Mask, Clonbur. FJiijncospora fusca E. & S. 8. Very plentiful about Maam; also below Kilbride Mountain, W. of L. Mask. Cladiiim jamaicense Crantz. 8,9. Frequent on the S. side of L. Mask.

In a swamp between Maam and L. Corrib, growing on tussocks of C. Hudsoni Ar. Benn. (C stricta Good.), which also occurs about Clon- bur, both in Mayo and Galway. — C. aquatilU Wahlenb., var. elatior Bab. Plentiful for twenty or thirty yards by the Maam river, about a quarter of a mile above the bridge. An interesting extension of its known Irish range. — C. Goodenovii J. Gay, var. junceila (Fr.). 9. Swamp opposite Ashford House, Cong, in two somewhat distinct- looking forms. — C. flacca Schreb. 8, 9. A form with very hispid fruit is abundant on the limestone S. of L. Mask. — C. limosa L. 8. Very common on the heaths near Maam. — C. lavigata Sm. 8. Between Clonbur and Mount Gable. — G.fulva Good. 8, 9. Plentiful about Maam ; also noted from Clonbur and Cong. — C. chrysites Link (C. Jlava var. cyperoides Marsson). 8, 9. N.W. shore of L. Corrib, and in two or three places on the S. side of L. Mask. We think that this should be maintained as a distinct species. — C.

Several fine tufts were noticed in ditches by the railway between Galway and MoycuUen. — C. rostrata Stokes. 8. A remarkably tall, stout form, with broad, flat leaves, looking (at a little distance) like some other species, is not uncommon near Cong; it much resembles the figure of the Co. Armagh C. rhynchophysa, though the spikelets are a good deal more slender. A similar plant from Co. Westmeath has been determined by Mr. Bennett as C. ajnpullacea forma planifulia Norman, Ft. Arct. Norvegia. — C. vesicaria L. 8, 9. In damp places S. of L. Mask ; rare. Arrhenatherum avenaceum Beauv. The var. nodosum Reichb. was noticed in one spot near Clonbur. Sesleria ccendea Ard. 8, 9. On the limestone S. of L. Mask ; too much withered to show whether the type or not. Associated with this was Koeleria cristata Pers., var. gracilis (Boreau). Melica unijlora Retz. 8, 9.
