The Botany of Gough/fsland.—II. Cryptogams (excludi f Ferns 
and UnicellularAlgw)*. By R. N. Rupwosr Bot, B.Sc.,

Tuts paper completes the account of the Flora of Gough Island 
as at present known, with the exception of the unicellular Alge, 
which are not yet ready. 
The Mosses collected by the Scottish National Antarctic 
Expedition at Gough Island comprise nine species. 
One species is new (Macromitrium antarcticum) and three 
are, unfortunately, too incomplete to admit of more than generic 
determination. Of the remaining five it is curious to note that, 
despite the number of mosses known from Tristan da Cunha, 
only one of the Gough Island mosses has been recorded from 
there. 
The collection includes three Hepaties, all widely spread, and 
two of them previously known from Tristan da Cunha, while the 
third has been recorded from St. Helena. 
Seven species of Lichens were collected, all of comparatively 
wide distribution. 
One species of Fungus was found which from its distribution 
may quite possibly have been introduced. 
Finally, I wish to record my thanks to Dr. O. V. Darbishire, 
who has undertaken the Lichens, and to Mr. C. H. Wright, who, 
through the kindness of the Director of Kew, determined the 
Mosses and Hepatics.
