48 THE SCOTTISH BOTANICAL REVIEW 
Fissidens incurvus Starke, from Kyleakin, Skye.— At the 
January meeting of the Botanical Society a specimen of this moss in 
most beautiful fruit was exhibited, sent by Mr. Gerald S. Hoole. 
Although the moss is not a very rare one, it is seldom that it is seen 
in as fine fruiting condition as this specimen. 
Leucobryum pumilum (Michx.) in Britain. I am glad to be able 
to record that this moss has at last been found in Britain, near 
Gairloch, Ross-shire. A more detailed notice will appear in the 
next number of the Review. JAMES STIRTON. 
Notes from Current Literature. 
‘Botanical Divisions of the British Isles” (‘‘ Journal of Botany,” 
November 1911, p. 338).—In this Dr. Moss gives the outlines of 
the new divisions which it has been thought fit to adopt for the new 
‘‘Cambridge British Flora.” It will be found, amongst other changes, 
that Clackmannanshire is now merged with Stirlingshire—not with 
part of Perthshire, as was the case in the Watsonian arrangement. 
Kinross-shire merges with Fifeshire; and Nairnshire with Elginshire, 
not with Inverness-shire. The numbers also of the Irish divisions 
are made to follow consecutively on the British numbers, thus 
departing from Mr. Praeger’s method. 
We must confess that as the new divisions, to quote Dr. Moss, 
“follow, in nearly all cases, ordinary British counties,” we fail to 
see that any good purpose is served by the change. Until some 
true natural arrangement can be arrived at, it is only causing 
confusion, and making the consultations of old records more difficult 
by adding another artificial or parochial scheme to those already 
in use. 
Mimulus moschatus, L., in Aberdeenshire (“Journal of Botany,” 
December 1911, p. 370).—Mr. Wm. Wilson records this from the 
Wood of Houghton, Alford. 
‘‘Some New Forms of Hieracia,” by Rev. E. F. Linton, M.A. 
(“ Journal of Botany,” December 1911, p. 353).—Several new species 
and varieties described. 
“‘ Mycological Notes,” by W. B. Grove, M.A. (“‘ Journal of Botany,” 
December 1911, p. 367), gives notes on Uromyces flectens, Lagerheim ; 
U. Loti, Blytt; U. ambiguus, Lev.; U. Litt (Link.), Fckl., and 
Dothidella Betule-nane (Karst).
