PREFACE.
Table of Contents
It is not my desire that this little volume should be looked upon as anything more than what is expressed in the title, simply A Synopsis of the British Mosses,
and as a kind of vade-mecum to the working Bryologist, as well as a guide to beginners. It is not altogether an original work, nor yet is it a mere compilation, for nearly every species has been carefully examined under the microscope before being described, and then the diagnoses compared with other works, principally that great text-book of British Bryologists, Wilson’s Bryologia Britannica.
Besides this work, I have also largely consulted, and drawn from, Bruch and Schimper’s Bryologia Europæa,
Schimper’s Synopsis,
Dr. Mueller’s Synopsis,
the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, the Bulletins of the Royal Botanical Societies of France and of Belgium; and last, but not least, the valuable papers recently contributed by Dr. Braithwaite to Journal of Botany,
Grevillea,
and the Monthly Microscopical Journal,
and also some papers by Mr. Mitten in the first-named publication.
In the general arrangement of the genera and species, I have mainly followed the Bryologia Britannica,
as I did not consider myself justified in departing widely from it, although many of our principal Muscologists look upon it as very faulty; but I did not hold my authority sufficient to alter what has become a classical arrangement amongst us: and more particularly as both Dr. Braithwaite and the Rev. J. Fergusson are engaged upon more critical examinations, prior to the publication of new and more natural arrangements. The Analysis of the Genera is principally founded upon the same part from Wilson, and is intended not as an arrangement, but merely a key.
In the Appendix
will be found a few omitted species, and alterations of nomenclature, as well as a few errata, which should be noted in the margin at their proper places.
I much regret that, by an oversight, I have omitted to insert var. δ squarrosulum under Sphagnum cymbifolium, gathered by my friend Mr. Bagnall, in Sutton Park, Birmingham; and the same locality should be added after Hypnum aduncum, H. Sendtneri, and H. intermedium.
I must here express my gratitude and thanks to those gentlemen who have so kindly assisted me in its preparation, both with the loan or gift of specimens of the rarer and newer species, and also for the diagnoses received from several, where specimens were not attainable. Amongst these gentlemen I must specially thank Dr. Hooker for his kind permission to use the Herbarium specimens and Library at Kew, and Mr. J. G. Baker, F.L.S., for his valuable assistance in doing so; also Dr. Braithwaite, F.L.S., Mr. J. Bagnall, of Birmingham; Dr. F. Buchanan White, of Dunkeld; Dr. Fraser, of Wolverhampton; Rev. J. Fergusson, of New Pitsligo; Mr. Carruthers, F.L.S., of British Museum; Mr. G. E. Hunt, of Manchester; Mr. John Sim, of Strachan; Mr. W. Galt, of Edinburgh; M. P. Goulard, of Caen, Calvados; and lastly, all those gentlemen and ladies who so readily came forward as subscribers to the number of upwards of 200, to assist in the publication of the volume.

NOTICE TO COLLECTORS.
Table of Contents
It is my intention, as soon as sufficient material can be accumulated, to publish A Geographical Distribution of the British Mosses,
and, in furtherance of this object, I should esteem it a great favor if all collectors throughout the kingdom would kindly be at the trouble of forwarding to me, as early as convenient, complete lists of the Mosses found by themselves or their friends, in their several districts, with any notes they may think desirable respecting them, and, where possible, the range and habitat of the various species. I feel sure I have only to mention this to ensure an abundant return of information for a work which is really wanted, and shall, so far as any exertions on my part can ensure it, be really valuable.
