1044 Bryum, same as 1042. double layered lid & all, but not quite so well
marked cells & leaves, & wall cells incrassate, but otherwise same, under
mouth of capsule, also a little Leptobryum?, with rather obscure nerve,
but bottom small leaves bryoid, & with round brown bulblets on roots.
1045 Amblystegium, ? same as 1027, & a little of plant ? same as 1033
1046 Barbula rubella
1047 ? dwarfed 1027
1048 ? Amblystegium serpens, nerve strong, to near apex, & broad below,
leaves smaller, cells much about same, & P inclinata with good peristome.
peristome membrane about 3 cells high, & teeth to 8 cells high, bifid
to trifid, filiform, but usually variously joined below, densely & closely
papillose
1049 Pottia inclinata as above. With Amblystegium, (? serpens) as above,
& a Bryum with pendulum structure of teeth, small mouth, & conical lid,
No inner peristome noticed. Lid double, tiled, annulus cells seem su-
perimposed, from a narrow row of incrassate cells, red. ? double annulus
corresponds to double lid. Leaves much of caespiticium type, rather
narrow cells, well defined border, revolute to near apex, nerve bent var-
iously, strong, well excurrent, & almost smooth
1050 Seems Mnium rostratum
1051 C Brachytheceum salesbrosun, but leaves rather more widely ovate,
not so long a point, & nerve not so strong.
1052 Pottia Heimii & a circinate leaved plant with broad base & plain
though usually dark auricles, & rather narrow cells, nerve broad at base
but not much above base of point. Also ? Amblystegium
1054 C Pottia inclinata, well developed peristome
1053 B Brykmanii, but shows little if any inner peristome. Lid seems
two layered with a third layer ? inside annulus. Annulus two layered
from a layer of interrupted incrassate reddish cells.
1055 Pottia inclinata, variable in size & length of capsule & seta, &
size of plant
1056 C pendulum, seems same as plant in 1049, with thick bent nerve
also a Hypnum, One capsule of Bryum shows not pendulum. Hypnum with
incrassate quadrate cells gradually at bottom, no marked auricles except
1057 Pottia inclinata, c/pr one with inflated cells hyaline. Circinate
1058 Barbul rubella & Brachytheceum, seems near Glareosum,
with very narrow areolation, & marked auricles with quadrate pellucid
thickwalled cells.
1059 Brachytheceum with wider areolation, rather wider leaves, cells laxer
at base, but hardly with auricles, & Ceratodon & Leptobryum, with bulblets
1060 Leptobryum & a little Bryum with well marked appendicular cilia, &
contracted below mouth, leaves hardly recurved, about plain with narrow
row of narrow cells to near apex or sometimes not existant, nerve per-
current or shortly excurrent. Also Amblystegium
1061 Amblystegium, with wide incrassate cells, no alar ones, leaves rather
falcate, nerve broad but soon disappearing, border of leaf with cells
projecting all round.
1062 Seems same as 1059 in fruit & Bryum, with Pendulum inner cells of
peristome, & inner peristome not seemingly appendiculate. Leaves broad-
est just above base, well marked margin of narrow cells, closely recurved,
so as to seem bistratose, cells fairly broad, point almost smooth, excur-
rent.
1063 Bryum of Alpinum group, usually wide celled, with almost obtuse
leaves & nerve bent & percurrent, with plane margin & no narrow cells,
but sometimes nerve slightly excurrent, apex boat shaped, sometimes a
border of narrow cells
QPVT 1065 ? same as 1063, swamp form, with leaves less appressed, usually
sharper pointed, with narrower cells & with often a narrow border, but
all these characters are variable, & it seems as above. With it an hypnum
leaf broadened out from a narrow base, thick nerve, soon vanishing, below
apex, point falcate to circinate, alar cells not well marked, but quadrate
& incrassate, cells narrow.
