298. List of Jiingermannioi S^c. found near Penzince. 1 send for 

 insertion in ' The Phytologist,' a list of Hepaticae found in the neigli- 

 bourhood of Penzance. Some of the Jungennanniic may be consi- 

 dered amongst the scarcest and most interesting of our British species, 

 and I believe we need not fear comparison with any district of the 

 same extent in the kingdom. With about foiu* exceptions, all the 

 plants enumerated in the following list may be gathered within three 

 miles of Penzance, and but one species is entirely barren. 



Riccia glauca. Wheat-stubbles, Bologas Jungermannia as-plenioides. Chyune, witli 



anthers. 



- punctata. Giilval, with calyces ;
