MANCHESTER MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY.—In connection with 
this Society, the Bryological Section had its first ramble this season on Saturday, 
March 12th. On arriving at Crumpsall, the alterations in the aspect of the 
country by the opening of the new Bury line were soon noticed, and the 
presence of Tar-color works in the neighbourhood was painfully manifest. Pro- 
ceeding by the Middleton Road, the common Screw-moss 7Jortula muralis, and 
the Feather-moss Hypnum murale were found, and before leaving Heaton Park 
wall Palmella cruenta was discovered, adhering to the stones like patches of 
coagulated blood. The Cup-moss Lichen, and a species of C/ladonia were 
plentiful, and the Butter Burr Pefasztes vulgaris was also in flower. Search 
was made for the Red necked forked moss Dicranum cerviculatum, but only a 
few capsules—remains of last year’s fruit—were found. /unaria hygrometrica 
was however very plentiful. An interesting species of Jungermannia Lefidozia 
véptans was picked up before leaving Crab Lane. At the kind invitation of the 
leader, Mr. R. A. Bastow, several of the members adjourned to his home, and 
spent the rest of the evening in examining and mounting the gathered specimens. 
The second ordinary meeting was held in the Lecture Hall of the Mechanics’
