I have made longer travels for this purpose also in 
Norway (9 summers in the alpine district), in the Pyrenees 
1855, in northern Italy 1888, in the Switzerland 1888, 
1889, 1892 and 1895, also several times in Germany.

from many bryologists. Many typical specimens, collected 
by Austin, Berggren, Bottini, Breidler, Brotherus, Cardot, 
Drummond, Hartman, Howe, James, Lesquereux, Levier, 
Lindberg, Lorentz, Milde, Philibert, Renauld, Roell, Schim- 
per, Sullivant, Venturi, Zetterstedt and others, have been 
very useful. 
I have also received larger collections by D:r C. 
Mueller (mostly exotic species), Mr J. Husnot (Musci Gallize), 
the Rev:d A. C. Waghorne (about 1,000 specimens from 
Labrador and N. Foundland) D:r V. F. Brotherus (mostly 
from Finland), D:r E. Levier (from Spain and Portugal), 
Mr J. M. Macoun (from Alaska), D:r T. Heldreich (from 
Greece), Prof. J. Arcangeli (from Italy), Messrs G. A. Holt 
and T. Rogers (from Britain) D:r R. Gyllencreutz (from 
Spetsbergen). : 
I wish therefore to thank sincerely my friends and 
correspondents for valuable assistance, especially D:r Mueller, 
which had the benevolence to examine the greater part 
of my new American species. (more than 200), and Prof. | 
. Macoun, having sent about 7,000 specimens, collected in 
— N. America in long travel: during many years.
