Yorkshire Naturalists at Sedbert^Ji. 347 



(2) very large flowers ; (3) tall stem, branched below (4) stem 

 and leaves clothed with a mixture of white bristles and long 

 glandular wavy hairs. In ' The Naturalist,' July 1909, I 

 recorded this same Eyebright from near Warthill Station, five 

 miles from York. 



Mosses. The programme for the excursion gave a good list 

 of mosses found in the Sedbergh district, and in the following 

 notes I propose, with one or two exceptions, to mention 

 additions to those mentioned in the circular. 



The most interesting moss found was Campylopus atrovirens 

 var. gracilis Dixon, growing almost buried in mud by the side 

 of one of the waterfalls in the upper part of Cautley Spout. 

 It was first described as a new variety by Mr. Dixon in the 

 ' Journal of Botany,' 1902, page 374. Its distribution is 

 Merioneth, Carnarvon, Cumberland (Lake District), Forfar, 

 and North Ebudes (Skye), etc. Its occurrence at Cautley Spout 

 makes an addition to the Yorkshire Moss Flora. It is quite 

 distinct from the type in being green above, and brown below ; 

 the type being black below, and in its very long and very narrow 

 leaves with its very narrow, long, toothed, hyaline leaf points. 

 This moss is additional evidence of the Lake District character 

 of the Flora of Cautley Spout. The moss Breutelia arciiata 

 grows in the same site. 



Rhabdoiveisia denticiilata. specimens of which I have lately 

 received from Mr. C. A. Cheetham and Mr. Albert Wilson from 

 Cautley Spout, I was pleased to locate on the face of vertical 

 rocks near one of the upper falls. The beautiful Plagiohryum 

 Zierii was growing close by, and Grimmia apocarpa var. gracilis. 



The three Andreaeas mentioned by Mr. Cheetham in the 

 circular were all found on the same rock, and A. alpina in fruit. 

 The .4. petrophila is the var. flaccida (teste H. N. Dixon). 



Zygodon Moiigeotii was plentiful at the Spout. Rhacomi- 

 tritim fasciculare, R. heterostichum (a broad-leaved form). 

 Ptychomitriiim polyphylliim, and Plagiothecium dcnticulatum 

 var. majiis were other mosses there. 



On the side of the Spout and near the three Lycopodiiims 

 was Campylopus flexuosiis. Sphagnum papillosum var. con- 

 fertum in huge bosses was the only Peat Moss seen there. A 

 large form of Brachythecium plumosiim with very long leaf 

 points grows on the rocks near the water. 



Hepatics of Cautley Spout. 



Preissia commutata in fruit was on the rock ledges.
