Mosses AND HeEpatTics.—Mr. C. A. Cheetham reports :— 
A start was made on the wet shales opposite the Abbey, and 
here Webera carnea was seen fruiting. With it were Bryum 
pallens (also in, fruit), Barbula spadicea, Dicranella varia, 
Barbula cylindrica, and the hepatic Lunularia cruciata which 
seems too much at home in all parts of Yorkshire to be deemed 
an escape from hothouses. The rocks in the river bed are 
well covered with Cinclidotus fontinaloides, Grimmia apocarpa 
rar. vivularis, Amblystegium fluviatile and the rare Fissidens 
vufulus, long known from this station. Going upstream on a 
sandy path Pleuridium  subulatum was seen and on shaley 
sandstones Webera proligera. At a swampy corner, the grit 
boulders were covered with Dicranum scoparium, Mnium 
hornum and Rhacomitrium fasciculare, the shady sides of these 
rocks having delicate growths of Heterocladium heteropterum 
in plenty ; in the more swampy spots Mnium affine var. elatum 
was very fine. Next the woods were entered, with their 
carpet of Dicranum majus, D. fuscescens var. falcifolium, 
Mnium hornum, Polytrichum formosum, Eurhynchium striatum 
and many others. In Posforth Gill the clayey banks had 
Pterogophyllum lucens fruiting, and two woodland mosses had 
made themselves very much at home on the stream sides and 
boulders, viz., M. hornum and Catharinea undulata, in this 
station the latter has wider and shorter leaves than usual and 
somewhat approaches the more usual Catharinea crispa of the 
stream side, 
On the river side above the Strid the low cliffs had Swartzia
