A. E. GIBBS—NOTES ON MOSSES. 
Braithwaite, Mr. E. M. Holmes, and Mr. H. Boswell. This list 
forms the barest outline only of a County Moss-Elora and is given 
in the hope that more members may be induced to send records. 
The Ouse Basin is divided into two sub-districts drained by the 
Cam and by the Ivel. There are four sub-districts in the Thames 
Basin, viz. Thame, Colne, Brent, and Lea. 
Where no person’s name is attached to the locality, it signifies that 
the moss has been found by myself growing in the spot indicated. 
The mark sp ! signifies that specimens from the locality named have 
been seen by me ; while the mark ! after a record means that I, 
also, have seen the moss growing in the same place. In the 
nomenclature I have followed the ‘ London Catalogue of British 
Mosses.’ 
I am indebted to the following ladies and gentlemen for com¬ 
munications embodied in this list, their surnames being appended to 
their records. In most cases specimens were sent for verification.
