NOTES ON MOSSES, HEPATIC iE AND LICHENS 

 FROM THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. 



BY P. G. M. RHODES, B.A. 



The following list comprises some of the more interesting of 

 the mosses, hepaticas and lichens collected by me in the 

 Channel Islands in 1907-1909, during the months of March 

 and April of each year. Besides these I found many more or 

 less common species in Guernsey and Sark, but as localities 

 for these are specified in Mr. Marquand's Flora of Guernsey 

 and the Lesser Channel Islands there is no need to include 

 them in the present list. 



As regards J ersey I do not know what has already been 

 recorded, so I have noted some of the common species. A 

 few are apparently new records for the Channel Islands. In 

 the case of the mosses, vouchers of such have been submitted 

 to Mr. Ingham. Nearly all the lichens have been verified by 

 the Rev. H. P. Reader, O.P. 



No very important discoveries are reported here ; but it 

 may be mentioned that Grimmia subsqimrrosa, appears to be 

 another instance of a plant which, while rare in Great Britain, 

 is well distributed and locally abundant in the Channel Islands. 

 It is also curious that among the lichens of the north coast of 

 Jersey there are several (e.g., Lccidea geminata) which seem 

 to occur chiefly among the Welsh and Scotch mountains.
