the cells from F. adiantoides, while Mitten’s specimen at Kew is 
certainly F. decipiens! So one cannot well form an opinion of 
what F. collinus really is, but I hardly think this quite agrees with 
Mitten’s description.” — H. N. Dixon. 
F. -? Wet rocks, Bridge End Glen, Co. Donegal, Mar., 
1900. J. Hunter. “ Apparently bears a close resemblance to 
F. Curnowii, and grew in a similar habitat to that shown in the 
Moss Flora.”—J.H. “ I think undoubtedly F. Curnowii." —J. A. 
YVheldon. “ Is, as suggested, F. Curnowii ”—R. H. Meldrum. 
F. adiantoides L. a large form. Derrymore River Glen. Kerry, 
22 April, 1899. FI. W. Lett. “This large sub-aquatic dark green 
form is frequent in Yorks, and Lancs., and often much larger than 
these specimens, which are not unusually large for the species.” — 
J. A. Wheldon. 
Grimmia apocarpa var. gracilis W. & M. Gorges de la Diosaz, 
Hte. Savoie, 23 Aug., 1899. J. Stirling. “According to speci¬ 
mens and descriptions, this var. is much more slender and elon¬ 
gated than the Savoy plant, which seems to be a pruinose form of 
G. apocarpa. Perhaps the best name for it is var. incana mentioned 
in the Moss Flora.”—R. H. Meldrum “Agrees with var. gracilis 
in the short secund capsules and slender habit. I should consider 
it a somewhat stunted form of that, not knowing var. incana .”— 
J. A. Wheldon. 
G. torquata Hornsch. Ben Lawers, Perthshire, July, 1899. 
Messrs. Dixon, Nicholson & Salmon. 
G. trichophydla Grev. Groby Road, Leicester, March, 1900. 
A. B. Jackson. “ I see no reason for so naming this. I should 
say Barbula cylindrical' —R. H. Meldrum. “ Is Barbula cylindrical'

G. patens B. & S. c. frt. Ben Lawers, Perthshire, July, 1899,

Rhacomitrium protensum Braun? Settle, 18 Aug., 1899. J. B.

Tortula marginata , Spr. Walls of Ashley Mill, near Bowdon, 
Cheshire, Oct., 1881. G. A. Holt. Com., T. Barker. 
Tortula Icevipilai Zermatt, Switz., 2? June, 1899. 
Barbula -? Zermatt, Switz., 18 June, 1899. 
“ On first examination of these species I was inclined to refer 
them to Tort mucronifolia, Schwgr., but on looking up the species 
in Boulay I thought that both might be referred to his var. integri- 
folia of subulata. I therefore referred both specimens to Mr. 
Dixon, who reports on them as follows :—‘ I should think you are 
right in referring the Swiss Tortula to T. subulata var. integrifolia 
(Boulay), certainly the Zermatt one, which inter alia has the cells 
decidedly papillose. The Andermatt plant seems a nearer approach
