It may be added that the nomenclature and arrangement 

 employed in my short list are those adopted by Mr. Dixon in 

 his Stude7ifs Ha^idbook of B7itish Mosses, of which indispensable 

 work a new edition is shortly to be expected. 



Pleurldlum axlllare, Lindb. — Near Lisburn, Co. Antrim, and in many 

 places by stream -sides and on damp banks about Lenaderg, Co. 

 Down. Some stems were gathered with two or three capsules, one 

 above another, due to successive innovations, the lower capsules 

 then having the appearance of being lateral. Believed to be rare in 

 Ireland, but likely sometimes overlooked. 



P, altcrnifolium, Rabenh. — In a sandy field, Lenaderg, Co. Down. 



DIcranella rufescens, Schp. — Clayey ground, Lenaderg, Co. Down. 



D.Schretoeri, Schp.— With the last species. 



DIcranowcisIa cirrata, Lindb. — A moss thought to be rare in Ulster, 

 but plentiful on trees about Lenaderg, Co. Down, as it is found tobe 

 in other parts of the county, as also in Co. Antrim. 



Dlcranum Bonjeani, De Not., var. rug^lfollum, Bosw. — Spongy 

 bogs on White Mountain, Co. Antrim. A variety characterised by 

 very rugose foliage. 



Flssldens exllls, Hedw. — Damp banks, Lenaderg, Co. Down. 



F« tamarlndifollus, Wils. (J^. inctirvus var. tamarindifolius Braithw.) — 

 With Anthoceros pundatus on clayey ground in shady places, Lena- 

 derg, Co. Down. It may be stated that the singular fructification 

 of the Hepatic here mentioned, which is rare in Ulster, is to be seen 

 at all seasons of the year. 



F. rufulus, B. & S. -On stones, usually submerged, in the River Bann 

 at Lenaderg, Co. Down. Regarding this, Mr. Dixon remarks : — 

 " Your F. rufulus has less of the reddish tinge usual in that species, 

 and the leaf-border is less strong ; otherwise it agrees well with the 

 Yorkshire plant, which has been accepted as that." 



Crlminla apocarpa, Hedw., var. rivularis, W. & M.— Abundant on 

 submerged rocks in River Bann, Lenaderg, Co. Down. A variety with 

 an aspect of var. alpicola, and may prove to be that, but in the ab- 

 sence of fruit it is safest to refer here.
