SOME MOSSES NEW TO THE WEST RIDING, ETC. 
C. A. CHEETHAM, 
Old Farnley. 
DuRInG the last few months, Mr. F. Haxby and I have paid 
several visits to Inglebro’, to examine the less frequented parts 
of the mountain, and have been amply repaid by the discovery 
of quite a distinct set of mosses, such as one associates with 
the Lake District mountains where the rocks are of an older 
type, with less sandstones, and more quartzite and volcanic 
rocks. No doubt the situation has a good deal to do with the 
question, for in this particular spot the rocks face north-west 
to north, and the spores will be more often deposited here from 
the hills above Cautley and from the Cumberland mountains. 
The following is a list showing the type of mosses :— 
Andreea alpina Smith. Grimmia torquata Hornsch. 
Diphyscium foliosum var. acutifoli- Anectangium compactum Schwaeg. 
um Lindb. Zygodon lapponicus B. & S. 
Campylopus atrovirens De Not. Tetraplodon mnioides B. & S. 
Fissidens osmundoides Hedw. Webera elongata Schwaeg. 
And the Hepatic— Anthelia julacea. 
This list might be very considerably enlarged by the in- 
clusion of other species equally well-known on other parts of 
Inglebro’ and the higher mountains. 
Andreea alpina Smith was only doubtfully recorded for 
Inglebro’ previously. It occurs in fair quantity and good 
growth. 
The Diphyscium variety is new to Inglebro’, its only other 
habitat in West Yorkshire is at Cautley Spout. 
Campylopus atrovirens grows on the older rocks in the 
Ingleton Gylls below, but we had not seen it previously on the 
sandstones up the hill. 
Fissidens osmundoides has only been reported from Cautley 
previously. 
Grimmia torquata is not typical. I thought at first it 
was G. funalis, and I fancy that it is the G. funalis reported by 
B. Carrington from Inglebro’. Mr. A. Wilson and Mr. W. E. 
Nicholson both agree that it is G. torquata, and this is an addi- 
tional species to West Yorkshire. 
Anectangium compactum. There are some fine patches 
of this moss. Other West Yorkshire records are Whernside 
and Rawtheydale. This is new to Inglebro’. 
Zygodon lapponicus. This is very scarce, and in small 
patches, it is quite new to Yorkshire, not having been seen 
even in Upper Teesdale, the happy hunting-ground for York- 
shire alpines. 
Tetraplodon mmiotdes 1 had only seen once before on 
Inglebro’.
