Monterey Bay—A Month on the Shores of. Marshall A. Howe

This second part completes the check-list of North American 
mosses, with 1370 numbers. The resume at the end states that 
675 are endemic; 297 occur in Europe and Siberia; 348 in Europe 
alone, and 12 in Siberia alone; 91 in the West Indies, Mexico, 
or South America, and 76 in Japan. We are sorry for the col- 
lector who attempts to exchange or complete his herbarium with 
this as a basis. We note a certain carelessness of citation, for 
which Macoun’s Catalogue is responsible, asin the case of 7. Hlem- 
mingu, Austin (not L. & J.). We had supposed H/. Bergenense, 
Aust. was a synonymn of #7. hygrophilum (Jur.) Sch., but we find 
both cited as 1230 and 1253. Nos. 1189~119I1 are credited to 
L. & J., not to Austin as they shoyld be, HY. Oakesi, to Schimper, 
not to Sullivant, and 7. Pyrenaicum, which antedates it, according 
to Lindberg, is ignored. 
In fact the whole catalogue shows that we are in need of a 
new American check-list, on the basis of the Rochester Code, in 
which some effort shall be made to sift the good from the bad, 
and the typography shall be less straining to the eyes than the 
one just printed. We shall hope to see it issued by American 
authors. E.G, Bs.
