370 Yorkshire Xatnralists at Boives. 



2. GiLMANSCAR Cliffs. — The most interesting- moss here is 

 Encalypta rhabdocarpn Schwgr. , which I found growing- on 

 carbonaceous shale on the Friday, and on the cHflFs facing the 

 Greta. On the next day Mr. Slater and Dr. Braithwaite found 

 the same moss in a quarry on the opposite side of the cliffs. 

 Both gatherings were in fruit. Another moss, new to North 

 Yorkshire is Weisia crispata CM., which is dominant on the 

 shale. I have found this rare moss in Weardale and in the 

 Jackdaw Crag Quarry, Tadcaster. Other mosses of the cliffs 

 are Barbida rubella Mitt., B. revolnta Brid., Tortula intermedia
