Cornish Mosses. 



The mosses below occurred mainly in the vicinity of Looe and 

 Polperro in East Cornwall ; I have also included some records 

 from West Cornwall. Tortula dtrovireiis var. edentula growing 

 near Looe is a variety new to the British Islands, and other 

 interesting species are Pottia Wilsoni found plentifully in one 

 place on the coast to the east of Looe and merging into the 

 P. asperula with which it grows, P. Starkeana on clay cliffs at 

 Portnadler, Looe, Tortula Icevipila var. Icevipilceformis discovered 

 in three Cornish localities and lacking the foliose gemmae though 

 placed under this var. by Mr. Dixon, U. phyllantha growing with 

 Grimmia maritima on rocks by the sea at Polperro and on trees at 

 Trelawne near Looe, Webera Tozeri occurring sparingly with 

 W. carnea at Polperro, the wet place form of Eurynchium Sivartzii 

 observed in w^atery places around Looe and Polperro, and E. 

 circmatum growing on rock near Looe Station and pointing to 

 the presence of lime in the Lower Devonian strata. I am very 

 much obliged to Mr. F. Eilstone (R.), of Polperro, for many 

 stations including seven new vice-county records. West Cornwall 

 is separated from East Cornwall by a line traced along the 

 high road from Truro, through St. Columb to the inland ex- 

 tremity of Padstow Creek, the salt water at the two ends of 

 this line completing the division. (1 = West Cornwall. 2 = East 

 Cornwall.) 



Polytrichum abides Hedw. 2. Very frequent near Polperro (i?.).
