Very close to B . acuta and resembling it in areolation, but in the latter
the lamina narrows more gradually and runs up to the middle of leaf ;
the nerve is rounder and more rigid, and the tufts are generally black at
base. It has also been found in Madeira and the Caucasus, and with
fruit in the Riesengebirge, and in Corsica by Philibert, but these are only
i the height of British specimens.

CAMPYLOPUS ATROVIRENS.
Var. y. epilosus Braithw.
Plants more slender, with softer narrower more patent leaves, the attenuated
subula without any hyaline point.

Another moss of this genus from Jersey, is referred by Mr. Boswell with a
? to Cawpylopus adustus D e N ot. of which we have no specimens for comparison.
W e have little doubt however that the Jersey plant is a form of
C. introflexus, with the hair-points very short or altogether wanting.
CAMPYLOPUS SUBULATUS.
Var. /S. elongatus Bosw.
In wide dense pale yellowish-green tufts. Stems tall, slender i— ain. long,
radiculose at base. Leaves more distant, of thinner texture, with a more
elongated subula.

The aspect of this moss is very different from the ordinary state, and this
may be greatly due to the locality in which it was found, for the stems show
3 years growth and are full of fine sandy deposit from the river ; tt is probable,
therefore, the elongation of the stem is due to an effort of the plant to escape
suffocation.
CAMPYLOPUS PARADOXUS.
This has turned up in several localities, and in such varied forms that it is
clear it must be reduced to a variety of C. fle.ntosus.

Moorland near Wolford, Stour valley, Warwick, sterile (Bagnall, May 30th, 2887) ! !
It is with great pleasure that at the last moment I am able to insert this
mterestmg discovery by my valued friend, Mr. Bagnall, for it seemed strange
indeed that a plant common through all Europe and N. America should be
