The Irish Naturalist, 1917, Vol. 26: A Monthly Journal of General Irish Natural History (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Irish Naturalist, 1917, Vol. 26: A Monthly Journal of General Irish Natural History
A visit to friends in the north of Ireland last summer gave me an opportunity, for which I had for some while been waiting, to explore the northern lakes of the Panad peninsula, East Donegal, with a view to studying their Characeae vegetation. The Ordnance map indicates some very tempting waters at the head of Mulroy Bay where a series of lakes skirts the seaboard and suggests brackish waters, the habitat of some of our rarer species. A train journey from Derry to Fahan, a boat journey across Lough Swilly to Rathmullen and a charming drive of 15 miles eventually brought me and my friend, Mr. Colin Montgomery, to Kindrum, where we stayed for a week (july 27 - August spending every available moment in, on or around the loughs which lie Close by, and where my companion did me good service both as dragsman and oarsman.
It may be of interest, I think, to record the results of an investigation made with such care as the limits of time and uncertainties of weather permitted. I should say at the outset that a boat was available only on Kindrum Lough for the rest I had to be content with wading along the lake margins and dragging from the shores. I have marked with an asterisk the species which appear to be new records for East Donegal.
