FRESHWATER RHIZOFODA AND HELIOZOA OF SCOTLAND 227 



For the purpose of recording the results the material 

 collected may be divided into A. Gatherings of sphagnum 

 and other bog-mosses ; and B. Gatherings of drier mosses 

 from woods, rocks, and walls. This division is convenient, 

 for it is found that while many species of Rhizopod inhabit 

 "moss" indifferently, whether wood-moss or bog-moss, 

 some species are restricted to sphagnum, while others again 

 are characteristic of the drier mosses growing on rocks and 

 walls, or on the ground in woods, and these latter are 

 generally less well-known than the others. 



The following gatherings were made : 



A. BOG-MOSSES (SPHAGNUM, ETC.). 



1. From Craigcaffie (near Stranraer), Wigtownshire. 



2. Genoch Moor (near Stranraer), Wigtownshire.

 of individuals. The richest gatherings came from Craigcaffie and 

 Ben Ledi.
