In our old pasture lands, in our moors, and in our deans, the 

 Mosses yield only to the Grasses in the share which they contribute 

 to the covering of the earth. The Hypna are the most predominant, 

 and when these abound to excess, the pasture is impoverished, and 

 is said to be full of " Fog." 



The species seldom fruit when growing exposed to light in 

 pastures. It is in shaded deans, on moors, on rock and fell, on pre- 

 cipices and scaurs, on earth-capt dikes, on trunks of aged trees, and 

 in wastes, that the botanist must seek for them in this state ; and 

 principally in the winter and early spring, when they are in most 

 perfection and luxuriance, and, from their neat elegance, solicit his 

 attention*. But many species fruit in summer, especially the bog 

 and aquatic mosses, the tufted Ortbotricha, and the Sphagna. Indeed 

 mosses are many of them to be found in fruit at all seasons ; and the
