Natural History of Sawley and Eavestone. 235 
move being made to the high rhododendron clad slopes over- 
looking the first of the Wellingtonias. There again came hope 
without realization, for on the rotting tree trunks and old fern 
roots plants like P. latebricola and Dic. strictum were expected 
but the only Plagiothecium beyond those previously mentioned 
was elegans and its var. collinum. 
To look at the valley as a whole, the principal mosses are : 
Mnium hornum, Dicranium majus, D. scoparium, D. fuscescens, 
Campylopus flexuosus, C. pyriformis, Dicranoweisia cirrhata, 
Tetraphis pellucida, Dicranella heteromalla and Leucobryum 
glaucum. Were these to be removed it would leave a wilderness 
as far as mosses are concerned. 
Below the Gill on gritstone walls in the open, Grimmia 
trichophylla was seen fruiting with one or two Othotricha and 
Ptychonutrium polyphyllum, etc. Mull Gill had to be passed 
through unsearched. 
The whole district of Sawley is not included in this walk 
nor are its resources exhausted ; the Skell valley has many good 
things, Fontinalis squamosa, Catharinea crispa, Weisia tenurs, 
Seligeria recurvata, Leptodontium flexifolium, etc. Then at 
Eavestone Lakes, Orthodontium gracile occurs and in the High 
Moor plantations, Dicranum strictum and Ditrichum homo- 
mallum. 
A definite gritstone area such as this will repay more detailed 
work, and we propose to give it careful study. The following 
seem to be new drainage records for the West Riding Flora :— 
Catharinea crispa (Atrichum). Physcomitrium pyriforme. 
Polytvichum urvnigerum (P. subro-  Orthodontium gracile (Stableria). 
tundum) (Pogonatum). Weberva annotina (Pohlia). 
Ditrichum homomallum. W. proligera (Pohlia). 
Dicranella vufescens (Anisothectum). W.carnea(Pohlia). 
Campylopus flexuosus. Mnium stellare. 
C. fragilis. Fontinalis squamosa. 
Leucobryum glaucum. Heterocladium heteropterum. 
Grimmia trichophylla. Brachythectum albicans (Hypnum). 
Rhacomitrium fasciculave(Grimmia)  B. plumosum (Hypnumy) (HH. pseud- 
R. heterostichum (Grimmia). oplumosum). 
R. canescens (Grimmia). Eurhynchium piliferum (Hvpnum). 
Pottia truncatula. E. cvassinervium (Hypnum). 
Zygodon viridissimus. E. Swartz (Hypnum). 
Orthotvichum cupulatum. Plagiothectum silvaticum ( Hypnum) 
O. affine. Hypnum uncinatum (Amblystegium 
O. diaphanum. aduncum). 
H. stramineum (Amblystegium). 
Funci1.—Mr. A. E. Peck writes:—Mr. M. Malone and I 
represented the Mycological Committee. Species peculiar to 
springtime were not met with, the chief finds being parasitic 
fungi of last year’s growth, these occurring on their usual 
hosts. The woodlands of the district are very attractive and 
no doubt an autumnal visit would produce much of interest 
to the Mycologist. The following are the species noted :—
