MOSSES AND HEPATICS OF SOUTH ABERDEEN 155 



Metzgeria conjugata Lindb. 92. Linn of Corrieinulzie. — M. 

 pubescens (Schrank) Eaddi. 92. Linn of Corriemulzie and Creag 

 Choinnich. 



Moerckia Blytii (Morck) Brockm. 89. Canlochan, c. fr. 

 92. Lochnagar and Ben Muich Dhui, c. fr. 94. Near Loch 

 Avon, c. fr. 



Gymnomitrium concinnatum (Lightf.) Corda. Abundant in all 

 the districts and not infrequently fertile, descending to about 

 1200 ft. — G. obtusum (Lindb.) Pears. Apparently rare. 89. Lower 

 slopes of the Cairnwell. 92. Glen Clunie. — G. adustum Nees. 

 92. Eocks above Loch Kander and near the summit of Lochnagar, 

 c. fr. — G. varians Lindb. Schffn. 92. Not infrequent on Ben 

 Muich Dhui and Lochnagar. — G. crassifoliwn Carr. A few stems 

 from Lochnagar seem to be referable to crassifolium rather than 

 varians. — G. alpinum (Gotts.) Scuff. 92. Wet rocks below the 

 summit of Lochnagar and on Ben Muich Dhui. 



Marsupella condensata (Angstr.) Kaal. 92. Ben Muich Dhui, 

 at alt. ca. 3700 ft., sparingly. — M. apiculata Schffn. (Plate 526, 

 figs. 7-9.) 92. Ben Muich Dhui, sparingly, with the last. For 

 further notes on this species, vide Journ. Bot. 1912, 367. — 

 M. Stableri Spr. 92. Moist rocks and soil near the summit of 

 Lochnagar and Ben Muich Dhui, rather frequent. When growing 

 on moist soil the plant is often more compact, with shorter, sub- 

 erect stems. — M. sparsifolia (Lindb.) Dum. 92. Moist ground a 

 little below the summit of Lochnagar, alt. ca. 3500 ft., near a spot 

 where M. sphacelata was growing submerged in a stream, c.fr. 

 I took it indeed for a starved form of sphacelata in the field. The 

 locality is probably the original one in which the plant was 

 discovered by the Messrs. Sim. — M. ustulata Spr. 92. Eocks 

 above Loch Callater and near the Linn of Muich, near Ballater, 

 c.fr.— M. Funckii (W. & M.) Dum. 92. Wall by the roadside 

 near Braemar, sparingly. — M. emarginata (Ehrh.) Dum. A small 

 blackish form occurred on rocks above Loch Kander, associated 

 with Oreas Mielichoferi and Grimmia atrata. A reddish form 

 showing some approach to M. Pearsoni occurred on Creag 

 Choinnich. — M. aquatica (Lindenb.) Schffn. 92. Coire Etchachan 

 and on wet rocks above Loch Etchachan. — M. sphacelata (Gies.) 

 Lindb. 92. Submerged in a small stream on Lochnagar, 

 alt. ca. 3500 ft., not infrequent where it occurred and fruiting 

 very sparingly, also on Ben Muich Dhui. 94. Streams above 

 Loch Avon. — M. Sullivantii (De Not) Evans. 92. Moist 

 stony ground on Creag an Loch above Loch Callater and on 

 Lochnagar. 



Alicularia compressa (Hook.) Nees. 92. Abundant on Ben 

 Muich Dhui up to about 3500 ft. Huge swollen tufts occurred 

 near the top of Coire Etchachan. — A. Geoscyphus De Not. 

 92. Near the head of Glen Callater, sparingly, c.fr. — A. Breidleri 

 Limpr. 92. Near the summit of Lochnagar and on Ben Muich 

 Dhui, not infrequent anywhere over 3500 ft. elevation. 



Eucalyx obovatus (Nees) Breidl. 92. Not uncommon near 

 Braemar, c. fr. A very minute bright red form occurred on rocks
