Belfast. I have also found it along with the next species on damp chalk rocks 

 in Colin Glen (Antrim). The only Irish stations. — S.A.S. 3-5. 



215. Seligeria pusilla. Br. and Schimp. 



In crevices and fissures of chalk rocks — rare, "Near Belfast, Templeton — 

 very rare." — Flor. Hib. "Near Belfast at Wolf hill, above the mill, in con- 

 siderable abundance on the white limestone rocks ; fruiting May, 1837. Also 

 on shady limestone rocks above Lisburn. This rare and pretty little moss 

 appears to be confined in Ireland to the white limestone rocks of Antrim." —

 Braes ; not unfrequent on limestone in Co. Antrim." — Moore, Herb. Coll. Sc.
