Scapania hig-her up the stream ; so fine, in fact, that I g-athered 

 it for the common Scapania nndnlata L. 



The other mosses of this beck are : — Diclwdontinni pellucidum 

 Schimp. ; Fissidens decipiens DeNot., handed down to me by 

 Mr. Morris from the upper rocks, and also found by myself on 

 the lower rocks ; Barbula cylindrica Schimp., and another 

 specimen, found in fruit (which is rare), by Mr. Pickard ; B. 

 rigidula xMitt.; B. tophacea Mitt., found by Mr. Pickard; B. 

 Spadicea Mitt.; Torfula snbiilata Hedw. ; T. intermedia Berk.; 

 Fissidens adiontoides Hedw., at the mouth of the cave ; Weisia 

 verticiilata Brid. ; Grimmia apocarpa Hedw.; G. apocarpa var. 

 pumila Schimp. (teste H. N. Dixon) ; G. apocarpa var. gracilis 

 W.&M. and another slender form ; Tric/iostomii m 7nu iabile ^ruch . , 

 very near var. littorale Dixon (teste H. N. Dixon) ; T. tortiiosum 

 Dixon ; Porotriclium alopecurum Mitt. ; Mniiim rostratuni Schrad. ; 

 Anomodon vitictilosus H.&T. ; Bryiun pseudo-triquetrum Schwgr., 

 in large, deep masses near the cave ; Neckera crispa Hedw. ; 

 Mnium piinctatum L. ; EurliyncJiium Sivartzii Hobk., a small 

 yellow form; E. piliferum B.&S.; E. striatum B.&S.; Atnbly- 

 stegijim filicinum DeNot.; Hyp?itim commiitatum Hedw.; H. 

 molluscum Hedw.; H. pal list re L. 



The hepatics of this beck, in addition to the Scapania aspera 

 above, are Jiingermatiia riparia Tayl. ; Porella pLatyphvlla L. ; 

 Plagiochila asplenioides L. ; Jnngermania ventricosa Dicks. ; 

 Metsgeria pnbescens Schrank. ; and Conocephalus coniciis L. 



Crossing- over to Dove Cote Cave, we found the large stones 

 at the exit covered with vivid green masses of Brachythecinm 

 riitabiiliim B.&S. Lower down, the side of Danny Bridge is 

 covered with masses of Hypniim molluscum Hedw., in fruit. 



Along' the Cloug'h River was found an interesting moss, 

 Swartsia montana var. compacta (Hueben), teste H. N. Dixon ; 

 exactly like the figure in Braithwaite's ' British Moss Flora,' 

 and recorded in that book from Ben Lawers. Other mosses 

 by this river are : -Trichostomum tortuosiim Dixon ; Barbula 

 cylindrica Schimp.; and Weisia rupestris var. compacta Schimp. 



This completes the mosses and hepatics found in this short 

 tour of two days. The moss and hepatic flora of Baugh Fell 

 is undoubtedly interesting, quite as much so to the bryologist, 

 as the wonderful rock formation is to the geologist. 



The moss, Weisia rupestris, rock-loving, as the specific name 

 denotes, is the characteristic moss of these becks, occurring in 

 almost every nook of the rocks, and invariably fruiting. 



The hepatic, Jungerniania riparia, is the characteristic one 

 of this beautiful order of plants. These becks are richer in 

 these two than even Teesdale and Weardale.
