 find this moss abundant on the Permian sandstone, near Ham- 

 stead, I think it probable that it may be also found in like places

 This plant was a new addition to the British moss flora when I 

 first found it in 1870, and was abundant in Lower Nuthurst. The 

 tree on which it grew has since been felled, and it is now only 

 sparingly represented. Figm-ed and described by Dr. Braithwaite,
