Besides these we have several others yet unnamed, or in small quantity. 
We subjoin the names of a few of the more handsome species, some of which, 
however, can only be met with in highland districts ; but as parties are engaged 
in collecting, they will doubtless be as easily procured as any other plant =■

Didymodon Bruntoni, flexifolius ; Fontinalis antipyretica ; Hypnum cordifolium,

We might swell out this list with many more beautiful things, but these are 
sufficient for the present. Those kinds which are not easily obtained in quantity 
might possibly be reared by shedding the sporules (seeds) in situations similar to 
those which they naturally occupy. Some species, however, would require a long 
time to arrive at perfection in this way ; and few of the rare species produce 
capsules freely. 
A very small space would be sufficient for the management of a numerous 
collection, and most gardens possess a suitable shady nook. All that would be 
required, would be merely a few yards of a bank having a northern aspect, pro-
