Descriptions of the species found in this country are appended. 
Several of the new species found by the brothers Crouan around Brest 
were detected in this country last autumn by Mr. C. E. Broome, speci- 
mens of which have been added by him to the herbarium of the British 
Museum. It is not improbable that others may yet be met with in 
parts of the country beyond the range of Mr. Broome's excursions.
