122 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



Sphenolobus Pcarsoni extends inland to the Kells range 

 of hills in Kirkcudbrightshire. This minute subalpine and 

 alpine species, which is apparently confined to granite, will 

 perhaps be found on the Eastern Grampians. Radula 

 aquilcgia extends inland to New Galloway. Harpalejeuma 

 ovata is more frequent inland, and extends rather further 

 than the others of its group. 



2. Species also on the east coast near the sea-shore, but 

 not inland : 



Lophocolea spicata. Frullania germana. 



The first of these is almost confined on the west coast 

 to rocks on the shore. The only known locality for it on 

 the eastern side is in a ravine close to the shore in Berwick- 

 shire. The second is frequent on rocks on the shore of the 

 west coast. Its eastern locality is on the Isle of May. 



3. Species extending for a short distance over the 

 western watershed into the eastern : 



Plagiochila punctata . Scapania nimbosa. 



Clasmatocolea cuneifolia. Cololejeunea microscopica. 



Mastigophora Woodsii. 



Plagiochila punctata extends further inland than the 

 others, reaching to Killin. I should have felt inclined to 

 include Microlejcnnea nlicina here. It is a western species 

 in Scotland extending inland to the Trossachs, but it has 

 been found in several places in the centre of Europe. It 

 prefers a dryer and less sheltered situation than the un- 

 doubted Atlantic species of its family, and is probably of 

 a more robust constitution. 



4. Species common on the west coast, continuing frequent 

 in some parts of central Scotland, but becoming very rare 

 towards the east coast : 



Metzgeria hamata. Lepidozia Pearsoni. 



Gymnomitrium crenulatum. Scapania gracilis. 



Plagiochila spinulosa. Pleurozia purpurea. 

 Saccogyna viticulosa. 



5. Subalpine and alpine species common to the western 

 watershed and the Eastern Grampians :
