ResumoA MEETING of the British Bryological Society was held at Appleby, Westmorland, during April 10-17, under the presidency of Mr. W. R. Sherrin. Thirty-two members attended. Excursions were made to Cross Fell, High Cup Nick, Sunbiggin Tarn and other places in the neighbourhood. Among the many interesting bryophytes seen was the moss Schistostega pennata, which has not previously been found in Westmorland. During the meeting it was decided to enlarge and improve the Society's annual report and to embark on a scheme of co-operative observations on the season of production of sexual organs and sporogonia in various common bryophytes. It is hoped later to extend the scheme to other aspects of the biology of bryophytes.
