ee levels, though we found time for a Lornoé visit to the rich district 
__ between Algund and Gratz and the Vellauer Thal near Meran, but 
nine days were spent at Sulden and six at Heiligenblut. 
_ Situate at an elevation of over 6,000 feet and surrounded by the 
_ magnificent peaks of the Ortler group, Sulden is one of the best 
_places in Europe, outside of Switzerland, for a prolonged visit at 
a high altitude and it proved unexpectedly rich in mosses. Perhaps 
the best locality which we discovered in its neighbourhood was 
the Zaithal, the productiveness of which compared very favourably 
= with that of the more famous Leiterthal near Heiligenblut, in 
which we expected to find so much and were destined to gather 
so little. The lower part of the Zaithal presented but little of 
É interest, but towards the upper end two great masses of rock 
form bands across the valley ; the lower one is clearly an old 
terminal moraine, while the upper one immediately below the 
. Düsseldorfer hut is a belt of hard rock and in the moist crevices 
of this we found among other things : Barbula icmadophila, 
_ Bryum maleteinorum, Bartramia subulata, Didymodon rufus, 
= Orthotrichum Killiasii and Oreoweisia serrulata. 
Heiligenblut with its picturesque church and the magnificent 
view of the Gross Glockner behind it is one of the most charmingly 
situate of villages and probably but few richer or moreinteresting 
localities for mosses can be found than the famous Güssnitz Fall 
close by. Here huge tufts of Molendoa Hornschuchiana and Geheebia 
gigantea luxuriate with Didymodon ruber, Amblystegium curvicaule, 
Hypnum procerrimum and other mosses in the spray of the fall. 
After the Güssnitz Fall the most productive excursion which we 
made from Heiligenblut was to the Franz Josef Hühe above the 
Pasterze glacier at an elevation of about 8,000 feet. Among the 
interesting mosses gathered on this route were Oreas Martiana, 
_ Grimmia anomala, G. andreaeoides, Encalypta  apophysata, 
Desmatodon obliquus and 7rematodon brevicollis. 
The moss flora of part of the district has recently been dealt 
with exhaustively by Dalla Torre and Von Sarnthein in « Die 
moose von Tirol, Voralberg and Liechtensteih » (Innsbruck 1904) 
and the bracketed initials in the following list indicate that the moss 
has not been recorded from the district in question in that list.
