 fairly abundant ; unfortunately the next year the bridge was 

 partly pulled down for repairs, and nearly the whole of this moss 

 was thereby exterminated. I was pleased to notice in 1876 that it 

 had begun to make headway again. I believe this is at present 

 the only British station. It is ably described by Dr. Braithwaite,
