Walls, banks and in fields among grass. Fr. June, July. — This is 

 indeed a highly variable plant; the dwarf specimens growing in dry 

 fields can scarcely be recognized as the same with the luxuriant ones 

 inhabiting the moist banks of rivers. The leaves are usually consider- 

 ably recurved when moist ; in the var. £., they are longer and sharper 

 than in the other states of the plant. 



14. T. gracilis, Hooker and Grev. (slender Screw-Moss); 

 stems elongated somewhat branched, leaves lanceolato-aemni- 

 nate erect rigid when dry very straight the margin recurved, 

 capsule oblongo-ovate, lid rostrate very short. Hooker and Grev.

Scotland, Dicks., Drummond. /3. Durham and Northumberland, Mr. 



Winch, Near Cork, Mr. James Drummond. Fr. ? Nearly allied 



to T.fullax, but a slenderer plant, with leave* that are far more rigid, 

 more erect, and very straight, when dry appressed to the stem. Colour 

 brownish-green. Perhaps the var. 0. might with more propriety be 

 referred to the preceding species. 



21. Cinclidotus. Beam: Lattice-Moss. 

 Seta (very sharp) terminal. Peristome single, of 32 filiform 

 at length twisted teeth, anastomosing at the base. Cafyptra 

 mitrifbrm. | Muse. Brit ft 1.) — Name. xjyXi&vrvf, latticed: from 

 the anastomosing teeth or cilia. — Mr. Wilson has observed thai 

 at the moment when the Lid is removed, the teeth of the peri- 

 stome are scarcely inclined, certainly not twisted; although 

 they afterwards become so.
