REPORTS. 13 



In the course of tlie year T have continued my researches 

 among the Freshwater AI(/ce, and have now the pleasure 

 of recording thirteen species new to the Guernsey flora, 

 inchiding two Desinids. Some of these I found in Alderney 

 two or three years ago, but the majority our new to our area. 



The following is a list of the (Tuernsey plants, those 

 species which are first records foi- the Sarnian Islands being 

 marked with an asterisk. 



MOSSES. 



*GPimmia apoearpa, Heda-. On a roadside boulder at Le Friquet, Catel. 



*G. deeipiens, Llndh. On banks at Rnettes Brajes. On a wall at Le 

 Friqnet. 



Arehidium alternifolium, Schp. Lancresse Common, near Fort Doyle. 



Pottia erinita, JJlh. Recorded in Wilson's " Bryologia Britannica," p. 96, 

 as found in Guernsey by the Rev. T. Salwey (probably about the year 

 1847). I have found this moss in Alderney, but have not yet met with it 

 in tliis island. 



BaPbula fallax, Heda-. WaU of the Hermitage, St. INIartin's. Wall at 

 Coutanchez. Bank at Ronceval. Wall at Fort George. 



Funaria faseieularis, Schp. Sparingly on a wet moorland spot near Le 

 Friquet, Catel. 



"*Webera earnea, Schp. Found at the base of a cliff in Rocquaine Bay, on 

 August 11, 1905, by Professor L. Corbiere, of Cherbourg, who kindly sent 

 me a specimen. 



Hypnum fluitans, L. Marshes near Ivy Castle. Old quarry pool towards 

 Fort Le Marchant, a tall submersed form. 



HEPATICi^E. 



*Sphser0Carpus terrestris, Sm. On the bare ground in a sandy field 

 near Les Capelles; in good quantity in April. Wet moorland s]3ot near 

 Le Friquet. 



*TaPgionia hypophylla, I. Hedgebank in lane at Les Rebouquets, 

 Forest. Wall in St. INJartin's Churchyard. 



*F0SS0mbF0nia angulosa, Rad. The species of Fossombronia are quite 

 undistinguishable wlieii barren, but when fruiting the spores afford a sure 

 means of identification. In Guernsey, F. (o/gulosa (in which the spores 

 are bordered by a broad hyaline wnng) is common all over the southern 

 half of the island. F. ptuniJla., on the contrary, is very rare, and the 

 only spot ill wliich I have found it, after long searching, was on the 

 sides of a half-dry httle pool on the moor by Fort Doyle. In the spores of 

 F. piisilla the winged border is entirely wanting, and the rim is margined 

 with closely set points hke the irregular teeth of a saw. 



FRESH WATER ALGiE. 



*VolVOX g'lobator, L. Plentiful in a gathering of Sph'ocjyra from a marsh 

 near I^y Castle. 



Spirog'yra varians, Kutz. INIarshes near Iv}- Castle. 



S. mirabilis, Kutz. Quarry pool near Fort Le Marchant. 



*S. flaveseens, {Hass.) Cln-e. Quarry pool at Les Goubais, Vale.
