MOSSES AND HEPATICS OF SOUTH ABERDEEN 157 



Harpanthus Flotowianus Nees. 92. Cairn Taggart and Glen 

 Clunie, descending to about 2000 ft. in the latter locality. 



Gephalozia bicuspidata (L.) Dum. 92. Some very puzzling- 

 forms, blackish or rosy coloured, with closely imbricated leaves, 

 occurred on Lochnagar and Ben Muich Dhui, which I was 

 inclined in the field to refer to G. ambigua Massal., but the lobes 

 are generally more pointed and the leaf-cells larger than in 

 authentic specimens of that species. The plants are perhaps best 

 referred to alpine forms of the var. confer ta Huben., though it is 

 probably not always easy to distinguish between certain forms of 

 the variety and C. ambigua. — C. pleniceps (Aust.) Lindb. 92. 

 Morrone Hill, c.fr. 94. Moist ground by a streamlet above Loch 

 Avon, c. fr. — Var. macrantha (Kaal. & Nicholson) K. Mull. 92. 

 Marshy ground among Sphagnum, Glen Callater, c. per. Further 

 research with the Sussex plant proves it to be clearly monoicous, 

 and I am inclined to agree with Dr. Miiller in referring it to a 

 variety of C. pleniceps. — C. Loitlesbergeri Schffn. 92. Among 

 Sphagnum on the banks of the Lui Water not far from its 

 junction with the Dee, c. per. (H. H. Knight). A slight doubt 

 attached to the plant from Cockerham Moss, as the bracts and 

 perianth were not mature. The present plant has both fully 

 developed bracts and perianths, and agrees well with authentic 

 material from the Continent. — C.macrostachya Kaal. 89. Sphagnum 

 bog near Glenshee Lodge. — C. leucantha Spr. 92. Morrone Hill, 

 c. per. — C. Francisci (Hook.) Dum. 90. Peaty ground below Glas 

 Maoll. 92. Glen Quoich. 



Nowellia curvifolia (Dicks.) Mitt. 89. Glenshee, c. per. 92. Not 

 uncommon about Braemar, c. fr. 



Cephaloziella byssacea (Both) Warnst. 92. A rather remark- 

 able plant occurred on wet grassy ground near Loch Etchachan 

 with long rather acutely-pointed lobes, frequently toothed at the 

 base. I was inclined to refer it to a form of C. grimsulana Jack, 

 but this has obtuse lobes, and Mr. Macvicar and Herr Kaalaas 

 agree in referring it to the present species. Somewhat papillose 

 forms occurred near Ballater and in Glenshee, but they are not 

 sufficiently marked for the var. asperifolia (Jens.) Macv. — C. rubella 

 (Nees) Warnst. forma subsimplex Lindb. 92. A very minute, 

 deep red plant, hardly larger than Prionolobus striatulus, with the 

 bracts rather highly connate, occurred on Sphagnum in Glen 

 Callater and on Cairn Taggart, c. per. After reading Dr. Miiller's 

 illuminating treatment of this perplexing genus, I am inclined to 

 refer the plant to this form. 



Prionolobus striatulus Jens., Schffn. 92. Bare, but appar- 

 ently widely distributed, Cairn Taggart : Glen Callater : Glen 

 Quoich, c. per. Only a few stems were found in each 

 locality. 



Hygrobiella lax if olia (Hook.) Spr. 89. Canlochan. 92. Morrone 

 Hill and Glen Callater, sparingly. 



Pleuroclada albescens (Hook.) Spr. 92. Lochnagar and Ben 

 Muich Dhui. 



Bazzania tricrenata (Wahl.) Pears. 92 and 94. Sparingly
