Weisia crispata Jur. “ After reading a recent article by Mr. H. 
N. Dixon in the ‘Journal of Botany,’ describing this species, and 
recording it from various localities in the North of England, I re¬ 
examined some specimens of a moss which I gathered on our 
Chalk Downs in February, 1898, and then named Weisia tortilis, 
and saw at once, as I had suspected after reading Mr. Dixon’s 
article, that they should be referred to W. crispata Jur. I sent four 
specimens of this gathering to the 1898 distribution of the Club, 
and I should be glad if those members who received the specimens 
would rectify their naming. The specimens when gathered were 
rather immature, none of the lids having fallen, so that I had not 
examined the rudimentary peristome. I was very much puzzled by 
the moss when I gathered it, and decided it was W. tortilis. The 
most noticeable points of difference in the field are the much 
smaller size of W. crispata , which grows in low tufts, and fruits very 
freely, and the fact that the tufts do not become detached from the 
soil as those of W. tortilis. When growing,* the plant looks more 
like W. microstoma than W. tortilis , and on our Downs might 
certainly be overlooked as that plant. W. tortilis is perhaps almost 
as common in Sussex as IV. crispata , but it seldom fruits very 
freely.”—W. E. Nicholson.
