VOL. xviii. (3) THE MOSSES OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE 273 



Barbula Nicholsoni Culmann. 34. On rocks by R. Wye 

 at Symonds Yat and below Lydbrook. 



Barbula cylindrica Schp. 33, 34. Common, but seldom 

 in fruit. Symonds Yat c.fr. (Ley) ; Staunton c.fr. 



Barbula vinealis Brid. 33, 34. On walls particularly in 

 the neighbourhood of towns and villages, common, but fruit 

 rare. Cheltenham c.fr ; Wainlode c.fr. Sometimes forms 

 occur which are not easy to distinguish from the last species. 



Barbula sinuosa Braithw. 33, 34. On rocks and walls 

 and sometimes at the base of trees. Found in all parts of the 

 County, and common on the Cotteswolds. 



Barbula gracilis Schwaeg. 33, 34. On the calcareous sand 

 by road sides ; widely distributed on the Cotteswolds, and 

 nearly always mixed with B. fallax. Durdham Downs 

 (Thwaites). Always barren. 



Barbula Hornschuchiana Schultz. 33, 34. On bare ground 

 and tops of walls ; common on the Cotteswolds, and also in 

 limestone districts in other parts of the County. The fruit, 

 which is rare, has been found in many parts of the county. 



Barbula revoluta Brid. 33, 34. Common on walls, rocks, 

 etc. ; fruit not uncommon. 



Barbula convoluta Hedw. 33, 34. Common ; also var. 

 Sardoa B. and S. (33, 34), a form with larger leaves and usually 

 barren. 



Barbula unguiculata Hedw. 33, 34. Common every- 

 where. 



Leptodontium flexifolium Hampe. 34. A rare moss 

 found only in the Forest of Dean. Near Symonds Yat (Miss 

 Armitage and Binstead). Abundant on Staunton Meend c.fr. ; 

 Rodmore Grove. Mr Beach has this on his Cheltenham list — 

 probably an error. 



Weisia crispa Mitt. 33, 34. Widely distributed on the 

 Cotteswolds ; also on St. Vincent's Rocks at Clifton, and on a 

 wall at Tidenham. At the last place it was growing with 

 W . crispata, and there were some hybrid capsules W. crispata 

 9 X W. crispa $. Var. aciculata Braithw. (33, 34). Spar- 

 ingly on the hills near Cheltenham, and formerly abundant 

 on the new railway from Cheltenham to Winchcomb, but now 

 decreasing with the growth of other vegetation. Also in a 

 field at Tidenham, near Chepstow.
