Yorkshire Bryoiogical Committee. — Mr. W. Ing-ham, 

 who represents the Committee on the Executive, reports that 

 this vear has been very successful and very fruitf'.il of results to 

 Yorkshire Bryology, due to the happ)- selection of stations for 

 the Union's excursions, and to the fact that one member of the 

 committee has been privileg^ed to attend most of the meeting's. 

 Many new stations and new records for Sphag'na, Mosses and 

 Hepatics are the results of the 3^ear's work, the chief of which 

 are as follows : — By Mr. W. Strickland, Autifricliia curfi- 

 penditla in a peaty or fossilized condition, attached to the piles 

 of the ancient lake dwellings at Ulrome. Bv Mr. J. J. Marshall, 

 Tortula miitlca on bank of River Hull and the Hepatic 

 Fossonibronia cristnta, near Beverley. The above are additions 

 to the East Riding- List. By Mr. W. Ing-ham, Bryum lacusfre, 

 Hvpnimi gigaiifeiivi, and Hypnuvi falcatum at Driffield, all 

 additions to the E. Riding- List. Spluiguuin Cravetii Warnst., 

 near Saltersg-ate Beck, and on Baug-h Fell ; and S. parvifoliuni 

 Warnst., both additions to Yorkshire Sphag-na. The Hepatic, 

 Lepidozia Pcarsoui on Baug-h Fell, new to Yorkshire, and 

 Scapaiiid aspera, on Baug-h Fell, the latter having- been recorded 

 onlv from Bolton Woods by Carring-ton. Baug-h Fell has 

 proved rich ground for the Bryologist, and it is hoped to 

 publish a complete list shortly in the "Naturalist." The V^ale 

 of Pickering- for 5 miles south of Goathland has been well 

 worked for Sphagna. It is very rich in these plants, a list of 

 which will appear in the '• Naturalist." In this vale his son 

 found a mass of the interesting" moss, Splachmnn ampullaceiini
