A HISTORY OF BERKSHIRE 



THE MOSSES (Musci) 



The moss flora of Berkshire is but imperfectly known except for 

 that portion included in the Ock and Isis district, which have been 

 investigated by my lamented friend the well known bryologist Mr. 

 Henry Boswell, and a detailed list of the species observed is given in 

 my Flora of Oxfordshire. In our neighbourhood Bagley Wood was 

 also investigated by Mr. W. Baxter, and this wood is especially rich in 

 species, while Mr. H. E. Garnsey of Magdalen College has also inves- 

 tigated the bryology of this neighbourhood.
