2i6 The Irish Naturalist. July, 



Co. Kerry), but Moore, through an apparent misunderstanding 

 of its confused synonymy, has, in his Synopsis, erroneously 

 placed these under Pleuridium alt erni folium. The plant ap- 

 pears year after year in my garden, in company with Phascimi 

 cuspidatum and Pottia iruncatula, but during the time it has 

 been under observation il has remained sterile. 



The record now given for Thuidium recognitum is new for 

 Ulster. From my friend, Canon Lett, I have examples of the 

 plant, gathered by him so long ago as 1884 (Co. Louth), and 

 1898 (Co. Kerry). The superficial resemblance of this species 

 to the common T. taviariscinum is so close that it may be easily 

 overlooked, and is probably not so rare as might be supposed. 



It is to be mentioned that such of the mosses now under 

 notice, as to the right identification of which there could be 

 any doubt, have passed through the hands of Mr. H. N. Dixon. 

 For his kindness in examining them I may be permitted here 

 to make grateful acknowledgment.
