B. and S. (East Linton); Plagiothecium pulchellum B. and 

 S. (Traprain Law) ; Amblystegium serpens B. and S., var. 

 salinum Carr. (Gullane Links) ; Hypnum elodes Spruce ; 

 H. aduncum Hedw., var. patermim Sanio (all Gullane 

 Links) ; H. Sendtneri Schp. (Gullane Links). Regarding 

 this moss Mr. J. A. Wheldon, F.L.S., Liverpool, writes me : 

 " Your plant is typical H. Sendtneri Schp. It is new to 

 Haddingtonshire, and as a matter of fact it is the first 

 specimen I have seen from Scotland, although recorded 

 from v.c.'s 86 and 87. I have for years been trying to 

 get a specimen of the inland plant, but without success so 

 far." It grows in a shallow lagoon on Gullane Links, and 

 covers the whole bottom with a mass of several acres ex- 

 clusively of this moss. S. fluitans L. ; H. cupressiforme 

 L., var. filiforme Brid. ; H. Patientice Lindb. 



Traprain Law, East Linton, has several very interesting 

 mosses such as Hedivigia imberbis Spruce ; Grimmia 

 montana B. and S. ; Grimmia decipiens Lindb., all three 

 in great abundance, the latter in fruit; And/recea Rothii 

 W. and M. ; Bryv/m alpin/u/m Huds. Gullane Links also, 

 like Tents Muir, Sands of Barrie, Dunbarnie Links, etc., 

 have several rare mosses already recorded as Ditrichum 

 flexicaule Hpe., var. densum B. and S. ; Swartzia montana 

 Lindb., and 8. inclinata Ehrh.; Barbvla Hornschuchiana 

 Schultz ; Trichostomum flavo-virens Bruch; Encalypta 

 rhabdoca/rpa Schwasg. ; Amblyodon dealbatus P Beauv. ; 

 Meesia trichoides Spruce; Catobscopium nigritwm Brid.; 

 Bryv/m calophyttum R. Br. ; Amblystegium filicinum De 

 Not., var. Wkiteheadii Wheldon; Hypnum chrysophyttum 

 Brid.; H. giganteum Schp., Thuidium recognitum Lindb., 

 etc. 



Edinburgh, v.c. 83. This vice-county has been better 

 searched for mosses than the two adjoining counties, and 

 hence the new records for it are fewer. Sphagnum cuspi- 

 datunt Ehrh. var. submersum Schp.; S. molle Sull. ; 

 Polytrichum strictum Banks (all from Bavelaw Moss); 

 OligotricJium hercynicum Lam., recently got in Corstorphine 

 Hill wood, is now extinct; Fissidens crassipes Wils. 

 (Colinton Dell) ; Barbida Hornschuchia/na Schultz (waste 

 ground north of Donaldson's Hospital); Phy scorn itrella 

 patens B. and S. (Torduff reservoir, by Mr. W. E. Evans.
