_Tortula Hornschuchiana_, _Orthotrichum rupestre_, and _Orthotrichum
Ludwigii_, _Bryum torquescens_, _Eurynchium circinnatum_, and _Eurynchium
striatulum_ have been found by Mr. Mitten only, about Woolsonbury Hill.
The plants growing on chalk, are: _Seligeria calcarea_, on inclined faces
of chalk pits, and occasionally on detached chalk. _Seligeria
calcicola_, in similar situations on Woolsonbury. This is nearly allied
to _Seligeria pusilla_, and has the capsule always ovate. _Anacalypta
caespitoso_ in some seasons is in plenty on Woolsonbury. Only two
localities are known in Sussex, and it is not found elsewhere in Britain.
_Bryum intermedium_ is frequent in chalk pits, and remarkable for having
the fruit on the same tuft in all stages of maturity. _Encalypta
streptocarpa_, Woolsonbury, under beech trees. _Neckera crispa_, on
Woolsonbury and Newtimber; in fruit on the first hill. _Cylindrothecium
Montagnei_, Saddlescombe. _Rhyncostegium depressum_, Newtimber woods.
_Hypnum polymorphum_, Patcham embankment. _Hypnum chrysophyllum_, common
everywhere. _Eurynchium circinnatum_, Clayton.
The clay summits of the hills, as at Woolsonbury, give _Phascum
alternifolium_ and _Weissia mucronata_, and _Physcomitrium fasciculare_
on Pyecombe downs. _Racomitrium canescens_ is frequent in similar
localities, and fruited on Woolsonbury in December, 1858. _Tortula
subulata_ and _Eurynchium hians_ are also frequent, the latter differing
from _Eurynchium Swartzii_, its near ally, in its wider, not acuminate,
leaves.
The stiff soils of the hills furnish _Phascum rectum_, _Phascum
curvicollum_, _Astomum crispum_, _Gymnostomum microstomum_, _Pottia
minutula_, _Anacalypta lanceolata_, _Didymodon luridus_, _Tortula
convoluta_, also _Phascum bryoides_ in disused roads.
A rivulet at Grin Gap, near Newhaven, with its miniature ravine, gives
_Webera albicans_, in fruit, _Trichostomum topnaceum_, and _Hypnum
riparium_.
