The Sphag. acutifolium, fimbeiatum, cuspidatum, and squareosum, were found 

 fruiting on Eainford Moss, in July, 1855, after these sheets had gone to press. — 

 Rev. H. fl. Higgim. 



The Kev. Mr. Higgins's name has been omitted in the prefatorj^ 

 note that I might here, whilst acknowledging his aid, give a brief 

 account of his Bryarium, — which is a Ward's case, kept in the 

 reverend gentleman's garden at Kainhill. 



About 100 species of Musci, most of which have been collected in 

 this neighbourhood, are grown in it, and are flourishing beautifully. 

 The case contains several rarities, some of which would have been lost 

 to our Flora, but for the better development which has attended their 

 careful growth, and enabled the botanist to recognise their specific 

 characters. One of the principal advantages resulting from this mode 

 of treatment is the facility presented of examining the iufloresence in 

 its several stages. From another point of view the Bryarium is highly 

 interesting, for so curious are the forms and so varied the shades of 

 colour of these minute plants, that the cultivator is rewarded in 

 stuilying these peculiarities, common in fact to the entire vegetable 

 Idngdom, but apt to be overlooked in objects so small.
