212 BARNES: MOSSES OF YORKSHIRE AND DURHAM. 



its moss-flora have been notified.' As will be seen from this list^ 

 the district yields a fair and adequate number of the rare and less 

 common species, certain of which are new records for North York- 

 shire, and some few for the county generally. In a few instances 

 I have given records of some of the commoner species found in a 

 state of fructification, but, of course, only those rarely met with in 

 that condition ; and in others, records of those of a montane 

 character, easily recognised as having descended far from their usual 

 habitats. 



The subjoined list is offered to the readers of ' The Naturalist ' 

 rather as containing the additional localities cited, together with 

 the new records already referred to, than as pretending to actual 

 completeness. 



Except when fully indicated, each locality is marked with the initial 

 letter of its respective district — D. (Durham portion of Teesdale), 

 T. (Teesdale — Yorkshire portion \ S. (Swaledale), C. (Cleveland). 



Those species marked with one asterisk are, to the best of my 

 knowledge, new to North Yorkshire ; and those with two, to York- 

 shire generally. 



My sincere thanks are hereby tendered to Dr. Braithwaite, F.L.S., 

 for his kindness in examining and verifying, and in some cases even 

 in determining, the species contained in this list. Without his help 

 it would not have been prepared.
