A LIST OF SUFFOLK MOSSES. 
By Rev. E. N. Bloomfield, M.A., F.E.S. 
Read 86th February , 1901. 
As no complete list of the Moss Flora of Norfolk has hitherto 
been given, I had thought it might be well to prepare a list of the 
Mosses of Suffolk, which doubtless will for the most part be found 
to occur also in Norfolk. On writing to Mr. 11. X. Dixon, however, 
I found he was preparing a list of Norfolk Mosses; but he suggested 
that I should publish the Suffolk list simultaneously, as it would 
be interesting to compare the two. 
The first completo list of Suffolk Mosses is contained in Henslow 
and Skepper’s Suffolk Flora, which, though concise, is, I think, good 
and reliable. In 1S85 and 1888 I gave, in the ‘Journal of Botany,’ 
nearly all the information I could procure on the “ Moss Flora of 
Suffolk.” These two papers are here combined, and many new 
localities and a few new species added. I am fortunate in possessing 
very trustworthy materials for this enumeration. I have a good 
number of specimens from the late Mr. E. Skepper of Bury 
St. Edmund’s, mostly collected by himself, while some were from 
Mr. F. K. Eagle, also of Bury, and others from Dr. White of 
Lavenham. I have besides these a good many specimens from 
the late Rev. W. M. Hind, LL. D., Rector of Honington, and 
Mr. W. Jordan of Cocktield, and a few gathered by myself in 
East and West Suffolk. All these were verified, and in many cases 
determined by Mr. H. Boswell of Oxford, the Referee of the 
Botanical Record Club, for whom the list was originally undertaken.
