Notes on a Bryological Tour in the Pyrenees 
During a visit to the Central Pyrenees in the summer of 1902, 
by Mr W. E. Nicholson and myself, a certain number of mosses 
were collected that seemed to be of sufficient interest to be worth 
recording. Our centres were principally three, viz. Bagnères-de- 
Luchon (Haute-Garonne), Gavarnie and Cauterets (Hautes-Pyré- 
nées). 
ghtful spots in the neighbourhood of Luchon is a locus classicus 
conspieuous. We found however little else of interest in the

= The woods in the valley below Luchon proved somewhat disap- 
_ pointing, which was perhaps accounted for in part by the extre- 
. mely dry, hot scason. We spent the greater part of two days in an 
ineffectual search for Anacamptodon splachnoïides in the forêt de 
 Sode, where according to Husnot itis « assez abondant » in damp 
hollows on stems of trees, principally beech. Béech trees were 
found in plenty, not a few with holes in their stems, but of 
moisture or of Anacamptodon not a trace! Almost the sole moss 
we gathered of any interest was a capsule or two of Buxbaumia 
indusiata, a plant which though looked for in all likely spots: 
eluded us during the remainder of our visit. | 
The pine and beech woods on Superbagnères proved slightly 
. more productive, although here too there was lacking the abun- 
_ dance of moss vegetation usually associated with woods in the 
 fallax, but these were the best among a not very distinguished “+
