He joined the first field meeting organized by the Irish regional branch of the Botanical Society of the British Isles at Bantry in July, 1964. Subsequently he recommended that the native mixed

oak woodland at Uragh Wood near Clonee Lakes, Kenmare (visited

during the meeting) should be declared a Nature Reserve. This

request was granted after Dr Mooney's death and stands as an

appropriate memorial to a man whose life was devoted to forestry.

Bantry was his last expedition however, for his hard-driven

heart, which had stood up so bravely to the high mountains and deep

gorges where the Nile floods are born, collapsed suddenly one morning. The world has lost an expert field botanist and a very courageous

explorer and his many friends mourn his wonderful vigour, kindness, and cheery smile.

THE SPECIMENS OF TEMPLETON'S ALGAE IN THE QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY HERBARIUM

By M. P. H. Kertland

This list includes all the specimens in the Collection No. 1 reported on in this Journal last October (Kertland, 1966). All but five of the mounts show evidence of Templeton's handwriting, the excep tions are two from English localities signed D. Turner and three with no data (Nos. 12, 17 and 36).

The majority of the specimens were gathered from the coasts of Co. Antrim and Co. Down, which lie north and south of the

Belfast Lough respectively: the most northerly from the Giant's

Causeway, Co. Antrim, the most southerly from Kilkeel, Co. Down.

Two specimens sent ih by correspondents are noted?in Templeton's hand?as collected from "Dublin Bay" (Dr. R. Scott, Professor of

Botany at Trinity College, Dublin)* and "Gibraltar" (Dr. J. L.

Drummond, then serving as a naval surgeon in the Mediterranean

according to the Dictionary of National Biography). The specimens in the Collection were examined by Miss M. W.

Rea, with the assistance of Dr. Cotton of Kew, circa 1916-1918 and corrections and the changes to the contemporary nomenclature added to the new mounting sheets. Subsequent name changes have now been traced and are equated with the synonyms in the recent

Check List (Parke and Dixon, 1964). The modern names are placed within square brackets with any additional notes: Templeton's

original identification and notes then follow. The numbers pre

facing the separate entries are arbitrary Herbarium Catalogue references.

All latin names have been put in italics but otherwise the original script has been followed as closely as possible. Templeton

rarely inserted a full stop as he relied on spacing ^nd capitals to separate his statements. He, himself, published no algal notes but

was a frequent contributor to Dawson Turner's works and to English

Botany.

RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OP COUNTIES MEATH AND LOUTH

By D. Synnott

The following species with the exception of Spartina townsendii are first records for Counties Meath and Louth. Unless otherwise stated they were collected by the author during 1966. The Irish National Grid reference is given in each case.

Ranunculus ficaria subsp. bulbifer (Albert) Lawalree O.04.86

By the side of a fast-flowing stream in deep shade in King William's Glen, Tullyallen, Co. Louth on 1st June, 1966. This stream flows into the Boyne at the Obelisk Bridge, Oldbridge. There were several plants growing along the water's edge for a distance of about fifty yards.

The subspecies looks more straggly than the type and is easily recognized by the bulbils which occur in the axils of the leaves when the plant is at the fruiting stage. These bulbils are similar to the tubers which are such a distinctive feature of the lesser celandine.
