all the information they askel for, or hinted might be useful; and I

initimated more than once that more remained behind, in case I could be

of any further assistance. Had they desired it, the whole of the material

would have been placed in their hands. The sentence which they quote was penned merely with the object of showing that inter-communication existed between us, as I thought that possibly the appearance of so long

a list of additional district-records might suggest tllat the material had been withheld from those engaged on the new Cybele. An accusation of

caprice in the case of the preparation of that work would be absurd.

Chatomorpha crassa at Achill.

While collecting algae at Achill Island in April, i898, I found growing

in some abundance the rare alga, Chtomorjhha crassa, Kutz., which was

kindly identified for me by Mr. ]ED. M. Holmes. The only locality hitherto known for this plant is North Wall, Dublin. That it should

flourish there, and on the west coast of Ireland, and nowhere else in the

British Isles, shows how complex are the conditions determining the distribution of seaweeds.

Carex punctata, Gaud., in East Cork.

On September ist, i898, I discovered a luxuriant patch of this very

rare and interesting sedge by the side of a field overlooking the sea between Power Head and Ballycottin. This record extends the known range of the plant in Ireland eastward by about fifteen miles, andbrings it into District II. of CybeZe Hibernica.

Mryosotis colllna, Hoffm., In Co. Waterforci.

This plant, which seems to be sparingly distributed in Ireland, occurs plentifully on the sandhills at Tramore, where I found it last summer, thus adding another species to the flora of District II.

IVIelilotus parviflora in Co. Antrim.

An alien, first noticed in Ireland in I887, in Co Down (Praeger), there

are in all four localities for this plalnt recorded in the new Cybele Hibernica. To these may now be added another, namely, Grove Green, Lisburn, Co. Antrim, where it occurs in ground now waste, anld where, in December (1893), it was still in flower.
