Hab. on wet rocks in mountains. Ingleborough, Yorkshire (Careing- 

 TON in G. and E. Hep. Eur. 172, subnom. Jung, inflata). Ghjders, North 

 Wales (E. M. Holmes, 1876). '> Swiss Alps, Canton of Uri (Hepp in G. 

 and E. Hep. Eur. 137, subnom. " Sarcosci/phus sphacelatus''=^Cephnlozia 

 turgida Caer. MSS.). 



I owe to Dr. Carrington the suggestion that the Swiss plant last cited is the same 

 as G. lieterostipa. It is noted by him in 'British Hepaticae' p. 13, in these words : 

 "No. 135 [a misprint for 137] in my copy of G. and Rab. is not Nardia sphacelata hut 

 some undescribed species, allied to Cephalozia catenulata Dum. ( G. turgida MSS.".) 

 I have examined the specimen here alluded to, and find it remote enough from G. 

 catenulata, but probably a small dark coloured form of C. heterostipa. As it is the 

 male plant, of which I have not yet seen British specimens, I append a brief de- 

 scription of it. When the fertile plant is found we may be able to decide the question 

 of its identity with G. heterostipa.*

* In Mr. Stabler's copy of G. and R. Hep. Eur., No. 135 is really in great part a 5ms.WSarc0scyp.hus 

 — apparently S. alpinus — but there is also a slight admixture of the Cephalozia.
