Wilson's notes on British muscology. 383 



37. Cindidium Stygium Discovered in the year 1836, 



near Malhany iu Yorkshire, by John Nowell of Todmorden. 

 A second locality in the same neighbourhood was found 

 afterwards by the writer of these notes. The capsules are 

 ripe in June. 



38. Glyphocarpa? cernua. MS. — A curious little Moss 

 found on Connor Hill in Ireland in the year 1829, and sub- 

 sequently at Curn Bychan, near Harlech, by the Rev. Mr 

 Salwey. It is quite destitute of a proper peristome, with a 

 drooping pyriform capsule. In other respects it closely re- 

 sembles Bartramia fontana in miniature, and may perhaps be 

 only a variety. 



39. Buxhaumia aphylla. — New localities for this very rare 

 Moss have recently been detected in the Bowling hills, near 

 Glasgow, by Mr G. J. Lyon ; and on the Sedlaw hills, For- 

 farshire, by Mr W. Gardner, Junr. 



40. Pterogonium filifonne The British Moss, so called, 



having by some been regarded as only a state of Pt. gracile ; 

 it may be proper to observe, that, in addition to the papillose 

 surface of the leaves of Pt. Jlliforme, the margin is reflexed, and 

 by that mark easily distinguished. In fructification Pt. fili- 



forme is exceedingly rare; the only station known to the writer 

 is on Ben-Cruachan, near Killin, Perthshire. 



41. Anomodon curtipendidum — The genus Anomodon ap- 

 pears to be founded on insufficient characters : in the species 

 before us the inner peristome is quite unattached to the outer, 

 and is in every respect similar to that of Neckera. 



42. Daltonia is another apparently spurious genus. A new 

 species, D. nervosa^ found in the southern United States by 

 the late Mr Thomas Drummond, has a dimidiate calyptra, 

 while in Neckera pennata the capsule is immersed, and the 

 calyptra mitriform. 



43. Daltonia splachnoides (now removed to the genus 

 Hookeria,) has been recently found near the summit of Bran- 

 don Mountain, Ireland, by Mr D. Moore. 



44. Hypnum tenellum, — This Moss, according to Bridel, 

 and in opposition to Schwsegrichen, ought to be called H.
