 on rocks below the Riffel Alp, c, fr. 



Taylor ia serrat a, Br. Eur. Loose earth by the path bet- 

 ween Zermatt and the Riffel Alp, c. fr.

 bourhood of Zermatt and fruiting by the small stream from 

 the Riffel Alp. — T. bavarka^ Ilessl. Earth under rocks 

 about Zermatt and Diablerets, c. fr. 



Webera longicolla^ lledw. Rock crevices in the Zmutthal, 

 Zermatt, c. fr. — W . Liidwigii, Schp. A form approaching 

 the var. latifolia^ Schp. near the Gandegg Ilut above Zer- 

 matt at an elevation of over 9000 feet. — W. comviutala^ 

 Schp. var. calemdata, Dixon. A. slender yellowish form 

 which M. Cardot is inclined to refer to this occurred on 

 sandy detritus among rocks near the foot of the Corner 



Glacier. 

 Brynm pendulum^ Schp. Perhaps the commonest species 



of Bryum in the district, especially at an elevation of bet- 

 ween 7000 and 8000 feet, where most of the specimens 

 approached the var. compactum Schp. — B. elcgans N. v. E. 

 In a large pale sterile tuft near the summit of the Rocher

 yellow tufts in sandy detritus among rocks near the foot of

 catenulata. 



Mniiim orthorhgnchumj Br. Eur. Not uncommon in the 

 subalpine region with fruit at GUon and Les Plans. 

 M. Igcopodioides^ Hook. On a rock under the shade of a 

 lime tree close to the village of Les Plans on the way to the 

 Pont de Nant, c. fr. This species appears to be rare in the 

 district, since I could only find it in this one place, which 

 is evidently the locality described by the late Prof. Philibert 

 (Rev. Bryol. 1893, p. 2). The capsules were poor and injured 

 by the drought, but as pointed out by Prof. Philibert in 

 his excellent diagnosis they at once distinguish it from 

 M. orthorhgnchum. It is more likely to be mistaken in the 

 field for M. serraltim^ llie capsules of which are very similar 

 in sliape and in the areolation of the exothecium. — i/. spi- 

 nosum^ Schwaegr. Above Glion and Diablerets common, 

 c. fr. — 37. slenare^ Reich. Rulteu stumps near Glion and

 near the summit of the Tete du Moine above Diablerets : a 

 single tuft only, which agrees well with Norwegian speci- 

 mens. — ^M. hymenophylloides^ Iliibcn. Earth under rocks 



near the Cascade du Dard, Diablerets, sparingly.
