MOSSES Siesta ave YORKSHIRE. 
TILLIAM INGHAM, 
Organising ee of Schools, 47, Psa Road, York. 
THE following is a list of Mosses new to Yorkshire, as far as 
I can gather from the last London Catalogue of British Mosses, 
from Braithwaite’s British Moss Flora, and from The Students” 
Handbook of British Mosses. 
I am much indebted to Mr. H. N. Dixon, M.A., F.L.S., for 
his kindness in carefully verifying every moss in the list, except 
a few of the Amblystegia, which have been kindly verified or 
named by Dr. Braithwaite. 
Sphagnum subsecundum var. viride Boul. This I found 
submerged in deep water in one of those pools, now fast 
disappearing from Strensall Common, 26th Feb. 1897. The 
leaves are almost squarrose, and therefore it is very near 
the var. sguarrosulum Grav. Mr. Dixon calls this moss an 
interesting form of var. vzride. 
Sphagnum squarrosum forma compacta. On Strensall 
Common, 26th Feb. 1897. 
Sphagnum cuspidatum var. falcatum Russ. On Cronkley 
Fell, Teesdale, 5th June 1897. 
Andreza petrophila var. acuminata Schp. On Holwick Scar, 
Teesdale, June 1897. 
Andreza petrophila var. pees Thed. On the White 
Force, Teesdale, June 1 
Rhacomitrium ieeereneuale var. gracilescens B.&S. In 
the White Force, Teesdale, June 1897. 
Tortula subulata var. subinermis Wils. On the ground,

Barbula fallax var. brevifolia Schultz. Sherburn-in-Elmet, 
26th April 1897; Castle Howard, 23rd April 1897 ; Brods- 
worth, near Doncaster, 21st March 1898; and Langdon 
Beck, Teesdale, 5th June 1897, just outside Yorkshire. All 
four gatherings were in fruit, and the habitats of the first 
three were Magnesian Limestone quarries. 
Trichostomum crispulum var. viridulum Bruch. Jackdaw 
Crag Quarry, Tadcaster, 24th Sept. 1897. 
Welére nutans var. longiseta. Skipwith Common, 2oth July
