time. Mr. W. Ingham, B.A., reported the following varied list: — 

 By the road-side from Coxwold Station to Roulston Scar via Low 

 Kilburn the predominant Mosses are Eurhynchium prcelongum 

 (fruiting- freely on a bank), Brachyihecium rutabulum, Hyloco- 

 fnium triquetrum, Eurhynchium Swartzii, Hypnum cuspidatum 

 (found in fruit by Mr. H. J. Wilkinson), and Amblysteginm 

 filicinum. Two rarer Mosses of the road-side are Barbula sinuosa 

 (Braith.) occurring in small brown patches on stones, and Ortho- 

 trichum stramineum (Hornsch.) both found by Mr. Barnes. On 

 the lower slopes of the Scar occur these Mosses — Plagiothecium 

 latebricola (B.&S.), growing with Tetraphis pellucida on rotten 

 wood in shade ; Campylopus pyriformis (Brid.), fruiting freely on 

 the side of a cutting ; Ceratodon conicus (Lindb.), on wet clay ; 

 Tortula subulaia (Hedw.), Bryiun ccespiticium , in fruit ; Barbula 

 rigidula, Weissia viridula (Hedw.); W. microstoma (CM.) with 

 its var. brachycarpa (Schp.) ; Mnitim punctatum ; Plenropus 

 sericeus, in fruit ; Isothecium myurum ; Eurhynchium murale and 

 E. confertum. On a large stone in shade grows a very interest- 

 ing little Moss, Plagiothecium denticulatum var. densum, in fruit, 

 with short and striate capsule. On the bases of tree trunks 

 may be seen the large golden masses of Flag, sylvaticum, and 

 on the sloping banks the same Moss becoming short-stemmed 

 and of very compact habit. Flag, denticulatum, typical form, 

 fruits by the road-side. Near the top of the Scar two minute 

 Mosses, Seligeria pusilla and S. recurvata, are found. On the 

 rock under the summit are large patches of A T eckera crispa var. 

 falcata, which looks very much like a Hepatic, and is an invari- 

 able index of a limestone habitat. By its side grows a very 

 pretty and small form of Hypnum molluscum, probably var. 

 gracile (Boul.). At this particular spot several hepatics of 

 luxuriant growth may be seen, viz., Porella platyphylla, the 

 smooth-coated Reboulia hemisphcerica , Lepidozia reptans, and 

 Metzgeria pubescens. On the top of the Scar in a large pool is 

 a fine growth of Sphagnum cuspidatum var. submersum (Schp.), 

 of rich brown colour and with the habit of Sph. Tor?'eyanu?n, 

 associated with the glossy brown Hypnum fiuitans, group 

 Amphibium var. Jeanbernati (Renauld). 



To this list Mr. M. B. Slater, F.L.S., adds the following 

 plants, seen on a different route : — Mosses: Ceratodon purpureus, 

 Mnium hornum (both male and fruit), Catharinea uudulata, 

 Tortula muralis, Grimm ia pulvinata , H\pnum striatum, Ambly- 

 stegium serpens, and Plagiothecium denticulatum var. aptychus. 

 Hepatics : Lepidozia reptans and Lophocolea heterophylla.
