and it is possible that other members of the sub-erect group may occur. One of 

 them, probably R. fis$^ls, is occasionally found in the Forest with double blossoms, 

 resembling small roses, in which state it is very showy. E. nmhrosus also abounds 

 here, and the local R. Borreri. The ground in these plantations is carpeted in 

 spots with the beautiful PoJytricha, the most beautiful among which, P. formosvm, 

 with its fawn-coloured seta and hght yellow calyptra was, at the time of our visit, 

 in perfection. Two Campylopi also were found in plenty ; one of which, probably 

 Campylopus pyriformis, was fruiting abundantly. Wcbera nutans var. bicolor was 

 also in abundant and beautiful fruit. 



On a wall-top, descending to Mitcheldean, a quantity of the curious 

 Extinguisher-moss, Encalypta vulgaris, was found, and growing with it the local 

 little Oymnostomum microstomum. At dinner the very local fern Moonwort, 

 Botrychium Lunaria, was exhibited, which had been obtained by Dr. Serancke 

 from the neighbourhood of Ruardean.
