The Mosses of Campsie Glen: A contribution towards 
a List of Mosses of the West of Scotland.

Tr has long been known to bryologists that Campsie Glen possessed 
a rich moss-flora, but it does not appear that any detailed list has 
hitherto been published. In the absence of such, it occurred to 
us that it would be interesting and useful to students in this 
department of Cryptogamic Botany, if a list could be prepared. 
Having this aim in view, we have, in company, made a number of 
visits to the Glen, and the following list gives the results of our 
observations. There are here enumerated 115 species and 2 
varieties, belonging to 47 genera. Extensive as this list may seem 
for a lowland glen (the more especially when it is stated that the 
area investigated embraced that part of the Glen only from the 
entrance behind the hotel to where the burn is crossed by the 
road to Fintry, a distance of not more than a mile and a half, and 
when it is remembered that the Sphagnums are not included), still 
it is not pretended that it is exhaustive ; on the contrary, we feel 
sure that a more careful search would be rewarded by the addition 
of a number of species.
