The spikelet clusters are larger and denser than in the type. 

 The spikelets are mostly empty, with expanded lower glumes ; a 

 few remain about 3 mm. long, but the stamens are all more or less 

 aborted; the latter differ from those of the type in h?iving filaments 

 nearly as long as the upper portion, which consists of a more or less 

 aborted anther and an acuminate connective. 



KENT MOSSES. 

 By E. M. Holmes, F.L.S. 



In 1877 a list of the Mosses of Kent was prepared with the view 

 to Its mcorporation in the Blora of Keyit, when published. When 

 that work was recently finished, I was unable to spare the time to 

 bring the cryptogamic flora of the county up to date, but am now 

 able to publish additional species of mosses. I pointed out in 1877 

 that several more species might be expected to occur in Kent, and 

 the majority of those then indicated have since been detected and 

 many new localities for previously recorded species have been dis- 

 covered, especially by the Rt. Hon. Lord Justice Stirling, who has 

 most carefully investigated the neighbourhood of GoudhSrst, where 

 he resides, and where, as might have been expected from the simi- 

 larity of the soil to that of the neighbouring districts in Sussex 

 many species recorded for Sussex, but previously unknown as 

 Kentish, have been discovered, especially on the damp sandy clay 

 which, except near the neighbourhood of Tunbridge Wells is not 

 frequent m Kent. Since the publication of the list of Kentish 

 Mosses, Mr. Dixon's excellent Student's Handbook of British Mosses 

 has appeared and has come into general use, and Mr. E. C. Horrell 

 has published an account of the Spharpiacem as revised by Warnstorf 

 In the following list, therefore, the names given by these two authors 

 will be followed; those in the previous list will be given in paren- 

 theses, but for the sake of convenience of reference the order followed 

 will be that of the previous list published in 1877. The initials 

 used indicate the following gentlemen by whom the various species 

 were detected : — 



J. S. . . The Right Honourable Lord Justice Stirling 



W. E. N. . Mr. W. E. Nicholson, Lewes. 



E. S. S. . Mr. E. S. Salmon, Reigate. 



E. C. H. , Mr. E. C. Horrell, Peckham.
