178 AXNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



mosses. C. curvifolia (Dicks.). Common on bare peaty soil 

 in Strathcarron Moss, rare elsewhere. C. Francisri (Hook.). 

 On bare moist peaty soil at side of drain on the road to Atta- 

 dale. This is the first locality in the West Highlands from 

 which I have seen a specimen. The small notch of leaf and 

 the numerous flagellas, combined with the small size of the 

 plant and its reddish colour, allow it to be readily distinguished 

 in the field. C.fluitans (Nees). Seen only in one place in 

 Strathcarron Moss. C. Sphagni (Dicks.). Abundant in Strath- 

 carron Moss. C. divaricata (Sm.). Very little seen. C. 

 leucantha, Spruce. On a decaying log with Lophocolea cuspidata 

 in ravine on road to Attadale ; in several places on moist peaty 

 banks ; Ben Liath Mhor at 1600 ft. ; also at Kyle. 



HYGROBIELLA LAXIFOLIA (Hook.}. Sides of stream in ravines; un- 

 common. 



SCAPANIA RESUPINATA, Diim. Very common in the district, also 

 common with fruit. . aspera, Bernet. Strome Ferry and 

 ravine, Strathcarron. S. nemorosa (L.). Uncommon. 6". 

 iindulata (L.). Rather common on Glasven, but not so else- 

 where. S. purpurascens (Hook.). Very common. S. irrigua 

 (Nees). Common at sides of ditches and wet places in some 

 localities. S. curt a (Mart.). On bare soil near road to Atta- 

 dale. S. umbrosa (Schrad.). On turfy soil near Coulag ; on 

 logs in a ravine ; rare. 



DIPLOPHYLLUM ALBiCANs(Z.). Verycommon. Z>.ZV<rsw',(Hook.). 

 Very rare ; on a boulder, Ben Liath Mhor, at 400 ft., c. per. 



LOPHOCOLEA BIDENTATA (Z.), and L. cuspidata, Limpr. The aggre- 

 gate species is common. Typical specimens of the first were 

 gathered on a bank, and of the latter on decaying logs, with 

 fruit. 



CHILOSCYPHUS POLYANTHOS (Z.). Common in wet grassy ground, 

 also at sides of ravines. 



HARPANTHUS SCUTATUS (Web. and Mohr.). On moist, shady banks, 

 Strathcarron, rare ; peaty banks among rocks on seashore, Kyle. 



MYLIA TAYLORI (Hook.}. Very common ; on bare soil at sides of a 

 ravine at the schoolhouse, Strathcarron, it occurs in abun- 

 dance as a low-creeping plant. M. anomala (Hook.). Strath- 

 carron moss ; appeared to be uncommon. 



PLAGIOCHILA ASPLENIOIDES (Z.). Common; Strome Ferry, with 

 fruit ; the large form (major, Nees) in ravines rare, but plentiful 

 on banks in the wood at Strome Ferry. P. spinulosa (Dicks.). 

 -Very common ; common with perianths, but male plants rare. 

 P. punctata, Tayl. Uncommon except in Strome Ferry wood ; 

 rather common on shady banks at Kyle.
