_ Meteorium, Cyrtopus setosus and Zoopis argentea were han- 
_ ging, the last species in many forms, eacb form having its 
_ proper region of distribution. On moist places near to the 
lake of Toupo species of Hypnum, Thuidium and Campylo- 
pus were the most common mosses. In kigher plateaus Poly- 
tricha, Tortulæ and some new hepatics occurred. At the 
limit of all vegetation in the bigh mountain Ruapaha mosses 
belonging to the genera Andreæa, Rhacomitrium, Polytri- 
chum, Leptotrichum. Distichium, Conostomum, Gymnomi- 
trium and Jnngermanniæ were gathered, here those occur- 
ring in similar situation in Europe.

Student Aagaard, that in 1871 visited the named artic 
countries, delivered his collection of plants (vascular plants, 
mosses, lichens and algæ) to the botanical museum of the 
University of Christiana. Of mosses there was in the collec- 
tion 24 species, àämongst which Splachnum Wormskjoldii, 
Hypnum Heufleri, H. Bambergeri, H. sarmentosum var. fus- 
cescens J. Vahl (in Flora Danica, tab. 2748), perhaps are 
the most interesting.

The author in 1875 visited the environs of the river Svir 
in Russia. Many interesting introductory notes are given on 
the landscape, its vascular plants, mosses and lichens. At 
the mouth of Svir the coast of Ladoga is low and plain, con- 
sisting of moorlands and further off from the coast covered 
with neddlewoods. A swedish mile ap the river the banks 
= becomes drier and higher and are clothed with Pinus silves- 
tris or with leaved woods and Salices. When the small town 
__ Ladejnoje Pole has been passed, the landscape is more va- 
_ ried; a great many hills ornamented by young birchwoods, 
_ meadows, fields and numerous villages form a fine picture to 
the passersby on the river. Six miles from Onega the ca- 
_ racter of the landscape changes once more, the banks are 
_ plain and covered with fine woods to the greatest part con- 
sisting of Populus, Tremula and Pinus Abies; further to the 
_east there are to be seen wide moor lands with few dispersed 
trees of Pinus silvestris. Near to the Onega the author in his 
= journey for the first time saw a small rock of primitive origin; 
= in tbe lower parts of the river red sandstone at times was
