208 The Philippine Journal of Science 1914 
(Hook.) Hampe is reported from New Zealand, Tasmania, 
eastern Australia, and New Guinea, but not otherwise except 
from Java and the Philippines. The other three have been 
found in Malaya only in Java, but Trachyloma tahitense Besch. 
has also been collected in Ceylon and Tahiti; Brachymenium 
coarctatum (C. M.) Bryol. Jav. in New Caledonia and New 
Zealand; Philonotis turneriana (Schw.) Mitt. in the Himalayan 
region, Khasia, and the Hawaiian Islands. 
Of the remaining 18, Pogonatum spinulosum Mitt. occurs,in 
Java and China, and Hypopterygium ceylanicum Mitt. in Ceylon, 
Sumatra, and Java. All of the others are found both in India 
and Malaya, and only Philonotis mollis (Doz. & Molk.) Bryol. 
Jav. fails to reach either to the Himalayan region, or to Khasia, 
or to both, ranging to the east as far as Java. Calyptothecium 
tumidum (Dicks.) Fleisch. has the widest distribution of these, 
Nepal to Ceylon and New Guinea. Taking the Himalayan region 
as one limit of distribution, Trachypodiopsis crispatula (Hook.) 
Fleisch. reaches Ceylon, Yunnan, and Halmaheira; Pinnatella 
alopecuroides (Hook.) Fleisch. to Ceylon and Sumbawa; Anomo- 
bryum cymbifolium (Lindb.) Broth. to Amboina; Sphagnum 
cuspidatulum C. M., Acrocryphaea concavifolia (Griff.) Bryol. 
Jav., Papillaria fuscescens (Hook.) Jaeg., and Meteoriopsis 
reclinata (C. M.) Fleisch. to Ceylon and Celebes, the last of 
these also to Formosa. Homaliodendron ligulaefoliwm (Mitt.) 
Fleisch. gets no farther into Malaya than Sumatra, but reaches 
Ceylon, Formosa, and Japan; the remaining six find their Mala- 
yan limit in Java. Fissidens anomalus Mont. and F. schmidtit 
Broth. extend to Ceylon, Brachymenium exile (Doz. & Molk.) 
Bryol. Jav., and Bryuwm ramosum (Hook.) Mitt. to Ceylon and 
Formosa; Rhaphidostegium tristiculum (Mitt.) Jaeg. to Ceylon 
and Indo-China; while Mnium succulentum Mitt. has not been 
reported from Ceylon and on the continent finds its greatest 
eastern extension in Assam. 
Twenty-two non-endemic Mountain Province mosses are not 
found in any part of Malaya, and of these the species of widest 
distribution is that which would be least expected in the Philip- 
pines, for Pohlia elongata Hedw. is found in the colder regions 
or the mountains of Europe and North America; in the Cau- 
casus; in the Himalayas, Yunnan, Amur region, and Japan, in 
Asia; in Algeria and on Kilimandjaro, in Africa; and on Ker- 
geulen Land in the Antarctic. In the one Philippine locality 
where it has been collected, it is not unusual for a thin film of 
ice to form on standing water during the nights of the cooler 
- months of the year, but snow is unknown there as elsewhere in
