THE MOSSES OF THE UPPEK DOVEY. 331 The list does not pretend to be exhaustive, but, as the district does not appear to have been previously worked, it seemed not undesirable to publish an enumeration of those Mosses which have hitherto been found. The list contains 208 species and 22 varieties, collected from an area of about 16,000 acres. I am indebted to the Rev. H. G. Jameson and Mr. Holt for having kindly verified the naming of the species and varieties in the collection. The nomen- clature followed is that of the London Catalogue of Mosses.
