occurs almost as tall as occidentalis (I have it 18 in. high). 



To the distribution of the species of 8t„tic> I have little to add. 

 The doubtful record of Cornwall for S. Behen may be definitely 

 referred to W. Cornwall {Linton). For 8. rm-ithra, flies], ire ( //. 

 Bn„r„ !). and An-leson (H. tirimth !) mav be added. Mr. Geldart 

 regards the record of this as a Norfolk plant as doubtful. 8. bi- 

 nn-rosa I have seen from the Isle of Man ((!. A. Haiti). The 

 Suffolk record for 8. caspia Willd. seems to be an error, as no 

 specimens are known from that county. It seems to be lost in 

 Cambridgeshire, as I have not heard of its being found since the 

 publication of Prof. Babington's Flora of that county (1860). 

 There is a specimen from "Wisbeach, Sept. 170(5, J. Sum;!,,,," in 

 Herb. Mus. Brit. Dr. Lees seems to accept S. Lincoln (doubt- 

 fully recorded in Top. Bot. ed. 2). The records by Sir Joseph 

 Banks are in both S. and N. Lincoln ; I have seen specimens from 

 N. Lincoln only. 



MIDDLESEX MOSSES. 



By John Benbow, F.L.S. 



I am able to supplement the list of Mosses given at p. 106 

 with several collected since, and a few which were inadvertently 

 omitted at the time —all of them not included in the Flora of 

 HI ,1,U, sex— the total number of species being thus raised from 

 109 to 167. Some unrecorded Hepatics are also added, few in 

 number— a result to be expected in so flat and highly cultivated a 

 district; as these, however, were not specially sought for, many 

 species have been probably overlooked. It is curious to note how 

 very ancient are some of the records for quite common plants ; for 

 insuiirv. there are none for Iiacomitrium canescens (growing abun- 

 dantly near me on Uxbridge Common) since the middle of the last 



and U Met™ria °furclta. since BuddleVrecord nearly 200 yearVago ! 



in this division of its flora. I am a?ain indebted' to Mi\ J. K. 

 Bagnall for his kind and willing assistance.
