tum, Brid.). Moist ground about base of mountain in New Ash- 

 ford and Williamstown. 



Amblystegium compaction, (C. M.) Aust. Decayed spot in tree, 

 Hopper. This is a species of northern range, occurring in New 

 Brunswick, Ontario, British Columbia, and the Rocky Mountain 

 region. Cheney also records it from New York, Pennsylvania, and 

 Wisconsin. It has not before been reported from New England. 

 It is readily distinguished by its serrate leaves and nearly erect 

 capsule, running down into a narrow collum. I first found it about 

 a large knot hole on a maple tree in the very centre of Williamstown 

 village, where it was associated with Leskca polycarpa, Ehrh. and 

 Anacamptodon splachnoides, (Froehl.) Brid., both uncommon spe- 

 cies, the latter particularly so. 



Amblystegium hispidulum, (Brid.) Grout. {Hypnitm hispidulum, 

 Brid.) About base of trees in woods. Lower slopes, New Ashford. 



Amblystegium irriguum, (Wils. ) Br. & Sch. Stones and ground 

 about brooks. Lower altitudes in Williamstown and North 

 Adams. 



Amblystegium serpens, (Hedw.) Br. & Sch. Moist ground, lower 

 slopes in Goodell Hollow. Not common. 



Anomodon rostratus, (Hedw.) Sch. Moist rocks, near base in New 

 Ashford. 



Buxbaumia indusiata, Brid. 1 am indebted to Dr. G. N. Best for 

 the identification of this specimen, as also for information with 

 regard to its occurrence in New England. The only reference to 

 such occurrence is a statement in Jaeger's Adumbratioto the effect 

 that it was collected in the White Mountains by Oakes and dis- 

 tributed, mixed with B. aphylla, L. by Sullivant. Since it became 

 known to American bryologists in 1890, it has been found in 

 Idaho, Washington, and in the Catskill and Adirondack regions 

 and about Ithaca, New York, but not hitherto in New England. 

 It is generally a native of mountain regions and even where found 

 is less abundant than the commoner B. aphylla. I was unable to 

 find more than the one specimen, which was growing from a 

 decayed spruce log at middle altitude. 



Climacium Amcricanum. Brid. Damp ground in Hopper. Leaves 

 from different parts of the same plant showed very different areo- 

 lation, it being in some cases typical, in others very short, approach- 

 ing that of var. Kindbergii s R. & C, though the plants were all 

 dendroid.
