This fpecies of Bryum is one of the largeft we have in this Country, it produces its fructification from 

 November to February and may be found in moft of the woods near Town, as well as on the heaths, but 

 more particularly in Charlton Wood, where it abounds. 



As ail its parts of fructification are large and diftinct, the botanic Student who would invefUgate this difficult 

 clafs of plants, cannot with this view, felect any mofs more proper for his purpofe.
