THE STRAIT OF MAGELLAN. 485 



specimens of a species of Giinnera {G. lohata), found by Dr. 

 Hooker at Cape Horn. This species is not uncommon in the 

 western part of the Strait, and differs from the G. Magellanica 

 in the possession of glossy lobed leaves, together with a 

 variety of other characters not calling for mention in this 

 place. 



On the 20th we left Fortescue Bay in the morning, and 

 moved eastwards as far as Wood's Bay, whither one of the

 nearly three hours, and two of the officers and I pulled about

 In the woods I obtained specimens of a pretty little moss, the 

 Hypopterygium Thouini, first noticed at Eden Harbour. Early 

 in the afternoon, the survey of the bay having been completed,

 intelligence that we were ordered home. The news was
