List of Mosses from the Environs of Skagen in Jut- = 
land (Denmark) sr 
The last days of July, 1892, J, in company with Dr. EM 
Arnell from Jünkôping, made some excursions in the environs 
of Skagen (the Shaw), the mosi northern part of Denmark. 
Our excursions extended from the north-point of Denmark Lo 
the Studeli-lakes and Bunken in the southern part. The 
landscape is here very peculiar and interesting, consisting of 
a large sandy plain, only here and there interrupted by sandy 
hills and some small lakes. The plain is perfectly destitule of 
trees as well as of cliffs and larger slones; great parts are 
covered with white flying sand, with no vegetation or à rather 
oor one, while other paris form wide heahs, covered with

pens, elc. ; frequenily the ground becomes mm0ISt, and then 
_the landscape often assumes the character of large moorlands. 
The sandy hills are most frequent along the seashore, but 
also occur in the interior paris of the peninsula, as for 
instance in the environs of the Studeli-lakes, where the 
highest sandhill of these regions may be seen, vIZ. « Studeli- 
Mile », which is 41 meter high. The sandhills are originally per- 
fectly destitute of vegetation nd are in this state called «Miler», 
© but most ot them are now of itself grown over or with great

sand, The lakes are very shallow with sandy bottoms, and 
vary much in size as the season is wet or dry. AS has already 
been said, there are no wild trees 10 be seen in these regions; 
at Skagen there exists, however, a small public garden or 
_ plantation, which was also examined by us, and in which 
_ not a few mosses were observed, that grow on trees or on
