260 BOTANY OF CUMBERLAND. 



— some of which are found inhabiting almost every rood of un- 

 disturbed ground from the verge of the ocean, to the storm-beaten 

 summits of the highest mountains. And last, not least, very 

 considerable patience is necessary to duly investigate and decipher 

 the microscopic stamp of family, so minutely but distinctly im- 

 pressed upon every specific member of the whole tribe of both 

 mosses and lichens ; and a great many are too small to be accu- 

 rately determined by the naked eye. But to the enthusiast in 

 botany, the pleasing excitement of the pursuit, and the gratifi- 

 cation of the capture, well reward the fatigues of the search. 



The subjoined list follows the order and nomenclature of Mac- 

 gillivray's hand-book, to save the time required to adapt it to the 

 more recent alterations.
