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. Grimmia 

 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 : — Sphagnum 

 Austini Sull. (v.c. 83); Bryum Warneum Bland, (v.c. 82); 

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

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

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

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