 H. rigidiLtn var. tridentum, H. ccesiiun, H. boreale, H. umhellatiim, 

 Aspleniu?n adiantum-nigriun , and Ceterach officinariirn. 



No serious attempt was made to thoroughly investigate the 

 mosses and hepatics in this wide area, but, from material 

 collected on this hurried excursion, Mr. Ingham has kindly 

 identified the specimens enumerated below. The lower part of 

 the gill produced Plagiochila aspleirioides, and var. major, 

 Porella platyphylla, also Jiingennania Flcerkii and J. veiitricosa. 

 Large patches of Hypinim palustre and H. comvintatum were 

 common on the limestone rocks. 



In the upper and better wooded portion of the gill Jiuiger- 

 mania barbata, J. incisa, and Metsgeria furcata were met with ; 

 here Pterygophy litem hicejis, Breiitelia arcuata and fruited tufts 

 of Plagiotheciiun imdulatuni were the most noteworthy mosses. 



On emerging- once more into the sunshine of the heather-clad 

 slopes, Hypniim Schreberi and H. cupressiforme var. ericetorum 

 were seen. 



By the moist wayside leading- to the fault some Sphagna and 

 Polytrichum commune, P. formosum, P. uriiigerum, and P. 

 piliferum were found. 



Near to the upturned masses of limestone — due to the great 

 fault — is a swampy area which yielded Jinigermania ventricosa, 

 J. cordifolia and also Hypnum revole?is, H. scorpioides, Bryum 

 alpinum var. viride, Campylopus atrovirens and lower down a 

 fruited patch of Dicranella hetromalla var. sericea was secured.
