In the "Census Catalogue of British Mosses" for 1907 

 there are several mosses which require rediscovery, for their 

 records are old. For instance, the rare Grimmias on 

 Arthur's Seat have evidently disappeared. Grivunia 

 leucophcea Grev., is the last one of the group I have seen 

 on Arthur's Seat, and I suspect that now it too is extinct. 

 The following among others require refinding : — SpJiagmim 

 Austini Sull. (v.c. 83) ; Brymn Warneuin Bland, (v.c. 82) ; 

 Cryphoea heteromalla Mohr (v.c. 82) ; Hypnum eugyrium 

 Schp. (v.c. 83) ; Griitwiia orbicularis Bruch (v.c. 83) ; 

 G. anodon B, and S. (v.c. 83) ; G. conferta Funck (v.c. 83) ; 

 G. comnmtata Hiibn. (v.c. 83) ; G. ovata Schwaeg. (v.c.'s 82 

 and 83) ; Antitrichia curtipendida Brid. (v.c. 83), and several 

 others. Trichostomurn mutabile Bruch. ; T. inclinatiim 

 Dixon ; T. nitiduni Schp., have yet to be gathered in 

 v.c. 82.
