First found in boggy plains in the New Forest, Hampshire, and at 

 Drumly Airy, a waterfall on the Noran, Angusshire, by C. Lyell, Esq. 

 Near Bantry, Ireland, Miss Hutchins. Near the bridge at Aberffraw, 

 growing in small radiated tufts, soon covered (before the capsule is ripe) 

 by the drifted sand of the sea-shore, Air. Wilson. — jS. Lough Bray, near 

 Dublin, Dr. Taylor. Catlaw, Angusshire, C. Lyell, Esq. Fr. Spr. — 

 At the suggestion of Mr. Wilson, 1 readily unite the J. Hibernica of the 

 British Jungermannia; with J. Lyellii. I had laid some stress upon the 

 relative length of the calyptra and inner perianth, but 1 am now inclined 

 to believe it is a fallacious character, and that none better can be 

 found (and those certainly liable to vary) than the difference in the size 

 of the plants, and in the scales of the midrib on the underside which 

 conceal the anthers. 



Obs. There being already a J. affinis, of Nees Von Esenbeck, the 

 plant which bears that name at p. 1 1 1, n. 18. of this volume should be 

 altered to J. turbinata, Wilson in E. JBot. Suppl. ined.
