L. S. A. Stewart records a very large and beautiful form of 
this moss from Slieve Donard ; I also found similar luxuriant 
plants of it in the White Eiver Glen, which is bounded on 
the east by the precipices of Slieve Donard. Mr. J. Templeton 
mentions finding Dicranum squarrosum, on dripping rocks, 
on the river-side running from Slieve Donard towards the 
Diamond Mountain " ; this locality must be one of the springs, 
at the head of the "White Eiver Glen, as no other place 
answers so well to the description. Frequent, but in small 
quantities.
