 Wood ; near Cumnor Hill. December. 



Hypnum ruscifolium. Stones, in water, occasionally. Nov., Dec. 



Hypnum confertum. Walls, and about trees ; not unfrequent. 

 Fruit, November, December. Variety with leaves secund, 

 like H. cupressiforme, at Shotover Plantations. 



Hypnum murale. Stones and stone walls ; Headington ; near 

 Joe Pullen's tree ; Eose Hill. November. 



Hypnum serpens. Trees, etc. ; common. April, May. 



Hypnum ripar'ium. Half-inundated trees by the Isis and Cher- 

 well. Fruit, April, May. A large, barren state is found 

 more frequently of the two, growing in wet meadows, etc. 



Hypnum stellatum. Bogs under Bullingdon. May. 



Hypnum chrysophyllum. Stone pit in Blenheim Park, with 

 Encalypta vulgaris. Barren. 



Hypnum cuspidatum. In fruit at Bullingdon, Bagley Wood, etc. ; 

 very common, barren. April, May. 



Hypnum Schreberi. North side of Shotover Hill; Bagley Wood. 

 No fruit. 



Hypnum pur um. Hedge-banks, etc. ; common. No fruit. 



*Hypnum abietinum is said by Dillenius to have grown on Hinck- 

 sey Hills, (" in collibus pone Hincksey,") but I have not 

 succeeded in finding it. 



Hypnum tamarisciiium. Woods, etc. ; common, barren. 



Hypnum splendens. Shotover Hill ; near Stow Wood, etc. ; Bag- 

 ley; Jenny Bunting's Parlour, etc. Barren. 



Hypnum triquetrum. Woods, abundant; fruit rare. Heading- 

 ton Wick; Grave- Hill Wood. December. 



Hypnum squarrosum. Banks, grassy places. Barren. 



* Hypnum fluitans, recorded by Sibthorp, is a doubtful species. 

 I have not seen fluitans of Bryol. Brit., and by H. aduncum 

 he perhaps refers to H. commutatum or H. condensatum. 



Hypnum filicinum. Fruit at Bullingdon; frequent in wet places 

 in a barren state, and variable in aspect. April, May. 



Hypnum commutatum. Bog under Headington-Wick Copse, 

 growing in a pit ; barren. It is probably this referred to 

 by Sibthorp as H. Crista-castrensis, some states of it bear; 

 a certain degree of resemblance to that species. The real 

 H. Crista-castrensis is a plant growing in alpine Fir forests, 

 not likely to occur here.
