S\m\ notes anb (Queries. 



Plagiothecium Borrerianura is Frctt at Douglas, — During a short 

 visit to the Isle of Man, last month, I collected this moss near Douglas in 

 beautiful fruit. The capsules were fully ripe, slight pressure removing 

 the hds and so disclosing the characteristic pale yellowish peristome. The 

 barren plant — as with us — is plentiful, but the fruit was confined to one 

 spot, on a Hght leafy soil and in deep shade. — G. A. Holt, Manchester. 



Notes ox the Flora of Hodder-Dale. — Encouraged by the state- 

 ment on page 276 of West Yorkshire," that The region of which 

 Slaidburn is the centre, offers a fine field for investigation and discovery," 

 I set off on June 20th, and during that day and the four that followed, 

 wandered up the Hodder Yalley and those of its tributaries, from the 

 point near Great Milton, where it empties itself into the Ribble, to its 

 source on Catlow Fells. Most of the plants given in the ^'West York- 

 shire " Hst were seen by me, and there would be no advantage gained by 

 an enumeration of those already recorded ; I shall therefore mention only 

 plants hitherto unrecorded for Hodder-dale — plants, that is, not included 

 in the list on pp. 277-8 of ''West Yorkshire." Phanerogams: — Cardo- 

 mine amara, Viola lutea, var. amcEiia, Drosera rotundifolia, Genista tinc- 

 toria, Ti ifolium mediv/m, Geum irderraediy.rii, Asperula odorata, SoUdago 

 virgaurea, Vaccinium oxycoccos, Digitalis purpurea, Veronica smtellata, 

 Bhinanthus major, Melarapyrum pratense (var. mordanum). Primula 

 farinosa, Lysirnachia neraorum, Plantago media, Erapetrum nigrara, Salix
