HEPATICH. OF MOIDART, WEST INVERNESS. 358 
Lophocolea bidentata (L.). Common on wet grassy and rocky. 
banks, and among wet rocks on the shore ; uncommon on the hills, 
but ascending to 1700 ft.—tL. spicata Tayl.; W. H. P. Frequent 
among wet shore rocks; ¢. per. November, 1898. 
+ Clasmatocolea ounifolia (Hook), Spruce ; W.H.P. On birch 
trees in two localities growing on the bark and on Frullania: oo a 
rock in a ravine creepin among Radula aquilegia with Lejeu 
ovata, L. micros ——— Plagiochila punctata, and P. itiohiedies 
On the trees it grows in reddish brown patches of a few inches, or 
creeping over the irulnces Although a small plant, it is not 
difficult to recognise when growing in patches, there being nothing 
with its appearance in this district except a small lichen which 
grows in similar places, and has much the same colour. Single 
stems creeping among Frullania can hardly be seen with the 
naked eye. Besides the South of Ireland, this plant has been found 
in Stavanger, Norway, by Herr Kaalaas, who writes me that the 
Moidart specimens are much more iuxce than his, or those 
which he has from Irelan 
*Chiloscyphus polyanthos (L .); W.H.P. Common among rocks

Bazzania tricrenata and Jungermania orcadensis.
