78 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 
DENBIGHSHIRE MOSSES. 
By Exzonora ARMITAGE. 
In June, 1898, I spent three or four days collecting mosses in a 
hilly district of Denbighshire (v.-c. 50), about seven miles west of 
Oswestry. e geological formation there is Lower Silurian, con- 
sisting of slate vas and soft black a (Llandeilo). The elevation 
of the district above sea-level is as follow —Tydraw Valley, 831 ft.; 
hill above Sera , 1467 ft.; hill ius Rhiwlas, 1490 ft. ; Gyen 
Moelfre, 1 B tt. 
I collected — species and varieties, thirty-one of which are 
given here, nineteen being omitted as they have already pee 
recorded for Donbiphabize i in the list Sg by Mr. H. N. Dixo 
in this Journal for 1898, p. 186. The Rev. C. H. Binstead oi 
Mr. E. C. Horrell have kindly helped me in dccemin ning the species. 
I have now received a valuable additional list for Denbighshire 
from Professor Barker, who has courteously placed it at my disposal. 
I have therefore incorporated it here. Professor Barker's collection 
was made during the last week of August and the first wee 
September, 1899, in two parts of the county—viz. the neighbour- 
hood of Capel Garmon, and around Colwyn Bay, including Bryn 
Kuryn, a comer ote hill of the Orme’s Head 
Professor Barker’s list ee one nde and seventy-seven 
species saa vaste es; of these, forty-seven have been recorded in 
r. Dixon's list and my Potigt er ht Aiton one hundred and six 
are new. Some of the doubtful specimens were referred to Mr. 
Dixon. Mosses collected both by Professor Barker and myself are 
distinguished by the initials (TY. B., FE. A.) following the name; 
those collected only by esktcas are marked (EZ. A.); the r 
Professor Barker, are unmar ith the sixty- four mosses of 
r. Dixon’s list, the total fox Denbighshire now includes two 
hundred and one species and varieties.
