15S The Irish Naturalist. [July, 



BarOuIa Hornschuchll, Schultz.— " On the walls of Carrick Castle, 

 not in fruit, 1S37," D-IM. The only Irish record. The tufts are small, 

 dark coloured, and barren, and have not the look of vinealis, but 

 seem to be correctly named. It is bracketed as doubtful in Flora 

 N.E, Ireland. At first named T. (^racilis^ Hook. Grev., the specimens 

 were corrected later to the present name. 



*FunarIa obtusa (Dicks.), Lindb. — The specimen labelled " ^_;/w. 

 fasdculare, Hedw., Giant's Causeway, &c., in the Co. of Antrim, 1836," 

 D.M., is really F. obtusa. F. fascicnlaris (Dicks.) Schimp., seems to 

 be rare. The plant recorded by me in the Flora N.E.I, from Warren 

 point was P. pyriforfue. 



F. calcarca, Wahlg. — This species has not yet been found in the 

 North. The plant " on limestone soil. Deer Park, Cave Hill," D.M., 

 first named F. MuhlenbergH^ Turn., corrected to Gym. pyriforme., is really 

 that species (/*. pyriforme). 



Amblyodon dealbatus (Dicks.), Beauv.— It is strange that this 

 conspicuous plant has not been found of late years. The exact Co. 

 Antrim locality was "very rare, on a large bog, T. (townlaud) of 

 Glenbuck, P. of Rasharkin," D.M. 



Bryum prollferum (L.) Sibth.— This species was found by S. INIoore 

 and myself in great abundance on the Ballykinler sandhills, Co. 

 Down, April, 189S, during an excursion of the botanical section of 

 the Belfast Field Club. 



*IVInIum sllvatlcum, Lindb. {M. cuspidatiim, Hedw.). — Shady banks, 

 sandhills, Ballykinler, Co. Down, April, 1898, C.H.W. Found at the 

 same time as the last species, but occurs more sparingly. Name 

 confirmed by H. N. Dixon. 



*IVI. pseudo-punctatum, Br. & ^Q\v^r. {M. sithglobos2tm.,^xy. Eur.). — 

 Bogs, Creevy Lake, Saintfield, Co. Down, C.H.W. 



Leskea polycarpa, Ehr.— Shore of Lough Neagh, at Kinnego and 



Ardmore, Co. Armagh, C.H.W. 

 *Hypnum chrysophyllum (Brid.), De N. — Dry banks by canal 



Middleton, Co. Armagh, June, 1885. Bare field, Taberhuney, nr. 



Lurgan, Co. Armagh, Nov., 1882. C.H.W. 

 ♦H. polygamum (Br. Sch.), Wils.— Marshy shore of Lough Neagh, at 



Castor's Bay, Co. Armagh, July, 1886, C.H.W. This and the last 



species were confirmed by G. A. Holt. 

 H. cugryrlum, Schimp. — Besides the locality referred to in Lett's 



" Mosses of the Mourne Mountains" atOmeath, I found it in another 



locality, in young fruit, April, 1883, by a stream on Anglesey 



Mountain, Co. Louth, opposite Narrow-water. 

 H. Intermedium, Lindb. — Middleton, Co. Armagh, June, 1885, 



C.H.W. 

 *H. sarmcntosum, Wahlg.— A few stems occur marked with " } " with 



a gathering of H, cordifoHum from Ballycastle, June, 1836, D.M.
