1 4 7/'<^ hisli Naturalist. January, 



Mnluin subglobosum, B. and S.— In a deep wet bog on White- 

 mountain, Co. Antrim. 

 Heterocladium heteropterum, B. and S., var. /3 fallax, ?*Iilde.— 

 On stones in several places in Colin Glen, Co. Antrim. I do not 

 know that this has been recognised in Ireland before. The type 

 seems rare. 

 Brachythecium albicans, B. and S— In fruit, on thatch, roadside 

 near Mo3-allon, Co, Armagh. Perhaps not ver}' uncommon, but 

 nearly always sterile. 

 B. salebrosum, B. and S.— Marshy place by River Lagan, half a mile 



below Lisburn, Co. Down. 

 Eurhynchium tenellutn, Milde.— Old mortared wall in ''The 



Rounds," Lisburn,Co. Antrim. 

 Plag^iothecfum Borrerianutn, Spruce. — At roots of ferns by the 



streamside above Colin Glen, Co. Antrim. 

 Hypnuiri aduncutn, Hedw. {A/nblystegium Kneiffii, B. and S.)— Boggy 

 ground near the cairn on Whitemountain, Co. Antrim. We seem to 

 have only three other localities in Ulster, and elsewhere in Ireland 

 it is noted as belonging only to Co. Dublin and Co. Wicklow. On the 

 Whitemountain it grows, not in tufts, but in .solitary stems amongst 

 Bretitelta arcttafa. 

 H. polygamum, Schp. — Margin of Boomers Dam, Lisburu, and on the 

 sandstone at Derriaghy, Co. Antrim ; also shore of Lough Neagh, 

 Go. Armagh. I think not before found in north Ireland. 

 H. chrysophyllum, Brid. — On damp blocks of granite in a bog at 

 Glasdrumman, Co. Down. This seems to be the first record from 

 the north. Its distribution in the south corresponds nearly with 

 that of the last species. 

 H. fluitans, Linn., var. falcifolium, Ren. — Clayey ground at 

 Boomer's Dam, Lisburn, Co. Antrim. A beautiful variety, which 

 seems not to have been noted in Ireland before. 

 H. vernicosuin, Lindb.— In a deep bog by the River Lagan, about a 

 mile above Lisburn, Co. Down ; and on Whitemountain, Co. Antrim 

 New to the northern list. 

 H. Patientlae, Lindb.— With H. polygamtim at Boomer's Dam, Lisburn. 

 H. cugyrlum, Schp. — Damp rocks by River Lagan, about a mile above 

 Lisburn, Co. Down. vSeems to be an addition to our northern list, 

 and the only other Irish records that I have seen are from Killarney. 

 H. scorpSoldes, Linn. — Bogs on Whitemountain, Co. Antrim, and at 



Glasdrumman, Co. Down. 

 H. gigantcum, Schp. — Not infrequent in deep swamps and bogs 

 about Lisburn, in both counties, and fruiting in one of its localities. 

 Through growing in deep bogs, where it is generally submerged, it 

 has doubtless been sometimes overlooked, and is probably not so 

 rare in Ireland as the very scanty records we possess would lead 

 one to suppose.
