A few remarks on the geographical distribution of the species 
which appear to have been hitherto unreċorded for the state may be of 
interest. : 
Jungermannia quinguedentata is recorded for Greenland, Labrador, 
Gaspé, Ontario, Manitoba, Rocky and Galton Mountains, and, in a 
general way only, for New England. It is also found in Europe and 
Asia. No description of this plant is found in any of our American 
manuals. It is closely related to J. daréata — one of our most com- 
mon hepatics — and many authors doubtless still consider it a form of 
that species, though recent writers generally segregate several closely 
related species, as is pointed out by Dr. Evans.? 
J. Michauxii is recorded for Gaspé, Nova Scotia, Ontario, British 
Columbia, and Virginia. It was collected by the writer, in August, 
1896, near the summit of Mt. Bigelow, Me., and again at Jerusalem, 
Me., a few days later. It also occurs in northern Europe. 
J. minuta ranges through northern Europe, Asia and America. 
Recorded from Greenland, Labrador, New England (no state men- 
tioned), Western Ontario, Rocky Mountains, and Alaska. This was also 
collected near the summit of Mt. Bigelow, Me., in August, 1896. 
Pogonatum capillare is a plant of temperate and arctic regions. It 
occurs in Asia, northern Russia, and Scandinavia. In America, it is 
recorded for Alaska, Greenland, Newfoundland, Miquelon, and for 
several of the higher mountains in the northern United States, Mt. 
Mansfield, White, Adirondack and Rocky Mountains. | 
The occurrence of all these species in Maine is not unexpected, as 
the known distribution of each would indicate, in a general way, that it 
might be expected in the state. It is not unlikely that some of these 
species may have been collected in Maine by other botanists, but if
