Some species the author has gathered for the first time in 
fruit in the Scandinavian peninsula, viz. Hedwigidium im-

The most northern European beech wood is to be seen a 
little in north of Bergen in Norway (60°,37/ n. lat.); it is 
almost 3-400 hectars large only one halfth of the area however, 
being clothed with what may properly be named a wood. 
From this locality the author enumerates 127 musci veri and 
44 hepaticæ, the mossvegetation having nearest an english 
caracter. Hylocomium brevirostre, H. ochraceum, Plagiothe- 
cium undulatum, Pterogonium gracile, Hookeria luceus, 
Fontinalis dalecarlica; Breutalia arcuata, funaria Abnfelti, 
Anomobryum julaceum, Ulota Drammondii, Orthopus bre- 
vifolius, Campylopus 4 species, Sphagnum 8 species, Jun- 
germannia Dicksoni, J. sphærocarpa, J. orcadensis, Masti- 
gobryum trilobatum c. fr. etc. are the most interesting 
species mentioned. 
In the same paper a new citizen of the Scandinavian 
mossflora is introduced, viz Glyphomitrium Daviesii Brid., 
detected in Nordfjord (Norway). si

À record on the vascular plants and mosses in the men- 
tioned northly part of Norway (70° n. lat.). The mosses the 
author found not to be very rich in species; this is attributed 
to : 1) the absence of woods of abies excelsa ; 2) the sunlight 
through the whole day in summer, on which account there 
is no proper shadowed side in the mountains ; 3) the absence 
of dew in the warmest part of the sammer, as the temperature 
in this season is very much the same all the day round ; 4) 
the rounded forme of the mountains, in which on this account 
caverns, fissures or more shadowed places are rare. The 
 mosses in different bryological situations are enumerated.
