78 LIST OF MOSSES. 



— may be able to judge from them of other and rarer species, which he 

 is likely to meet with in the same localities. 



I can answer for the correctness of the nomenclature, as Mr. Wilson has 

 most kindly verified those species about which I was in any degree uncertain. 



Sphagnum squarrosum. — In fruit on Kirkby Bank, but not very abundantly. 



S. cuspidatum. — Pools of water on Cran Moor: abundant, but always 

 barren. 



Dicranum squarrosum. — In fruit on Kirkby Bank, by the side of rivulets: 

 common; barren plants growing to a great length. 



Leucobryum glaucum. — On the moor in Bilsdale, but always barren. 



Distichium capillaceum. — Growing sparingly on Kirkby Bank, but in great 

 perfection. 



Didymodon flexifolius. — Bilsdale Moor: common. 



Trichostomum flexicaule. — Growing sparingly amongst rocks on the extreme 

 summit of Cold Moor, but without fructification. 



Eucalypta vulgaris. — With the above on the highest summit of Cold Moor. 



Racomitrium canescens. — Kirkby Bank: abundant near Carlton, in Cleve- 

 land, etc. 



Orthotrichum pumilum. — Wood near Ingleby Greenhow. 



0. Lyellii. — Wood on the left-hand side of the road leading from Great 

 Broughton to Bilsdale, but always barren. 



O. pulchellum. — Woods at Ingleby Greenhow, but sparingly distributed. 



Tetrodontium Brownianum. — On Sandstone Rocks on Kirkby Bank; also 

 at the Wainstone Rocks, but not very common. 



Aulacomnion androgynum. — Abundant at the Wainstone, but (of course) 

 barren. 



Bryum crudum. — Rocks on the summit of Cold Moor: bearing fruit in 

 May. 



B. Wahlenbergii. — Abundant by the side of a rivulet running down 

 Kirkby Bank: fruit in April. 



Mnium subglobosum. — Wet places on Kirkby Bank, in abundant fructi- 

 fication and very fine: April, 1857. 



Bartramia fontana. — Wet places on the Moor; very abundant and hand- 

 some. 



B. pomiformis. — By the side of the road leading from Kirkby to Bilsdale 

 Wood, near the Wainstone Rocks. 



B. arcuata. — By the side of a rivulet running down Kirkby Bank, near 

 the Wall that divides it from Carlton Moor. I only found it in this one 

 place, and there was no fructification, though the moss was luxuriant and 

 handsome. 



Discelium nudum. — On clay at the foot of Kirkby Bank, on the left- 

 hand side of the Bilsdale bridle road: very scarce.
