The Naturalist. 



6. Barhula Hornschuchiana^ Sclipr. Wall of manor house garden and 

 elsewhere, bnt barren. 



7. B. revoluta^ Schwg. Walls, Wetherby, common. 



8. B. tortuosa.) L. On rocks in small quarry near west end of Lund 

 Wood, Eigton Bank top, dwarfed and barren. 



9. B. papulosa, Wils. Near Wetherby, W. West (1880). 



10. Zygodon viridissimus^ Dicks. On an old tree bole near Cowthorpe 

 Weir, sparingly. 



11. Bartramia pomiformis^ L. On rocky red-grit bank of lane leading 

 from Aketon bleach works to Follifoot. 



12. Philohotis calcarea. B. & S. Marshy jSeld near St. Francis' 

 Chapel, Stockeld. Mr. Boswell has certified to the name ; I passed 

 it SiS fontana. 



13. Webera nutans^ Schreb. Rare about Wetherby, heathy, turfy 

 places being rare, and the soil dry and calcareous. Compton Bank 

 Wood ! Cranberry Carr, Hunsingore ; and also growing with ling 

 — the only spot on which that survives near Wetherby — on the 

 summit of a large isolated grit boulder by the roadside at St. 

 Francis' Chapel, near Spofforth. On this rock, inaccessible with- 

 out a ladder, survive other relics of a flora now being gradually 

 displaced by aggressive agriculture. 



14. Bryum atropurpureum, W. & M. Amongst other mosses on 

 baked calcareous clay soil in a quarry by road near Linton Spring. 



15. Mnium rostratum, Schrad. Nidd bank at Cowthorpe, and by 

 Crimple Beck at Aketon. 



16. Tetradontium Brownianvm, Dicks. Plumpton Rocks, Rev. T. 

 Dalton in Nowell's Supp. Flor. Yorks. (p. 153.) Still there ! 



17. Polytrichum gracile, Menz. On a bank in Cranberry Car, near 

 Hunsingore ; capsules five-angled, and calyptra small and pale. 

 Mr. Boswell has certified the name, but yet I have some little 

 doubt whether this be not a small variety of F. commune, since the 

 apophysis was distinct, and Mr. Hobkirk found the leaves not to 

 agree with typical gracile. Capsules were scarce, so that the plant 

 merits further investigation another season. 



18. Myrinia puhinata, Wahl. By the river near Tadcaster — R. 

 Spruce. Tree-boles, Cowthorpe Weir, with Leskea polycarpa : the 

 name certified by Mr. Boswell.
