192 MOSSES, HEPATIOE AND LICHENS. 



Islands (third edition, 1879) the most recent and reliable text 

 book on the subject. They are given chiefly on the authority 

 of two well-known eminent lichenologists, the late Rev. T. 

 Salwey and Mr. Charles Larbalestier, of Jersey. 



For convenience of reference, I may state that the 

 number of species (excluding named varieties) enumerated in 

 this paper is as follows : Mosses, 142 ; Hepaticse, 38 ; and 

 Lichens, 243. 



As I intimated at the outset, the present lists are not put 

 forward as in any way exhaustive; they must simply be 

 regarded as the groundwork for more extended operations — as 

 guide-posts, indicating how much or how little is known — 

 and, I would fain hope, as incentives to others to go into the 

 field and labour.
