However numerous in species the phanerogamic flora 
was found to be, in mass it fell far short of the associated 
cryptogamic flora, though the latter was singularly poor 
in species. Two common mosses, Funaria hygromeirica 
and Barhula fallax were dominant above all other species 
in the burnt ground flora of January last. Taken together, 
these two species covered fully one -half of the total area 
occupied by vegetation within the burnt ground, and nont^ 
of the phanerogams approached either of them in the extent 
of surface occupied. The first -named of these mosses, 
la Charhonnierc of the French, so called in allusion to its 
marked predilection for burnt ground, was rather more 
abundant than the second, although the Barbula was more 
conspicuous by reason of the ruddy brown colour of its 
innumerable immature fruiting stems. The only other 
mosses noticed were three common species of Polytrichum, 
P. piliferum, P. juniperivdmi, and P. comniune. These were 
generally distributed in scattered patches but covered no 
considerable surface. I am indebted to Mr. David McArdle 
for confirmation or correction of my naming of these burnt 
ground mosses. As for the remaining cryptogamic species, 
Marchantia folymorpha was found to be frequent and 
luxuriant in various stages of fructification from September
