Tortula sinuosa, in Oxfordshire. — A few days ago Mr. F. 

 Westell forwarded to me a specimen of this beautiful moss, gathered 

 by him near Witney during the present month, and in the note 

 accompanying it he states that Mr. H. Boswell has also gathered 

 it near Oxford. I have not specimens from Mr. Boswell, but there 

 can be no question about the Witney Moss, and from Mr. Boswell's 

 well-known character as a Bryologist, his word is quite sufficient. 

 We have thus another county for this moss, in addition to those 

 already recorded of Sussex (Davies), Cornwall (Boner), Devonshire 

 (Holmes), and near Bangor (Wilson). It is figured in " Journ. 

 of Bot.," vol. ix. (1871), p. 289, pi. 120, fig. 6.

British Mycologists will regret to learn that Mr. A. Jerdon, 

 of Allerton by Jedburgh, N.B., is deceased. For many years he 

 was an assiduous collector of Cryptogamia, and was instrumental 

 in augmenting our Flora with several very interesting species, 

 some of which bear his name.
