THE MOSS-FLORA OF THE DOWARD HILLS.* 
By tHe Rev. Aveustis Ley, M.A. 
Tre Doward Hills, to the Flora of which the following ago is 
a contribution, constitute a small tract of land well known, at least 
among local botanists, for the richness of their vegetation. They 
have been scrutinised, now for half a century, by men so well 
known for accuracy of knowledge and quickness of eye, as Prof. 
C. C. Babington, a Rev. W. H. Purchas, and Alfred W. Bennett, 
M.A., as well as many others of less wide reputation, but great 
perseverance and ‘earehal research. Notably, Mr. atkins 
has examined them for a long term of years; and the result of his 
and others’ work has been that more than half of the total number 
of species native or well established in the county of Hereford are 
known to inhabit this small tract of under four > mai miles in 
extent. These results were brought before the public in a paper 
read by Mr. B. M. Watkins before the Woolhope Club i in "1881: the 
xtracted from a paper read before the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club 
on October 2nd, 1890.
