Mr. Hardy on the Moss Flora of the Eastern Borders. 471 



not common. E. Wood near Jedburgh ; and in a wood on 

 the hill top between Gattonside and Sorrowlessfield. — A. J. 



B. In Blackhouse dean, and a patch in the Dogbush plantations 

 above Marigold. — /. A. 



48. H. MOLLUsciTM, Dill. On moist clayey banks, and in bogs 

 on moors ; from the sea-coast to the Cheviot ravines ; in the 

 Bizzle with purple tips to the branches. 



49. H. cuPRESsiFORME, Dill. On the ground, trunks of trees, 

 stone walls, and rocks ; very common and variable. Var. beevi- 

 SETUM grows in the Bizzle ; its branches tipt with purplish brown. 

 Var. LACUNOSUM, at the base of a stone wall near Penmanshiel. 



C. Bauhin first named the species. » 



50. H. EESUPiNATUM, WHson. On walls, trees, and dry rocks; 

 not uncommon ; from the sea-coast to the Bizzle rocks. 



51. H. ARCUATUM, Lindberg. {H. pratense, Yar. h. Wilson, 

 Bryolog. Brit. H, Lindbergii, Mitten). B. A specimen was 

 gathered by W. Shaw, somewhere near Eyemouth, but the locality 

 is not marked. Mr Wilson remarks on this example — " The true 

 H. pratense of Koch does not seem different, and has not yet been 

 found in Britain." Lindberg has found H. arcuatum in fruit, in 

 Sweden, but it is barren with us. 



52. H. ocHRACEUM, Turner. N. On rocks and stones in the 

 Cheviot rivulets, particularly near waterfalls ; first detected in 

 Henhole, by Mr Jerdon. It occurs in fruit in the Bizzle ; and is 

 found also in the Pebble or Diamond burn ; in Wooler water, 

 above Langleyford, and on Hedgehope. 



53. H. scoRPioiDES, Dill. Moist rotten spots on upland 

 moors. B, *' Lamberton and Coldingham moors." — Dr. Johnston, 

 I once found the fruit rising on a plant, gathered on Penmanshiel 

 moor. Moor above Drakemire, &c. N. On the Cheviots. B. 

 Near Jedburgh, 



54. H. PULCHELLTJM, Dicks. In the crevices of shady moist 

 mountain rocks. N. Not unfrequent both in Bizzle and Henhole. 

 In Henhole the fruit is sometimes found in the centre of cushions 

 of Zygodon Mougeotii ; and I observed the same circumstance at 

 Heathpool Liim, where this Hypnum sparingly occurs. Among 

 the Care burn rocks, and at Harthope Linn. — In Lyham dean. — 

 W, B .B. B. Near Eden's hold, Cockburn-law, on the rotted 

 bark of tree roots over which the water trickles in wet weather. — 

 J. A. A small patch in the moist fissures of rocks near Siccar 

 point. Mr. Wilson remarks on the examples from Siccar point, 

 which are very dwarf. "The 'folia secunda, subfalcata, late 

 lanceolata tenuique acuminata,' are evident enough here ; usually 

 the moss has ' folia complanata,' and then becomes H. nitidulum 

 of Wahlenberg {PlagiotJiecium nitidulum, Bryol. Eur.,) but 

 neither I nor Lindberg think it distinct," It is somewhat re- 

 markable to find it so near the sea, growing in close proximity to 

 mosses hitherto reckoned peculiarly southern, viz. — Trichostomum
