68 MOSSES. 



brown hairs on the lower part of the stem giving a dark 

 expression, while at the tips of the branches the tint is of 

 a golden olive. The leaves clasp the stem, and taper 

 to a fine point. Kincardineshire is the only habitat of 

 this moss that I know. 



The Bristly species and the Kusty species (C. longipilus 

 and flexuosus) inhabit wet rocks in subalpine districts. 

 The Dwarf one (C. tarfaceus) is slender and clustered, and 

 is found on ditch-banks, &c, with small Fork-mosses.
