MOSSES ann HEPATICS or LLANWRTYD, BRECONSHIRE. 
By rue Rey. W. H. Painter. 
Tax valley in which Llanwrtyd is situate is an upland one in 
Breconshire, and lies for the most part north and south, through 
which the River Irfon runs _ join the Ri On either side 
the east, to about 1200 ft. “The lowest part of the valley is 645 ft. 
above the sea. The mosses which I found in this valley in the 
years 1901 and 1902 were collected within a radius of three miles 
from the modern village of Llanwrtyd Wells. More might have 
been gathered, had the weather been more suitable than it was for 
walking on these high hills, the rainfall of which is greatly in 
excess of that of the neighbouring counties of Englan 
I desire to express my oratitude to Mr. E. C. Hornell, F.L.8., 
: : W. 
Hamilton, D. A. Br and J. A. Wheldon, for verifying my de- 
terminations of the other mo sses ; and to the Revs. Canon Lett and 
C. H. Waddell, Si assisting me with the hepatics.
