The content is structured to serve both experienced bryologists and beginners, featuring a systematic arrangement of species along with localities for rarer varieties. An appendix addresses additional species and nomenclature updates. The author expresses gratitude to contributors and emphasizes the importance of collaboration in moss collection and study, aiming to enhance the understanding of moss distribution across the region.

NOTICE TO COLLECTORS.

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.
