species having been confused with P. Massalongi. Plag. 
Stableri and Anthos. Stableri are endemic species, so far 
as yet known. 
The following are common to England with Wales and 
Ireland : 
Ricciocarpus natans. Fossombronia czespitiformis. 
Aneura sinuata. Prionolobus Turneri. 
Pallavicinia Lyellii. Cephaloziella elachista. 
Petalophyllum Ralfsii. Madotheca Porella. 
Fossombronia angulosa. 
It will be noted that five of the above belong to the 
Atlantic-Mediterranean group. 
All the species which are usually confined to the low 
ground in Scotland have been found in England or Wales, 
but the following low-ground species have not been found 
in Ireland: 
Aneura incurvata. Lophozia cylindracea. 
Nardia minor. Prionolobus Massalongi. 
Jamesoniella autumnalis. Cephaloziella stellulifera. 
Lophozia badensis. C. myriantha. 
Some of these are small species which have probably 
been overlooked. 
The hepatic flora of the Faroes may be considered 
as a poor edition of that of Scotland. The species, as 
here reckoned, only amount to 98, and they all occur 
and in greater quantity in Scotland, with the exception 
of one very distinct species, Frullania Jackvi, which 
is also found in Norway and may occur in Scotland, 
and of the following: Scapania geniculata, which Jensen, 
in his account of the Hepatic of the islands, remarks is 
perhaps only an extreme form of S. rosacea; and Radula 
commutata, a badly understood plant which is perhaps 
included in our R. Lindbergii. On the other hand, the 
Faroes have five distinct species in common with Scotland 
which have not been found in Norway or elsewhere on the 
Continent, viz. Metzgeria hamata, Jumesoniella Carring- 
toni, Mastigophora Woodsii, Cololejewnea microscopica, 
and Frullania germana, all these being Atlantic species, 
three of them being large and easily observed. Norway 
has upwards of twenty arctic-alpine species which have
