TWO RECENT ADDITIONS to tae BRITISH MOSSES.

make them agree it was evident that there was a greet Mecsas cay 
between the Tega wee of B. glaciale and the in hand; 
moreover it did not resemble albicans at ia ate were in 
outline and wires a good deal like those of B. Muhlenbeckit, but 
the habit and aspect of the plant as well as the om of growth 
were very different, and as the details accorded with no other

found, and it is to be feared that it will prov be one more of 
those mosses which re ‘in Britannia sterilis,” fruiting only
