ILFRACOMBE MOSSES AND HEPATICS.

 autumn and winter months), Trichostomum mutahile var. littorale 

 and Zygodon Stirtoni, while Weisia verticillata groAvs in a rock

 (quantity at one place on the Parade ; upon Lantern Hill, near the 

 harbour and in the heart of the town, the rare fruit of Zygodon Stir-

 edentula occur. Noteworthy additions to North Devon are the
