4 OXFORDSHIRE MOSSES. 



Kjihemcmm serration. Hampe [Phasciwi Sclireb.). Wychwood 

 Forest, near Astlialleigh. 



Phascwn muticum Sclireb. Wychwood, near the last. 

 • Leptotrichum ftexicauie Hampe (Ditrichum). — Burford Quarries, 

 1873. Stonesfield, 1874, 1878. 



Trichostomum luridum {Dich/modon) Horusch. On walls at 

 Headington Hill and Cumnor Hill ; stones near Sandford Lasher ; 

 near Witney ; Asthalleigh and Ascott. — T. tophaceiuii Brid. In 

 plentiful fruit on the new embankment by the reservoir at Head- 

 ing Hill. A small form resembling T. luridum rather than the 

 usual states of this plant. December. — T. crispulum. Bruch. 

 Holton Stone-pits, scattered among grass in single stems, not 

 growing in tufts. 



TortuUi aloides Br. & Sell. Scarce about Oxford ; more plenti- 

 ful near Witney and Hailey. Winter. — T.fallax'H.edi^. North 

 side of Shotover Hill above the brick-yards ; near Islip, Bicester, 

 and Witney. November. — T. ru/idula Dicks {Didymodon H. & T,), 

 T. ri(jidiUum 13 densumWils., Bryol. Brit., T. neylectum Wils. MS. 

 Walls and stones near Witney and Asthalleigh, 1877. Wychwood 

 Quarries and by Singe Wood, 1879. Autumn. — 1\ sinuosa [Dicra- 

 nella) Wils. MS. ; Didymodon Schpr., Synops. Very scarce and 

 small near Oxford; frequent about Witney, and larger. Its favourite 

 place seems to be the loose soil at foot of a wall, but it occurs also 

 on stones, and on trees in watery places. Wall at Han well, near 

 Banbury ; sandy hedge-banks near Henley and Bagley Wood. A 

 singular moss, unknown as yet in fruit ; perhaps will prove even- 

 tually merely a depauperated state of the next. — T. tortnosa L. 

 Fine but barren on stone walls at Asthalleigh, and Widford, near 

 Bm-ford, 1876, 1879. — T. squarrosa Brid. [Pleurochmte Lindberg). 

 Holton Stone-pits-, scattered in the same manner as Trichostomum 

 crisptdum, and an equally unexpected find. — T. marginata Br. & Sell. 

 Great Tew, near the church ; plentiful, 1874, H. B. Magdalen 

 College Groves ; scarce, 1884, liev. H. E. F. Garnsey. — T. latifolia 

 Br. & Scb. Plentiful by the Evenlode, near Ascott, but fruit scarce. 

 Side of the Cherwell, in Christchurch Meadow, growing on stone, 

 and barren. April. — T. papulosa, Wils. Bare ; on trees near 

 Witney, Oxon, and Kennington, Berks. 



Zygodon viridisdmus Brid. Fruit rare ; Bodicote, near Ban- 

 bury, H. B. ; Watereaton, Rev. H. E. F. Garnsey. April. 



Ulota intermedia Schpr. Wychwood Forest ; Stokenchurch ; 

 Bagley Wood. To this belongs the [/. Bruchii of my former list, 

 and also many specimens passing as U. crisjxi and Bruchii in 

 herbaria, — for instance, Mr. Croall's specimens in the ' Plants of 

 Braemar.' It appears the most widely sjn-ead of the group, grow- 

 ing very much larger in the north : specimens that I gathered in 

 Kosshire and Skye are the finest I have seen, but Mr. MacAndrew 

 sends nearly as fine from Kirkcudbrightshire, where it grows in 

 company v.'itli Bruchii, crispa, crispida, and Drummondii, the last 

 two much less plentiful. July. 



Orthotrichum obtusijolium Sclirad. On two ash trees near 

 Wytham Wood, 1878. Growing with 0. tenellum and diaphanum.
