MOSSES AND HEPATICS OF STRENSALL COMMON, 
WILLIAM INGHAM, B.A., 
Organising Inspector of Schools, 47, Haxby Road, York. 
Tuts List contains the Mosses and Hepatics I have gathered 
and examined during the last two years. 
ommon, which has been the happy hunting ground of 
g past, years, has lately altered very much in 
backs, owing a the military encampment and to the con- 
sequent a aienok Some of the Mosses and Hepatics for which 
ommon was once famous have become extinct. he 
present List may be interesting, as showing what Mosses 
and Hepatics still exist under the altered conditions. 
The List is by no means complete, but contains only those 
that have been examined and verified and that are now in my 
Herbarium. 
he nomenclature followed is the same as that for the 
‘Skipwith Common Mosses and Hepatics,’ and the plants have 
_been kindly verified by the same gentlemen as those mentioned 
in connection with Skipwith Common. 
I may mention that the rare moss Dicranum spurtum is now 
much dwarfed in habit, and almost extinct. 
The Common at the present time is undoubtedly richest in 
‘The soil here, 
as on Skipwith Common, is siliceous, but the Mosses are not as 
fine as those on the latter Common, through lack of moisture.
