also unearthed it at Brimham Rocks (north side) and in rabbit — 
burrows at Birk Crag, Harrogate. 
At the last-named place I also find in plenty 
Stableria gracilis Lindb. (Orthodontium gracile Schw.). The only 
other Yorkshire locality noted for this rare moss is the Strid, 
Wharfedale (Spruce). I am inclined to think it may be more 
commonly distributed than would appear, for since it is very 
shy in fruiting it is quite possible it may have been mistaken 
for some of the smaller Dicranacez, such as Dicranoqweissa 
cirrhata, to which it bears a superficial resemblance. 
Bryum proliferum (L.) Sibth. and Mnium pseudopunctatum 
Br. Sch., are both close by on Oak Beck Farm. I have not 
had the good fortune to find the former in fruit. 
Cryphza heteromalla Mohr. grows on the bole of a large beech : 
by the roadside west of Ribston. This appears to be very rare 
in our northern counties.
