 Bryum conoideum, Dicks. 



Rare : on a beech-tree on Newtimber Hill, and more plentifully on 

 Sallows by the ^lill Pond at Arundel. Mr. Borrer has gathered it 

 in Charlton Forest, and Mr. Jenner in the Forest near Handcross. 



Great as the confusion has been in the names of this and the next 

 species, still it appears that the name conoideus is the proper one for 

 this moss, it being the Bryum conoideum of Dickson ; but if the name 

 given to it by its discoverer is to be suppressed, it ought to take that 

 of Z. Dicksoni rather than any other. 



The peristome of this species is double, as described by Hooker and 

 Taylor ; not simple, as it is described and figured in ' Bryol. Europ.'
