" Bryum erecta capitulis, calyptra laxa conica, foliis 

 serpilli pellucidis angustioribu?. Observed by Mr. 

 Vernon in Essex at Sir Thomas Middleton's House." 

 Mr. Fitch informs me that in Ray's time Sir Thomas 

 Middleton's House was Stanstead Hall. This quotation 

 from Ray's Synopsis, Ed. III., is the only record I am 

 able to find of the occurrence of this species in the 

 county.
