462 Mr. Hardy on the Moss Flora of the Eastern Borders. 



19. B. ZiERii, Dicks. In fissures of moist rocks, and the 

 oozy sides of mountain streams ; rather frequent in the Bizzle ; 

 also in various parts of Henhole. Produces fruit in July. R. 

 Eoxburghshire. — A. J. 



20. B. EOSEXJM, Schreh. Shady dry banks in woods and 

 among rocks ; in numerous localities in the district. Winch 

 found it at " the foot of the Cheviot ;" I noticed it in Langlee crag 

 ravine, and at Hazelton Eigg wood. It descends to the seabanks 

 as at Oldcambus ; near which I observed a large quantity grow- 

 ing on the fine soil of deserted ant hillocks. This moss was first 

 figured by C. Bauhin. 



43. Enium, Br. and Sch. 



1. M. AFFiNE, Bland. In marshes. E. Fairnington bog, 

 and a lai-ge patch in a damp wood near Melrose, — A. J. In a 

 bog beside Hetton hall.— W. B. B. 



2. M. CUSPID ATiTM, iye(/^(;. ]Sl. " In a bog near Haidendean; 

 amongst Hypna, but not in fruit." — Dr Johnston. " In fructifi- 

 cation in woods near Alnwick." — Mr R. C. Embleton. (Winch.) 

 On the surface of a broken-down mossy wall, near a pool, by the 

 side of a footpath from the Maiden well to Earl loaning, finely in 

 fruit, April 22, 1867. It has a preference to ruinous walls. 

 A small patch at the side of a wall, on the highest part of Pen- 

 manshiel farm, about 750 feet. E. Cherrytrees, but not in fruit. 

 —J. B. B. 



3. M. ROSTRATUM, Schwcegr. By the sides of shady rivulets 

 in woods. B. Pease, Dunglass, and the Fleurs deans ; and on 

 the Ale water, &c. N. Eoddam dean ; by the side of the Bizzle 

 burn. It is an Arctic species (E. Brown in Parry's Voyage) ; in 

 India it grows in the forest region of the Neilgherries. 



4. M. SERRATTJM, Bridel. Margins of rivulets in woods, &c. 

 B. " Langtonlees cleugh." — Rev. Thos. Brown — Vicinity of 

 Cockburn Law. — J. A. N. Heathpool Linn ; Old Middleton burn ; 

 and below the water-fall at Langlee crag ; Eoddam dean ; Hetton 

 burn.— W. B. B. 



5. M. HORNUM, L. " Under moist shelving rocks, and on the 

 stumps of old trees, in dense tufts." It particularly garnishes 

 the buttresses of old alders, so conspicuous by their mossy 

 bottoms. From the sea-coast it rises to the summit of the Bizzle, 

 where it fruits freely. 



6. M. TJNDULATUM, Hedw. Moist shady banks, also in woods, 

 and on the sea-banks, and on moors under dwarf willows. A 

 small variety bears fruit in the Bizzle and Henhole. Dr. John- 

 ston records that the Eev. A. Baird found it in fruit rear Swinton ; 

 and I had found good examples in Sisterpath dean, nearPenman- 

 shiel. The warm season of 1868 produced a great crop of capsules. 

 I gathered them in quantity at Heathpool Linn ; and Mr. J. B. 

 Boyd found them plentiful at Cherrytrees.
