ii 4 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



Of species of interest previously found on Ben Vorlich, I 

 have seen specimens of Scapania ornithopodioides, gathered 

 by Gourlie and by the Rev. C. A. Johns, and Jamesoniella] 

 gathered by Dr. Stirton. To the last botanist the credit is 

 due of being the first to distinguish this species, it having 

 been previously confused with Nardia compressa. 



The species observed in the district were as follows : 



FRULLANIA TAMARISCI (Z.). Common on rocks and trees on the low 

 ground; uncommon on the hill, ascending to 2200 feet. 



F. FRAGILIFOLIA, Tii}'/. Rather common on the low ground, 

 noticed generally on trees; on the hill at 2000 feet. f. 

 germana, Tayl. On trees at Allt Dubh-uisge. F. dilatata (L.). 

 Rather common on trees on the low ground ; not seen on the 

 hill. 



LEJEUNEA OVATA, Tayl. Rare ; on a rock at Allt Dubh-uisge. 



L. SERPYLLIFOLIA (Dicks.}. Very common on rocks in the ravines ; 

 uncommon on the hill, ascending to 2100 feet. Z. patens, 

 Lindb. Rather common in the more shaded parts of Ben 

 Vorlich ravine, usually creeping among other species and 

 mosses on rocks and trees ; noticed on the hill at 2100 feet. 



L. MICROSCOPICA, Tayl. Rare ; in a few of the most shaded parts 

 of Ben Vorlich ravine, creeping among other species on rocks. 



RADULA LINDBERGH, Gottsche. Rare; on the hill at 2000 feet. 



R. COMPLANATA (Z.). Very little of this generally common species 

 was seen ; perhaps partly overlooked. 



PLEUROZIA COCHLEARIFORMIS ( Weiss]. Uncommon on the part of 

 the hill visited; noted at 1500 feet. 



ANTHELIA JULACEA (Z.). Very common on wet rocks on the hill, 

 c. fr. at 2200 feet. 



HERBERTA ADUNCA (Dicks.}. Common on the hill on banks, among 

 rocks and stones. 



MASTIGOPHORA WOODSII (Hook.}. Very rare ; a few stems among 

 Scapania ornithopodioides. On a rocky bank at 2000 feet. 



BLEPHAROZIA CILIARIS (Z.). Frequent on the hill. 



TRICHOCOLEA TOMENTELLA (Ehrh.}. Wet ground in the wood, 

 Ardlui. 



BLEPHAROSTOMA TRICHOPHYLLUM (Z.). Observed on banks up 

 to 2100 feet. 



LEPIDOZIA REPTANS (Z.). Ardlui. Z. setacea (Web.). Very common 

 on peaty banks at 1600 feet ; not seen on the low ground.
