this — never previously, to my knowledge — Dianthus deltoides L. has 

 been gathered on Wandsworth Common : it most likely came with 

 trees, brought from a local nursery-garden, planted for the L.C.C. 

 about ten years ago. — William WmrwELL. 



Yorkshire Mosses. — It may interest bryologists to know the 

 various habitats in the North in which I have found three mosses, 

 which have hitherto been considered as South of England. The 

 specimens from all the habitats have been kindly verified by Mr. 

 Dixon : — 



Eurhynchium speciosum Schimp. Ackworth (v.-c. 65) March, 



1898, on side of disused drain, and shaded by grass ; Clifton Ings, 

 York (v.-c. 62), April, 1899, on side of clay ditch, and shaded by 

 grass; UUeskelf (v.-c. 65), May, 1898, on land occasionally inun- 

 dated by the River Wharfe, and in shade along the field-side of a 

 hedge ; Sherburn-in Elmet (v.-c. 64), May, 1900, on side of damp 

 cinder-path, in shade between high walls ; on clay side of River 

 Foss, l''ork (v.-c. 62), in shade and often washed by the stream, 

 June, 1900, a very glossy form ; Staddlethorpe (v.-c. 65), Feb. 1898, 

 on wet stones by pond, and shaded by willows, a very stoloniferous 

 and dark form. 



Amblystegium Juratzkm Schimp. Staddlethorpe (v.-c. 65), May, 



1897, on wet stones, shaded by willows ; Sherburn-in-Elmet 

 (v.-c. 64), May, 1898, in quarry; Jackdaw Crag Quarry, Tadcaster 

 (v.-c. 64), June, 1898, on stone in shade, a very robust form ; 

 Hammerton (V.-c. 64), Sept. 1897, by River Nidd ; Appleton Roe- 

 buck (v.-c. 64), May, 1898, on side of clay ditch, in rhade ; Burton 

 Salmon (v.-c. 65), April, 1897, in magnesian limestone quarry ; 

 Naburn (v.-c. 61), Nov. 1899, in shade by water ; Lastingham 

 (v.-c. 62), by roadside on side of drain. May, 1899, with leaves 

 very squarrose, and cells a little narrower than usual, but otherwise 

 good A. JnratzktB (Dixon) ; Huntingdon (v.-c. 62), June, 1900, a 

 marked form, very distinct from A. serpens Dixon, on clay side of 

 drain by roadside; Healaugh (v.-c. 64), with leaves more strongly 

 toothed than usual, and leaf acumen almost squarrose (Dixon), a 

 marked form on base of tree by pool, with Hypmuii riparium var. 

 lonyi folium, Nov. 1896, and July, 1901 ; United Kilhope and Wel- 

 hope burns, Wearhead (v.-c. 66), July, 1898, in shade by river-side; 

 Coatham Marshes, on damp, shady ground, along with Morckia 

 hibernica, May, 1901. 



Amblystegium A'oc/u'i Bruch & Schimp. Driffield (v.-c. 61), July, 



1899, both the large form, identical with Sussex specimens, and a 

 smaller form, both growing by side of pool, in shade ; Clifton Ings, 

 York (v.-c. 62), July, 1898, on side of clay ditch in shade, a long- 

 stemmed and distant-leaved form; Barkstone (v.-c. 64, c.fr.), May, 



1898, in shallow magnesian limestone quarry ; Jackdaw Crag 

 Quarry, Tadcaster, June, 1898, on damp stone in quarry, a small 

 form; Coatham Marshes (v.-c. 62), on damp ground at the foot of 

 rushes, June, 1901, a small form. The three mosses above agree 

 closely as to their habitats, all delighting in continual damp ground 

 and shade, the latter promoting the former, and all ignoring the 

 nature of the soil or rock on which they grow. — Wm. Ingham.
