I904- Da VIES. — Moss-notes from North Ireland. 19 



Zygrodon viridlsslmus, Brown. — C. fr. at Lenaderg, Co. Down. 

 Frequent throughout the district examined, alike on walls and trees, 

 but usually infertile. 



Orthotrlchum cupulatum, Hoffm. — Lenaderg and Moyallon, Co. 

 Down. 



O. rivulare, Turn. — Trees by R. Bann, Knocknagor, Co. Down. Seems 

 to be rare in Ireland. 



O. stramincum, Hornsch.— Alder and Sycamore, by the Newry Canal 

 at Scarva, and by the R. Bann at I^aurencetown, Co. Down. 



O. tencllum, Bruch.— With the last near Laurencetown. In the North 

 this species has so far been observed only in Co. Down. 



O, puIchelluiYi, Smith. — Frequent about Lenaderg, Co. Down. 



EphemeruiYi serratum, Hpe. var. angrustlfollum, B. & S. {E, 

 viinutissimum, Lindb.) — Ravarnette, Co. Down, and in several spots 

 about Lenaderg, in the same county, being very abundant in a £eld 

 called the Round Hill, at the latter place. In Ireland known only 

 from Antrim and Down. 



Funaria fasclcularls, Schp.— Sparingly in damp fields, Lenaderg, 

 Co. Down. 



Lcptobryum pyriforme, Wils.— Moist ground by the Lagan Canal 

 above Lisburn, Co. Antrim. Mr. Stewart notes this in Flora North- 

 east Ireland^ as " very rare," and in open places it seems to be so. 

 Indeed it appears to have been reported from only one other such 

 situation. But, as is known, the plant is not infrequent on flower- 

 pots and damp walls in green-houses. I have seen it in several, 

 amongst others in those of my friends Mrs. J. S. Brown, Bdenderry 

 House, Shaw's Bridge, Co. Down ; John Brown, F.R.S., Longhurst, 

 Dunmurry, Co. Antrim ; and it is very abundant and fruits freely in 

 my greenhouse at Lenaderg. 



Bryum erythrocarpum, Schwgr.— C /r. in damp, sandy ground at 

 Fairy Well, Lisburn, Co. Antrim. A plant, specimens of which I 

 have seen, supposed to belong here, was some years ago gathered by 

 Rev. R. C. Bindley in Co. Down, but in the absence of fruit it 

 could not be accepted with certainty. It appears remarkable that 

 this rather widely diffused moss should not before have had a 

 place in the Ulster list. It may, however, easily escape recognition 

 when capsules are not present. 



Fontlnalis antipyrctica, L., var. gracilis, Schp. i^F. gracilis^ 

 Lindb.). — In the R. Bann, above the old mill at Corbet (Tully- 

 connaught), Co. Down. Both the type and F. squamosa occur at the 

 same place, and from both, when seen growing, by its hue and 

 general aspect, the variety is easily distinguished. 



F, squamosa, L. — With the last, and on granite in the Bann at 

 Ballyroney, Co. Down.^ C. fr., July 12th, 1902. 



^ Since this was written, Mr. S. A. Stewart has informed me that in 

 1900 he gathered Fontlnalis sqtia??wsa in the Bann above Hilltown, some 

 miles beyond Ballyroney.
