THE FLORA OF HALIFAX. 159 



1888. Harley Wood near Todmorden.— A. Stansfield; 

 Lees' FL, with the remark " First record for the Riding." 

 This is scarcely accurate. Bolton's record under subro- 

 iundatum, Huds., is the first for the Riding. It is worth 

 noting that Dr. Braithwaite in his Brit. Moss. Fl. retains 

 Hudson's name for this species. 



Not common. In addition to the above localities it has 

 been met with in Crimsworth Dean (/. Needham), Grain- 

 ings Water Valley below Widdop (W. B. Crump), and in 

 the higher reaches of Booth Dean, Rishworth, J. T.

 den, Rishworth ; Gosport Clough, Stainland ; Grainings

It especially likes the face of a moist vertical bank partly 

 overhung with drooping grass, where it can have all the 

 surface to itself. Most frequent near streams.
