Botany. — A special report on the Botanical features of 

 the area is being prepared bv Drs. Smith and Woodhead, 

 which will probably appear in our next issue. 



Mosses and Hepatics. — Mr. W. Ingham writes : — The 

 whole district is very rich in these plants, and there have been 

 many competent workers who have recorded a long list of 

 rarities. The following notes refer to those plants of interest 

 met with at this excursion : — 



I. HuDESHOPE Beck (Skears Beck). — The stones, walls 

 and trees in the valley traversed by this beck are richly co\'ered 

 with mosses and lichens, indicating a copious annual rainfall, 

 and an atmosphere free from smoke. In addition to the very 

 common mosses that were dominant here, the following may 

 be mentioned : — Camptotheciiim lutescens and Eurhyncliium 

 striatum, both large forms and of a golden colour ; Orthotrichnm 

 stramineum and 0. anomalum var. saxatile.; Barbula rigidida 

 and B. fallax var. brevi folia, both in fruit, the latter being rare 

 in that state ; Tortida intermedia ; Amblystegium filicinum, 

 very small and near var. trichodes ; and Hypnnm uncinatnm 

 var. plumtdosum. 



II. High Force to Cauldron Snout. — At the High Force, 

 the beautiful glossy Webera cruda and a large and interesting 

 state of Hypnum cuspidatum var. pungens were obser^•ed. 



Between Cronkley Scars and the River Tees were Sphagnum 

 subnitens var. obscurum c. fr., 5. acutifoliiim var. versicolor, 

 S. rubellum var. flavum, S. inundatum and S. cuspidatum var. 

 submersum. Here also was the Harpidioid Moss, H. flnitans var. 

 Jeanbernati. Tetraplodon mnioides and Splachnum sphaericiim 

 were on this ground, and both in young fruit.
