Mosses and hepatics from Crete 
In the spring of the year 1906 I had the good fortune Lo spend 
a few days in the island of Crete between the 26th April, and the 
10% May. À fortnightis scarcely sufficient time to enable one Lo form 
an adequate idea of the bryological resources of a new country, 
especially when that country is broken and varied and has very 
: indifferent means of communication, as is the case with Crete, 
; but some of the species which I found in this short time seem 
to me of sufficient interest to justify the publicatiôn ofa preliminary 
list, if only in the hope that it may incite some one to investigate 
the mosses of the island more fully. No doubt the list could be 
more than trebled in a season's careful work. \ 
The period of the year was a little late for so southern a climate 
as that of Crete, since the summer drought was beginning to set 
. in, The mosses were drying up for the season and many of the 
; hepatics had already done s0. 
À The portion of the island explored was the neighbourbood of 
Kandia, embracing the shore to the west as far as the village of 
Rhodia and the isolated mountain of Yuktas which rises to an 
elevation of nearly 3,000 feet about seven miles to the south. 
The most productive locality which I lighted upon near Kandia 
was the bed of the Kairatos and the adjacent ravines close to the 
recent excavations at Knoss0s. À journey of four days was also 
made across the island by Axos and the mountain village of 
Anogeia over the shoulder of mount Ida to Kamares, Vori and 
: Gortyna, whence Kandia Was regained by way of Hagia Barbara
