Musci and Lichenes were placed in the hands of Mr. Thos. P. James^ 

 the excellent cryptogamist, who has returned them with the following note : 

 "I return the Musci and Lichenes from Dr. Hayes' Arctic expedition. I have 

 named them as best I could, from their imperfect condition , not a single 

 fruiting specimen was to be found in the entire collection 1 This fact rendered 

 their determination the more difficult. Several, which I could not determine,, 

 may be new species, but they were not in a state clearly to be analyzed.*" 



Arctic Greenland species of Pedicularis : "P. Kami of Durand does not belong to P. Sudetica, as 

 Dr. Hooker supposed, but to P. lanata, Willd. ; which again, contrary to Bentham and Hooker, I 

 mast regard with Bunge as clearly different from hirsuta of Linuseus; it is much nearer another 

 species which Dr. Hooker refers to Suddica, viz : Langsdorffii, with which it has been confused; 

 but it is perfectly edeutulate. The teeth of the latter, however, are inflexed, and so 7nay escape 

 observation. All these species are well discriminated by Bunge, in Ledebnur's Flora Possica. 



* Drupe red, stems apparently smaller and more decumbent than in E. nigrum, from which it 

 does not otherwise differ. Dr. Kane's specimens belonged probably to the same form; but having 

 no fruit on, I referred them, naturally, in my Plantie Kaneanne, to Empetrum nigrum. 



It is a remarkable fact of geographical botany, that this red-fruited species, originally found on 

 the shores of the Strait of Magellan, should appear again at the opposite extremity of the American 

 continent. Messrs. LaPylaieaud Tuckerman met with it in Newfoundland, and, quite lately. Abbe 

 Ferland, a Cathmlic missionary of the Laval University of Quebec, found it likewise on the coant of 

 Labrador, together with Empetrum nigrum.
