 Section I. MLJSCI (Mosses).; 



The Mosses have only been partially worked out~in~thejdistrict 

 but it is hoped that the publication of these lists will give an impulse 

 to the study of this interesting group of plants. The majority of 

 the records are taken from various papers by E. M. Holmes, 

 F.L.S., published from time to time in the Journal of Botany 

 during the years 1877 and 1901. The classification and nomenclature 

 are those of the second edition of the Students' Handbook of 

 British Mosses, by Dixon and Jameson, published in 1904, an 

 indispensable guide to the student of the Moss Flora. The following 

 initials and abbreviations are used : 



H. = E. M. Holmes, F.L.S., of Sevenoaks. 

 C. = E. J. Cocks, of Bromley Hill. 

 G. = The late Edward George, of Forest Hill. 

 T.H. = T. Howse, F.L.S. 

 \V.R.S. = W. R. Sherrin. 



J.S. = The Right Hon. Justice Stirling. 

 J.F.B. = J F. Bevis, B.A., B.Sc. 

 L.C.C. = L.C.C. Botany Department, Avery Hill. 



Viet. Hist. = Victorian History of Kent, now in course of publication, 

 fr. = fruiting. 



The numbers refer to the period of fruiting ; the dates refer to 

 the date of publication of the records. Our thanks are due to 

 Mr. E. M. Holmes for permission to use the records relating to this 

 part of Kent, which he has prepared for the Victorian History of 

 Kent. Though so many of the records are old, it is hoped that 

 they will indicate the range and frequency of the species, and so 

 be of service to future workers.
