9. H. CRASSiNERViuM, Taylor. E. On a stone by the side of 

 the Oxnam. — A. J. 



10. H. piLiFERUM, Vaill. Shady woods and banks. B. 

 " Langtonlees Cleugh." — Rev. T. Brown. Sisterpath dean, in 

 Penmanshiel wood ; sea-banks behind St. Helen's Church, Old- 

 cambus ; Ayton woods, &c. K. Near Jedburgh. — A. J. Cherry- 

 trees.— /. B. B. 



11. H. PRiELONGUM, Dill. On rocks, hollows of shady banks, 

 and over-running decayed trees in woods, &c. ; frequent. A 

 small variety is common in barren fields ; and a lurid variety is 

 found in peat mosses beneath dwarf wiUows ; and there are other 

 forms that almost look like species. 



12. H. SwARTZii, Turner. B. In a dried-up ditch on Green- 

 side hill, near Oldcambus. N. In the Bizzle. — Hetton burn. — 

 W. B. B. E. Cherrytrees.— /. B. B. Near Melrose.—^. J. 



13. H. sPECiosuM, Bridel. N. In Lyham dean, — W. B. B. 

 B. I find a fragment among other mosses gathered on the Ale, 

 where it will have to be looked for again. 



14. H. PUMiLiTM, Wilson. E. On a tree-stump near Jed- . 

 burgh. — A. J. N. On clayey soil in the Bizzle, near the stream- 

 side. It appears to be scarce, as I have only one specimen. 



15. H. STRIATUM, Hedw. Shady ravines in woods, banks, 

 and bases of walls ; common. Found in both the Bizzle and 

 Henhole. 



16. H. ETJSCiFOLiuM, Dill. In shallow, stony, and rocky 

 streams, common ; and by river-sides. 



17. H. coNTERTUM, Diclcs. On stones, walls, &c. ; trunks of 

 trees ; common. 



18. H. MURALE, Dicks. B. "Langton wood." — Rev. T, 

 Brown. On a sand-stone in the dean behind St. Helen's Church, 

 Oldcambus. E. Near Jedburgh. — A. J. Sprengel reckons this 

 as one of the mosses that will grow on pure quartz. 



19. H. TENELLTJM, Z)ecAs. On rocks, uot commou. B. Eocks 

 on the sea-banks between Eammel and Dowlaw ; the rocks are 

 greywacke, but the waters issuing from them deposit lime. 

 Among wet shady rocks on the Ale. — W. S. These rocks 

 likewise contain lime ; and it is thus that this and other calca- 

 reous mosses find a habitat where no limestone presents itself. 



20. H. ATROVTRENS, DicJcs. E. On a dry stone wall near 

 Cherrytrees. This remarkable discovery of a moss, hitherto con- 

 sidered exclusively a native of the Scottish Highlands, in a posi- 

 tion so low down, was made by John B. Boyd, Esq. The speci- 

 mens vary somewhat in appearance from examples from Ben 

 Lawers ; but, on being submitted to Mr. Wilson, he could trace 

 no essential difi'erence. 



21. H, ELODEs, Spruce. B. Growing at the edge of a stone 

 in a wet bog in Penmanshiel moor. 



22. H. SERPENS, Dill. Moist banks, decayed logs, moist
