latter easily known by its singular umbrella-like fruitstalks 

 and expansive thallus ; and others too numerous to mention. 



In the fields adjoining Mr. King's land, oil: Cambridge-road, 

 Kangaroo Point, Phaseum cylindricum ja&j be secured ; also 

 Ceratodon, Campylopus, IPunaria, Fissedens, Bartramia, Wiessia, 

 Grimmia, Tortula, Splachnum, Bryum, and several Hypnums ; 

 amongst the latter, II fulvastrum is one of the most beautiful : 

 grows in patches about six inches in diameter, and is usually 

 yellowish, changing to light green ; it is an elegant pinnately 

 branched moss, and makes exquisite dried specimens. At the 

 summit of Mount Rumney the •■Unca.lypta Australis will be 

 found, growing in rather distant small tufts : the singularly 

 large extinguisher-shaped calyptra will at once enable the 

 student to recognise it. Here also the interior angles of the 

 rocks are made beautiful by patches of Grimmia basaltica, 

 the bright rod peristomes of this neat plant are sure to attract 

 attention. I will only mention one other locality, but per- 

 haps it is the most favourable and fairest collecting-ground 

 near Hobart ; at St. Crispin's Well, near the source of the 

 Plains Rivulet, nearly every moss that has been previously 

 mentioned may bo collected, with the addition of many more 

 exquisite species.
