Fissidens serrulatus, Brid., in England. — I beg to announce the 

 discovery of the above moss as a native of Britain. The plant seems to 

 have been distributed by Mr. Curnow for some years back, under the 

 name of F. polyphyllus. I understand that Mr. Boswell first found out 

 the mistake from specimens gathered by Mr. Curnow, last November, but 

 my specimens were gathered so far back as September, near Penzance. — 

 John Whitehead. 



Large Assembly of Magpies. — During a walk to Adel on the 3rd inst. 

 my brothers, while passing the house of Mr. Tetley at Meanwood, were 

 surprised by a loud chattering noise, which, when they got nearer, they 

 found to proceed from a great number of magpies assembled together. 

 Within a very short space they counted twenty-eight, and there were 

 many more perched on the trees, walls, and fences. Without exaggera- 

 ting they say there must have been upwards of fifty, and several persons 

 were watching them. Can anyone inform me what had attracted them, 

 and if it is not an unusual occurrence ? I have never seen more than two 

 or three together. It^seemed as if all the magpies in the neighbourhood 

 of Leeds had met together to form plans for the new year. — Walter 

 Rainb, Leeds. Jan. 6th.
