In pages 430-432 new habits are given of some rarer mosses, 
as for instance Hypnum turfaceum Lindb., Splachnum 5 spe- 
cies, Dicranum fragilifoliam, Sphagnum Wulfii. S. insulosum, 
Sarcoscyphus sphacelatus, Jungermannia Halleri, etc. 
Note. — My list of papers on Finnish bryology 1 am cons- 
cious nof to be complete, but these are only papers that have 
been accessible to me. Itis to be hoped that some of the many 
bryologists that Professor Lindberg has fostered up in this 
country will be found to be willing to add what may deficient.

Noisr 1873, p. 91-95). 
On the 9% of April 1873 Doctor Berggreen read a note on 
the mossvegetation in Spitzhergen at the meeting of the 
Fysiografical Society at Lund. The speaker held forth the 
importance of an exact examination of the occurrence and 
habitus of each species in polar regions. By examining each 
species, its individual frequency, its luxuriency or depaupe- 
ration, its occurrence in a barren or in a fertile state, the 
species accompanying it, ils peculiar habitus in these regions, 
etc. We learn not only that the species lives in these regions, 
= but also how it lives there ; we also from such researches get 
information of the natural centrum of each species. The 
| mosses are on account of their great power of resistence as 
well as on account of their sticking toughly to the spot where 
“i they were borne very instructive as to the origin of the 
_vegetation in a country, even though they do not so cleurly 
as phanerogamous plants display the finer variations in the 
caracter of a landscape.
