Among the discoveries of localities for scarce plants not new to the 
Flora, we have : 
Neotinea intacta. Found by D. Moore on the shores of Lough 
Corrib in Mayo, associated with Ophrys apifera, Potentilla fruticosa, 
and other species characteristic of the Burren District, and therefore 
leading us to expect the discovery of this rare little orchid in other 
localities intermediate between Cong and Castle Taylor. 
Eumex maritimus. Found by the Eev. T. Allin in Cork, this being 
the second Irish locality. 
Arundo Epigejos. Gathered by Mr. H. C. Hart in Great Aran 
Island, this making the third locality in Ireland. 
Biotis maritima. Found at Carnsore Point, "Wexford, by Mr. J. 
"Waddy. A new station for one of the scarcest British plants. 
Equisetum trachyodon {Mackaii I^ewm.) at Blarney, and 
CaUitriche autumnalis at Killarney, both unexpectedly found to 
range to the South of Ireland. 
Eriophorum latifolium at Koundstone. Eange of a very local species 
extended to the West of Ireland. 
Selminthia eehioides. Eange extended northwards to Antrim, and 
another instance of a local southern species occurring in north-east 
Ireland. 
Adiantum Capillus-veneris. Limerick, Mayo, and Donegal added 
to the few counties in which this very local Fern has been found. 
Foa eompressa. Ballycastle and Portadown, two new districts for 
a very scarce grass, 
Selerochloa procumhens, Belfast, previously collected at Cork only. 
Galium uUginosum, Erythroea pulchella, Car ex axillaris. New localities 
for three scarce plants, of which we had previously seen no Irish 
specimens. 
The extension and increase of alien weeds is illustrated by the 
spread of — 
Anacharis Alsinastrum. Diplotaxis muralis. 
Veronica Buxbaumii. Melilotus officinalis, 
V. peregrina. Eumex pulcher. 
Crepis taraxacifolia. Sisymbrium Irio. 
To these we may perhaps add : 
Sisyrhj^nchium Bermudiana. Orobanche minor. 
Cuscuta Trifolii. Valerianella carinata. 
While as examples of decrease we have : 
Carex Buxbaumii. Eriophorum latifolium. 
C. paradoxa. Euphorbia Peplis. 
Lathyrus palustris. Trichomanes radicans. 
Arundo stricta. Erica ciliaris. 
Some of these have suffered from drainage and the reclamation of 
bogs, and through the recent operations of lowering the level of several 
of the large lakes. Euphorbia Feplis, from inroads of the sea or changes
