SOME HEPATIC^ FROM THE ISLE OF MAN 145 



were all collected during a short visit in April, 1914, to the Marine 

 Biological Station at Port Erin, followed by a two days' walk 

 through the more hilly part of the island. It seems, however, to 

 be worth while to publish this note, in order that others may, 

 perhaps, be induced to extend the list, and to deal with the 

 problems presented by the distribution of the plants within the 

 Manx area. More extended search will unquestionably result in 

 the recognition of many other indigenous species and genera. 



Conocephalum conicum (L.) Dum., common. 



Lunularia cruciata (L.) Dum., Port Erin. 



Aneura multifida (L.) Dum., rather common. — A. sinuata 

 (Dicks.) Dum., near Port Erin. — A. ijinguis (L.) Dum., rather 

 common. 



Metzgeria furcata (L.) Dum., Colby Glen; Chasms, Port Erin. 



Pellia einpkylla (L.) Corda, very common. 



Alicularia scalaris (Schrad.) Corda, many forms of this vari- 

 able species. 



Eucahjx subellipticus (Lindb.) Breidl., wet rocks in Sulby 

 Glen. 



Aplozia crenulata var. gracillima (Sm.) Heeg., Laxy Glen. 



Gymnocolea inflata (Huds.) Dum., roadsides through heather 

 moors. 



Plagiochila asplenioides (L.) Dum., Fleshwick Bay, 



Lophocolea cuspidata Limpr., woods and banks. — L. hetero- 

 pliylla (Schrad.) Dum., woods and copses. 



Ghiloscyphus polyanthus (L.) Corda, below wet rocks behind 

 Eleshwick Bay. 



Cephalozia bicuspidata (L.) Dum., common. 



Galypogeia Trichomanis (L.) Corda, common on the moors. 



Dip)lophyllum albicans (L.) Dum., common. 



ScajJania nemorosa (L.) Dum., Sulby Glen. — S. imdulata (L.) 

 Dum., Sulby Glen, &c. 



Lejeimia cavifolia (Ehr.) Lindb., rocks near Port Erin. — L, 

 cavifolia var. planiuscula Lindb., Colby Glen. 



Fmllania dilatata (L.) Dum., common on tree-trunks in 

 damp copses and woods. — F. Tamarisci (L.) Dum., amongst moss, 

 not uncommon. 



Anthoceros Icevis L., Sulby Glen. 



It will be noticed that several genera which might have been 

 expected to furnish species to be included in the above list are 

 conspicuous by their absence from it. Thus Lepidozia, Lophozia, 

 Fossomb)Wiia, Madothcca, Badula — to mention only a few of the 

 more prominent ones — were not encountered, although it seems 

 hardly likely that they are really unrepresented. In any event the 

 geological and general physical character of the island, as well as 

 its geographical position, should serve to render the study of its 

 hepatic flora both attractive and interesting.
