74 Rhodora [April 



tity and well fruited, on ground, lower slopes of Ragged Mt., in North 

 Adams. Fruit just reaching good maturity in early September. 



Thuidium paludosutn (Sulliv.) Rau & Hervey. Swampy place at 

 base in Adams. Sterile. 



Wehera annotina (Hedw.) Schwaegr. This species was detected 

 by Mrs. E. G. Britton, who kindly called my attention to the differ- 

 ence between its gemmae and the corresponding bodies in the case 

 of W. prolij^era. It is a species of very uncommon occurrence and 

 was growing on the bare ground of a moist bank in the Notch. No 

 fruit was seen. 



Wehera cruda (L.) Schwaegr. This species was growing in a 

 similar locality, not far from the last, and was also identified by Mrs. 

 Britton. The plants were fruiting abundantly. 



Webera proligeia (Lindb.) Kindb. Moist banks by roads near 

 summit, also toward base at Adams and in Notch. From the last 

 locality I have a single small tuft showing this species and W. anno- 

 tina intimately mixed togethec The specimens occurring near the 

 summit display regularly much longer, flexuous stems , with distant, 

 darker green leaves, giving superficially a very different aspect from 

 those of lower altitude, which latter, except for the difference of the 

 propagula, closely simulate W. annotina. The present species has 

 been considered uncommon in America, but may readily have been 

 overlooked. In this connection I might mention finding specimens 

 in a similar locality in the mountain town of Florida (Mass.), which 

 bore abundant fruit, the capsules just reaching maturity when col- 

 lected (June 28, 1903). 



Hepaticae. 



Anthoceros laevis L. Small specimen from wet bank in Notch, 

 witli B la si a pusilla. 



Bazzania triangularis (Schleich.) Lindb. {B. deflexa of Manual.) 

 Perpendicular surface of a large rock in woods, middle altitude. Dr. 

 A. VV. Evans kindly identified this specimen. 



Frullania Briitoniac Evans. {F. dilatata of Manual.) On bark 

 of tree in Notch. Also on rock at Bellows Pipe. 



Geocalyx graveolens (Schrad.) Nees. On ground, middle and lower 

 altitudes. Occasionally fruiting. 



Kantia Trichomanis (L.) S. F.Gray. On ground at various points,
