species were enumerated, and contained several new records 
for the vice-counties concerned. 
NoTES ON THE Mosses AND Hepatics. By L. J. Cocks. 
The hills investigated proved to be comparatively poor in 
mosses. Mam Soul in particular, on account of the dry 
nature of its surface, was disappointing, the scarcity of 
hygrophilous species being very noticeable. The most note- 
worthy plants obtained were as follows :— 
Polytrichwm sexangulare, Florke. Summit of Mam Soul (38800 
ft.). 
Campylopus Schimpert, Milde. Mam SoulandScournaLappaich. 
Dicranum Starkez, W. and M. = 
% molle, Wils. Scour na Lappaich. 
asperulum, Mitt. 93 
Grimmia Mithlenbeckvi, Schimp. Glen Affric. 
Aulacomnium turgidum, Schwaeg. Scour na Lappaich. 
The only Scottish localities from which this plant is already recorded 
are in Perthshire. 
Conostomum boreale, Swartz. Mam Soul. 
Philonotis adpressa, Ferg. 
Webera albicans, var. glacialis, 
Schimp. 
Hypnum hamuloswm.

In the hepaticee I am able to report better results. The 
total number of species collected is 35, of which 18 are 
new vice-county records, viz., 9 for v.-c. 96 (Easterness), 
and 9 for v.-c. 106 (East Ross). 
The best ground was undoubtedly the fine south-east 
corrie of Scour na Lappaich. The snow was still covering 
a large part of this, and I have little doubt that under other 
conditions and with longer time for investigation still better 
results might be obtained. 
I have submitted all the hepatics gathered to Mr. Symers 
M. Maevicar, and think the list as revised by him is of 
sufficient interest to be given in full, as, so far as I can 
find, no previous records from these localities exist.
