DOP, CRYPTOGAMIC FLORA OF WARWICKSHIRE. 
This list will include the Musci, Hepatic, Lichens, and Fungi. The 
Alge I shall leave for a more competent botanist. 
The following is a list of the books used in this compilation, with the 
abbreviations employed in these papers :— 
Purt.—‘ A Midland Flora,” 2 vols.,1817. T. Purton. 
Purt.—‘ An Appendix to the Midland Flora,” in two parts, 
1821. T. Purton. 
HK. F.—‘‘ The English Flora,” Vol. V., Part Il. Rey. M. J. 
Berkeley, M.A., F.L.S. 
MUSCI. 
The classification adopted is that of ‘The London Catalogue of 
British Mosses,” by C. P. Hobkirk and H. Boswell, 1877, a classification 
which in my opinion has the merit of being a very natural one, and 
which will probably be adopted by the majority of working botanists. 
In the following list I have only quoted the synonyms of the ‘‘Midland 
Flora,” and the three works on British mosses most generally in use in 
this country, which are indicated as under, 
Wils.—Wilson—* Bryologia Britannica,” 1855. 
Berk.—Berkeley— Handbook of British Mosses,” 1863. 
Hobk.—Hobkirk—“ Synopsis of British Mosses,” 1873.
