34 Rhodora [FEBRUARY ` * 
During the Dover meeting of the Josselyn Society in 1897, one day 
(July 9) was devoted to an excursion to Mt. Kineo, at Moosehead 
Lake (Piscataquis Co.). The party arrived, by steamer, at the Kineo 
landing at twelve o'clock, and departed again at two, thus leaving but 
a very limited time for collecting on the mountain, which is situated 
about fifteen or twenty minutes’ walk, perhaps, from the landing-place. 
Only four of the party made any attempt to gather mosses. Of these 
Mrs. M. L. Stevens and Mr. M. L. Fernald collected along the base of 
the cliff, while Mr. E. B. Chamberlain and the writer ascended the 
mountain by the artificial steps, thence along the path leading to the 
* Jook-off " at the top of the cliff. 
Between fifty and sixty specimens were collected, representing 
nearly half as many species. Following is the list, the Hepatice hav- 
ing been kindly determined by Dr. Evans. The last species has not, 
to my knowledge been hitherto recorded for the state. A few doubt- 
ful specimens are not included.

This list undoubtedly gives but a poor idea of the bryophyte flora 
of the mountain, except perhaps in the case of the commoner species, 
owing to the limited time for collecting. As stated above, however, it 
may serve as a basis for a more careful exploration, and other collectors 
who have more time at their command will doubtless find other and 
less common species in this easily accessible region. 
Another mountain, much more difficult to reach than Kineo, is 
Saddleback Mountain, in Franklin County. This was visited on August 
17, 1895, by Mr. Fernald, who collected six mosses and five hepatics 
at the summit, about 4,500 feet altitude. The list, which follows, is
