side of Blavin in Skye, a distance of fourteen to sixteen miles. 

 Through what means the minute buds, detached from this moss 

 (the only method of propagation hitherto known), could have been 

 carried across nine or ten miles of sea is a nice question. This tuft 

 is the only one yet discovered on the mainland of Scotland. 

 Campylopus subulatns (Sch.) in two places with stems from a quarter 

 to half an inch long; C. sympkctus (Strn.); C. purpurascens (Strn.). 

 The last three are easily distinguished in the field, almost at sight, 

 and they present inter alia a curious gradation of the size of the cells 

 near the base of the anterior row in the nerve. In the first, these 

 cells vary from "oi to '014 mm. diam. ; in the second from '013 to 

 01 8 mm. ; in the third from '016 to "027 mm. ; C. Hunti (Strn.); 

 C. fulvoviridis (Strn.). C. atrovirens (De Not.), var. incurvatus 

 (Strn.), is not uncommon throughout the West of Scotland. C. brevi- 

 pilus (B. & S.) is rather rare, but a variety with abundance of red 

 tomentum in the lower half was found in several localities. This 

 may be called var. rutilescens. Lastly, a curious state of Bryum 

 alpinum, with the peculiar colour of, as well as with leaves slightly 

 incurved at the apex as in Br. Miihlenbeckii, but with areolation 

 distinctly that of Br. alpinum. Ceratodon conicus, Hyp. Crista- 

 castrensis, and Hylocomium timbratum were also seen.

ADDITIONS TO CENSUS OF SCOTTISH 

 HEPATIQE, 1904. 



By SYMERS M. MACVICAR. 



I HAVE examined specimens of the following additions to 

 the Census since January 1904. They number 368, most 

 having been found last year, but a considerable number 

 were collected in previous years. The additional species 

 for Scotland, which are also additions to the British Isles, 

 are Nardia Breidleri, Lophozia guttulata, OdontoscJiisma 

 Macounii, Kantia spJiagnicola, and Scapania paludosa. Mar- 

 snpella Pearsoni and CepJialoziella Jackii are additions to 

 Scotland. Marsupella sphacelata is an addition to the 

 Census, as I had not at the time seen a Scottish specimen. 



The vice-counties from which the fewest species have 

 been recorded are, Selkirk, Roxburgh, Berwick, Haddington, 

 North Aberdeen, Banff, Elgin, and Orkney.
