178 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



Dicranodontium longirostre B. & S. Frequent. 



Dicranum Scott ianum Turn. Not uncommon, and often in 

 fruit. 



Grimmia retracta Stirt. In fine tufts among Pterogonium 

 gracile and FruUania tamarisci on rocks and boulders, shores of 

 Upper Lake, near Cromaglown. 



Campylostelium saxicola B. & S. Among scree in woods at 

 Tore Mt. and Loo Bridge. 



Leptodontium recurvifolium Lindb. Above Tore Cascade. 



Tnchostomum crispulum var. elatum Schp. Rocks, Tore Mt. — 

 T. tenuirostre v&r.Holtii Braithw. Horse's Glen. — T. hibemicum 

 Dixon. In fine sheets at Eagle's Nest Mt., Cromaglown and Tore 

 Mt. Horse's Glen (sparingly). — T. nitidum Schp. Rocks near 

 Dinis. — T. tortuosum Dixon. Not uncommon in fruit. 



Ulota Drummondii Brid. Tore Gen. — U. calvescens Schp. 

 Tore Glen, on hawthorn. 



SplacJinum ampullaceum L. Bog near Loo Bridge. 



Bryum Mildeanum Jur. Mangerton Mt. 



Daltonia splachnoides Hook. & Tayl. Tore Glen and Mt. 

 Eagle's Nest. 



Hooker ia Icete-virens Hook. & Tayl. Very fine on wet rocks 

 by 0' Sullivan's Cascade. 



Brachythecium illecebrum De Not. Walls, Muckross, in fruit. 



Eurhyncliium circinatum B. & S. Innisf alien. 



Sematophyllum demission Mitt. Generally distributed on the 

 lower ground and in fruit. — S. micans Braithw. Tore Glen, rocks 

 near Hunting Tower, Cromaglown, Eagle's Nest, Glena and 

 O'Sullivan's Cascade. No fruit was seen. The var. badense 

 Herzog, first found in the Black Forest, Germany, occurs in 

 Merionethshire, and at Rosthwaite, Cumberland. No trace of 

 this form was found in Killarney. 



Plagiothecium elegans Sull. At Cromaglown and near O'Sulli- 

 van's Cascade, in fruit. 



Orthothecium intricatum B. & S. A peculiar green form, much 

 more robust than the type, was gathered by Mr. Duncan on wet 

 rocks at Eagle's Nest. 



Hypnum imponens Hedw. Found by Mr. Duncan near 

 O'Sullivan's Cascade, and submitted to Mr. H. N. Dixon, who 

 named it this species. — H. circinale Hook. Much difference of 

 opinion has existed as to whether this plant has ever been found 

 in Killarney. No fruiting specimens were ever met with in this 

 country, and the difference in vegetative characters between those 

 gathered in the district and H. cupressiforme var. mamillatum 

 Brid. was not such as to enable one to establish the occurrence 

 of H. circinale with any degree of certainty, in the absence of fruit. 

 Moreover, the difficulty was increased, according to Mr. Dixon in 

 his Handbook, p. 538, because the sterile plants from these parts, 

 upon which the record is based, differed from the true North 

 American specimens of H. circinale in the lower areolation, and 

 in the peculiar form of leaf base not being so clearly marked.
