Mosses and Hepatics near A bninre East Inverness 
In Juiy 1921 in company with Mr H. H. Knight I spent the 
greater part of the month at Aviemore whence we were ableto 
explore the rich country in the neighbourhood, including 
Rothiemurchus and Glenmore forests, the north western side 
of the Cairngorms, the hills and lochs : near Aviemore and Loch 
 Ericht near Dalwhinnie. 
Lying as it does, about half way Labtcs the cast and west 
coasts af Scotland Aviemore partakes more of the climate of 
the east than of the west and the smaller rainfall and more con- 
tinental conditions are not favourable to the development of 
the flora of the atlantic littoral. Almost the only stragglers 
from this area were Gymnomilrium erenulalum Gotts, Anastro- 
phyllum Donianum (Hook.) Steph. and Pleurozia purpurea (Light) 
 Lindb.. The large forest of Rothiemurchus was distinctly disap- 
_pointing. The greater part of it is very dry, and the trees which, 
we understood, were mostly replanted about the middle of the 
last century were generally small and poorly-developed. Un-. 
fortunately a very considerable area of the forest had been 
urnt just before the time of our visit. There had been a few. 
finer trees on Glenmore Forest, but most of these had been 
cut down during the war and the survivors were too sparingly s 
scattered to give rise to much condensation. Fallen and decaying 
and stumps were few and far between and such as existed 
ere often in unfavourable situations for the growth of mosses or 
atics. One of the most interesting pieces of ground which we 
k upon, however, was a skree of fair-sized stones above th 
en Loch on the js. of Revoan on CHEMRRRE Forest. x he Se
