350 MOSSES AND HEPATICS FROM ISLE OF MAY.  [Szss, Lxxi. 
Physcomitrium pyriforme (1.), Brid.—A fruiting patch of 
this moss was found by my father in September 1879, and I 
gathered it again in September 1885. 
Webera nutans (Schreb.), Hedw.?—A Webera coming into 
fruit, April 1908, is probably this common species, but 
without fully formed capsules one cannot be quite certain. 
Brywm inclinatum (Sw.), Bland. ?—August 1904 ; “probably 
inclinatum, but impossible to say certainly in absence of 
fruit ” (Dixon, in lit.), On other occasions I have gathered 
a similar plant on the island, but always in the barren state. 
Bryum alpinum, Huds.—September 1885, a little, and 
15th June 1899; barren. On the latter occasion a pretty 
form, approaching var. viride in the colouring and the lax 
areolation, was growing in luxuriant cushions around a 
spring. 
Mnium hornum, L.—September 1885, July and September 
1897 and April 1908; small, as a rule, and barren. 
Brachythecium rutabulum (1), B. and S.—September 1885 
and April 1908: scarce and, like the other Hypnacee, 
barren. 
Brachythecium velutinum (1.), B. and S.—September 1885 
and August 1897, a little. 
Eurhynchium prelongum (L.), B. and 8S. (Hypnum 
prelongum of Rattray’s list)—September 1885 and July and 
August 1897, a small form; April 1908, more luxuriant and 
better developed. 
Eurhynchium myosuroides (L.), Schimp.—September 1885 
and April 1908; “a large form approaching my var. 
brachythecioides” (Dixon, in lit.). 
Hypnum cupressiforme, L.— September 1885 and April 
1908; all var. evicetorwm or near it. 
Hylocomium squarrosum (1.), B, and S.—September 1885, 
a very little. 
HEPATICS. 
Conocephalum conicum (L.), Dum,— Under the name of 
Fegatella conica this well-known liverwort was recorded 
from the island by Rattray in 1884, and I observed it there 
in September 1885; further, Mr. Ross has sent me an ample 
but barren specimen in April this year. 
Lophozia ventricosa (Dicks.), Dum.—There is a specimen
