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.
