LIST OF SUFFOLK MOSSES. 
Mr. H. N. Dixon published some additions to the Suffolk list 
in the ‘Journal of Botany’ for 1885 and 1886, and kindly sent me 
specimens of most of these additions. The Herbarium formed by 
Mr. E. Skepper was sent to the Rev. James Fergusson of Fern 
Brechin, who carefully examined it, and sent me copious notes on 
the specimens contained in it. Sir Charles Bunbury of Barton 
Hall, near Bury St. Edmund’s, bequeathed his Herbarium to the 
University of Cambridge, and it is now in the Botanical Museum 
there ; it contains many Suffolk Mosses collected by himself, while 
Mr. Eagle’s collection of Mosses is also incorporated with it. 
Several of Mr. Eagle’s specimens in this Herbarium have notes 
and drawings appended by Mr. Wilson, the author of ‘ Bryologia 
Brittanica,’ while the names of a few others are corrected by him. 
The late Mrs. Skepper very kindly presented to the Cambridge 
Botanical Museum over twenty letters from Mr. Wilson to 
Mr. Eagle, in which is much information on specimens in 
Mr. Eagle’s collection. I have therefore quoted from these letters. 
The late Dr. Hind very kindly sent me a list of all the Suffolk 
Mosses contained in Sir Charles’ Herbarium with their localities, 
but it has not been examined by any specialist. Hence Mr. Eagle’s 
and Sir C. Bunbury’s species are given as named in the Herbarium. 
I have also quoted from the ‘Old Botanists’ Guide’ (0. B. G.), 
from the ‘Natural History of Yarmouth’; from Henslow and 
Skepper’s ‘ Suffolk Flora,’ &c. 
The parishes of Tuddenham and Wangford mentioned in this 
list are the parishes of those names in West Suffolk, both lying in 
the sandy tract to the North-west of the County, usually known 
as the Breck District. 
Mr. Skepper’s and Dr. White’s specimens were, I believe, mostly 
collected about the years 1858 to 1862 ; Mr. F. K. Eagle’s and 
Sir Charles Bunbury’s in the first half of the last century. The 
Western Division of the County has been fairly well searched ; but 
the Eastern Division has only been examined, to any extent, near 
Yarmouth, by such good observers as Sir W. Hooker, and Messrs. 
Turner, Dickson, &c., early in the last century. 
Several Herbaria, as, for instance, Mrs. Casborne’s at Troston 
Hall, contain specimens of Suffolk Mosses, but as they have not 
been properly examined I do not generally quote them. The
