1. L. LATEBEicoLA, WUson. B. I picked out 8ome fragmenta 

 of this minute moss among some tufts of Bryum crudum and B. 

 pallens, gathered near Buskin burn, on Ooldingham moor. They 

 correspond in form and texture with the true plant. 



2. L. POLYANTHA, ^e</to. N. " In the dean above Twizell 

 Castle." — Rev. A. Baird. B. On a Vfillow where Cryphoea hetero- 

 malla grows in woods near the Ale, also elsewhere in the Ay ton 

 woods. — W. S. 



3. L. SERiCEA, Dill. L. On dry rocks, walls, and trunks of 

 trees ; common. It ascends to the Bizzle. 



60. Eypnum, Dill. 



1. H. NiTENS, Dill. In moist sphagnous bogs ; not frequent. 

 N. " Haidendean." — Dr. Johnston. On a piece of mossy ground 

 near Hetton Hall. B. In the bogs on the moor near Penman- 

 shiel, and near Dowlaw moss ; in a bog on the height where 

 the farms of Elmford and Barnside march, in the Lammermoors. 

 — Drakemire bog. — J. A. R. Near Jedburgh. — A. J. 



2. H. ALBICANS, Dill. On thin soil among rocks, on wall- 

 tops, and on sandy links by the sea-coast ; not unfrequent, and 

 generally distributed. Not seen among the hills. 



3. H. LUTESCENS, Dill. On open banks somewhat moist, 

 base of stone walls ; and especially on the sea-banks on a sand- 

 stone soil ; generally distributed. A small state of it found in 

 Bellyside ravine, on Cheviot. 



4. H. PLUMosuM, Swartz Eocks liable to be overflowed at 

 the sides of streams ; common. It occurs both in Henhole and 

 the Bizzle. A form of it, with striated, or rather fluted upright 

 foliage, might be taken for H. salebrosum ; but the structure of 

 the leaf does not difi'er from the ordinary form. 



5. H. ^ovvLWJU, Swartz, On walls and rocks, and occasionally 

 on trees ; common. It ascends to the Bizzle. 



6. H. VELUTiNUM, Dill. On walls, stones, and trees ; common. 

 I have found a dipterous green prickly larva, supposed to be 

 Tipulidan, in spring feeding on the foliage of this and other tree 

 Hypna ; I could not rear it. 



7. H. EUTABULTJM, Dill. On banks, in grass-fields, on walls, 

 and tree stumps ; frequent. 



8. H, RivuLARE, Bruch. On stones by rivulets, and often 

 growing in water ; chiefly in the upland streams. N. Among 

 rocks on Care burn, and on Common burn ; Humbleton dean ; 

 Heathpool Linn ; Harthope Linn ; ascends the Bizzle and Hen- 

 hole burns, to the swampy bogs on Cheviot, where it grows in 

 compact masses, of a deeper green ; also in the springs on the 

 side of Cheviot opposite Hedgehope, far up the hill. In a pond 

 near the Maiden well ; and in fruit in a bog near Hetton Hall. 

 E. Sides of the Eoxburghshire streams. — A. J. B. In drains at 

 Drakemire, and on the Whitadder. — /. A.
