Mr. J. F. Pickard writes : — There is a rich field for the Botanist in all direc- 
tions from Sedbergh ; but on the beetling slate crags about Cautley and Black 
Force much valuable work may still be done. Pyrola secunda ought to be looked 
for in the steep heather and scree, at the head of the Black Force gill. Rich golden 
masses of Saxifraga aizoides will also be noticed here. At Cautley grows the 
Alchemilla alpina in profusion, and on the wet rocks Hymenophylliim unilaterale, 
Melica nutans^ Sedum fabaria, four kinds of Lycopodiuw, Parsley Fern, and 
Epilobium alsinifolium can be found here. Other plants of the district are Sedum 
anglicum, Saxifraga stellaris, Meum athamanticutn, Circcea intermedia, Galium 
horeale, etc., and there is a rich variety of Hieracia to be met with on the rocky 
stream banks and scars. Careful examination of the Rawthey bank should reveal 
Agrimonia odorata, discovered here by Mr. E. J. Lumb, and recorded some years 
ago in the " Naturalist," by the late Mr. W. West, junr. The plant is coarser and 
stouter than Agrimonia eupatoria, has odorous glands, and the fruit has twin nut- 
lets. Any information respecting it would be valuable. The banks of the Dee in 
Dentdale have a quantity of Campanula rapunculoides, probably introduced, yet 
rapidly spreading among the coarse herbage on the river banks near Gawthrop. 
Some of the gills in the Baugh Fell group, and further north, require exploration. 
Uldale and its tributaries require further research, and the mountain turf tops 
should be examined for Salix herbacea, known near Whernside, but not recorded 
for Sedbergh. There is an old record for Juniper on the Howgill Fells ; if re-found 
it is likely to be Juniperus nana. A few doubtful records needing confirmation 
might be added. The ground should be searched for Vicia orobus. 
Other uncommon plants are Pritnula farinosa, Narthecium ossifragtim, 
Habenaria bifolia, Gymnadenia conopsia, Malaxis paludosa, Epimedium alpimivi, 
Parnassia palustris, Comaruvt palustre, Erigeron alpinus, etc. Geranium pheum, 
.not uncommon in and around Brigflatts, is probably a garden escape. 
Mosses and Hepatics. — The Yorkshire Bryological Committee will be 
officially represented by Mr. Wm. Ingham, B.A., the Chairman. 
Mr. Ingham writes : — The Sedbergh district is very rich in Bryophytes. There 
are many records, of which the following are a few of the most interesting : 
True Mosses. — Polytrichum alpinum, Bartramia CEderi, B. Halleriania, 
Neckera crispa var. falcata, Barbula rigidula, Eypnum examulatum, var. 
pinnatum forma acuta, and H. inier?nediu?n, all by the Rawthey River on Baugh 
Fell ; Rhabdoweisia denticulata, Grimmia conferta, Dicranella secunda, and 
Barbula rubella var. ruberrima at Cautley Spout ; Swartzia montana var. com- 
pacta by Clough River ; Weisia crispata, W. verticillata, and Philonotis calcarea, 
by Cross Haw Beck ; Btyum inclinatum, Anoectangium compactum, and Hypnum 
falcatum var. gracilescens, by Taith's Gill ; Eurhynchium Teesdalei, by Hebble- 
thwaite Beck ; and Plagiothccium depressum, at Uldale Fall and by Hebblethwaite 
Beck, 
Sphagna. — S. subnitens var. flavescens, S. recurvum vars. amhlyphyllum and 
mucronatufu, S. parvifolium, and S, papillosum forma sub-laeve, by the Rawthey 
River ; S. Gravetii and S. cymbifolium var. fusco-rubescens, by Taith's Gill. 
Hepatics. — Metzgeria pubescens, by Hebblethwaite Gill ; Lejeunea cavifolia 
var. planiuscula, Scapania purpurascens, by Cross Haw Beck ; Scapania aspera, 
Mylia Taylori, and Lepidozia Pearsoni, by the Rawthey River, the first also by 
Hebblethwaite Gill ; and Lophozia incisa, by Taith's Gill. 
Mr. C. Cheetham writes : — The best district for mosses is at Cautley Spout, 
where the whole vegetation is of a lake district type. The following are a few of 
the best from my own gatherings here : Andreaa petrophila, A. Alpina, A. Rothii, 
Oligotrichum hercynicum, Polytrichum nanu?n, Diphyscium foliosum, Seligeria 
recurvata, Brachyodus trichodes, Rhabdoweisia fugax, Dicranum secunda, Blindia 
acuta, Campylopus atro-virens, Fissidens os?nundoides, Grimmia Doniana, Barbula
