I1o NOTES AND NEWS. 
‘Cephalozia, 1882. We have no report in this section at the 
Grassington excursion, where it was unrepresented. 
At the Hayburn Wyke excursion, report is given in ‘The Naturalist’ 
for October. No specially rare forms were met with; the district, 
the plants seen during the excursion might be collected in more 
perfect condition than during the drier summer months. 
The excursion in York Dale, Sledmere, was also reported upon 
in the October number of ‘The Naturalist,’ and lists of the plants 
given, in which two new records for East Riding are noticed : Moss, 
Thuidium recognitum Hedw. ; Hepatic, Ptilidium ciliare var. pulchrum. 
Mr. J. J. Marshall, of Market Weighton, has recently commenced to 
study this tribe, and has found in his locality Pottia bryoides Dicks., 
which is the first record of this Moss for the East Riding. ‘This he 
gathered during the spring; and more recently he has met with, 
growing on the stems of willows, Py/aisia polyantha Schreb., a moss 
which is noticed by Schimper as of very common distribution on the 
Continent, but which, however, occurs only rarely in the British Isles. 
Orthotrichum pulchellum Sm., growing on Sambucus in Lees 
Wood, near Birdsall, and Cylindrothectum concinnum DeNot., met 
with in an old lime-quarry near Langton, are both additions to the 
East Riding list. The latter moss grows in the North Riding upon 
the calcareous Howardian Hills near Welburn and at Hildenley ; 
also near Pickering and Kirby Moorside, on similar geological 
formation. It has, however, not been met with in fruit.
