<< Longridge dean." — Rev. A. Baird " On shelving rocks at 

 Hudshead." — Dr. Johnston. In dark crevices of the lower Bizzle 

 rocks, and also near the top ; in Henhole ; near Linhope lower 

 fall ; very fine below long heather on Common burn ; Heathpool 

 Linn, and elsewhere on the hills ; moors near Kyloe. B. " Boggy 

 places on Dirrington, and in Langtonlees Cleugh, abundant." 

 Rev. T.Brown. " Dunglass dean, abundant." — Rev. A. Baird. 

 Sisterpath dean, in Penmanshiel wood ; in great masses on 

 burnsides on Penmanshiel moor, and overhanging like a curtain, 

 the dark sides of moss-hags in Penmanshiel moss. R. Near 

 Jedburgh. — A. J. "Folia rore veluti crystallino lucida" 

 (Scopoli.J 



64. Cryphsea, Mohr. 

 1. 0. HETEEOMALLA, Dill. On trunks of trees in sheltered 

 situations ; rare. [On an elm near the road walk, Dunglass pond, 

 East Lothian. — Mr. A. Blake']. B. On trees in Ayton woods. — 

 W. S. On crab-trees in an old hedge at Sligh-houses, in fruit. — 

 J. A. It appears to prefer policies and orchards, and may follow 

 cultivation. 



65. Fontinalis, DUlenius. 



1. F. ANTiPYRETiCA, L. In rivulots and stagnant pools, on 

 moors and upland districts. Among the Cheviots it grows in the 

 pools, whence the Common burn originates, and in Dunsdale 

 burn, &c. 



2. F. SQUAMOSA, Z. N. " In Woo] er water." — Winch. — Hen- 

 hole. — A. J. It is questionable whether this is not a narrow- 

 leaved alpine form of F. antipyretica ; but specimens gathered 

 long since on Hedgehope have been lost. 



ADDENDA. 



Under Sphagnum eubellum, I have said that it was the only 

 other British species to be added. Now, however, I learn that 

 the native Sphagna have been augmented by other nine species. 



Grimmia contorta, Wahlenh. In turning over some mosses, 

 I find an example gathered in the Bizzle, April 29th, 1867, with 

 three perfect capsules attached. It might readily be passed for 

 Cynodontium Bruntoni or Weissia cirrhata. 



Tortula, Schreh. 

 15. T. MARiTiMA, Nov. Sp. With the habit and appearance 

 of T. suhulata ; growing in small close tufts ; leaves erecto-patent, 

 broadly oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, nerve excurrent in a short 

 mucro, sometimes denticulate before the apex ; margin plane ; 

 darker coloured, and of a looser texture, and more pellucid than 

 in T. suhulata ; paler at the point ; when not succulent, less cris- 

 pate when dried, and more upright than in T. suhulata ; fruit- 

 stalks numerous, short, pale ; capsule short, almost ovate, erect, 

 or slightly bent, the lid as long as the capsule ; calyptra silky 

 yellow, brown at the top, closely resembling that of T. suhulata.
