great measure with grass, amongst which are scattered here and 
there Campanula glomerata, Gentiana Amarella, Thymus Serpyllum, 
and so on; while in small spaces bare of grass are found several Mosses 
of interest besides the usual Zortula unguiculata, T. fallax, Hyp. 
lutescens, H. molluscum, and the like. Here grow Leptotrichum flext- 
caule and Thuidium abietinum, in the only spots at present known so 
near to Oxford; and here, in addition tothe species immediately under 
notice, occur two near allies not previously asce ined to grow in the 
region at all, but scattered so sparingly amongst the herbage of the 
place that it was only in consequence of the very close search made 
for further supplies of the present plant that I found them: all three 
might indeed easily be passed over. 
Altogether I have now four species to be added to the local list, 
and I cannot do better perhaps than conclude this notice with an

Tortula squarrosa, De Not.—Also found at Holton, in hunting for 
further supplies of 7. znclinata. Nothing but the closest possible 
examination of the ground would have detected it; the stems being 
nearly single, scattered throughout some yards of grassy ground.
