96 THE DISTRIBUTION OF HEPATIC IN SCOTLAND 
GYMNOMITRIUM CRENULATUM Gottsche 
Almost confined to the west side of the country, where 
it is frequently common. In the West Lowlands it is 
found in some quantity on the Kells Hills in Kirkcudbright, 
descending to 1000 ft. alt. It has not been found in the 
East Lowlands. In the East Highlands it is very rare 
except near the western boundary. It has been found in 
one or two localities in Forfar and Aberdeen, but not in 
North Perth, and is very rare on the Breadalbane range. 
It is common in the West Highlands and in the hilly 
districts of the Hebrides. On the west coast it descends to 
sea-level in a few localities, and is rather frequently seen 
at an altitude of about 200 ft., but is generally uncommon 
below 700-900 ft. alt. It does not usually occur below 
1300-1400 ft. alt. when at any distance from the coast. 
It has not been recorded above 2500 ft. alt. It is un- 
common in the North Highlands and has not been found 
in Shetland. Fruit, which matures from June to August, 
is frequent and sometimes common.
