ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY, MICROSCOPY, ETC. 57 



Hepatics of Eisenach.* — P. Janzen publishes a list of the hepatics 

 of the neighbourhood of Eisenach, of which no account had previously 

 been given, though the mosses of the district had been recorded by 

 J. Roll and A. Grimme. Sixty-eight hepatics are enumerated, including 

 Reboulia hemisphserica and Lejeunia calcarea. 



Moss-flora of Zillerthal.f — ■ L. Lorske gives an account of the 

 mosses and hepatics of the Zillerthal Alps, prefaced by remarks on the 

 geology and physical geography of the district. He indicates some of 

 the special moss-habitats in the neighbourhood, and describes several 

 moss-associations which he frequently met with. He obtained a few 

 new varieties or forms, added four species to the flora of Tirol, and 

 detected a score of rarities which are not common in Tirol. He enu- 

 merates about ninety-five hepatics and over 270 mosses, interspersing 

 them with many critical notes and here and there with lengthy argu- 

 ments on difficult questions. 



Mosses of Hungary.f — I. Gyorffy publishes an enumeration of the 

 Sphagnacea? collected by him in the Hohe-Tatra Mountains, and sub- 

 mitted to J. Roll and ti> C. Warnstorf for determination. These comprise 

 seventeen species and numerous varieties, several of which are additions 

 to the Hungarian flora. 



Moss-flora of Moravia. — J. Podpera § publishes notes on the bryo- 

 logy of Moravia, including many species new to the country, and one 

 species and two varieties new to science. The differences between 

 Isopteryijiuin (depression and /. densifolium are carefully detailed. He 

 also describes || the geographical distribution of the Bryophytes of 

 Moravia, and compares them with those of Bohemia. 



Moss-flora of Greece.! — A. Coppey publishes a second contribution 

 to the study of the moss-flora of Greece. His previous paper appeared 

 in 1907. The present addition is based on 320 specimens collected in 

 the plains of Thessaly, in Attica and the Morea, by Rene Maire during 

 April and May 1908. As a consequence the Greek moss-flora is in- 

 creased by thirty species. The total number of hepatics recorded till 

 the present time for Greece is about forty species, while that of the 

 mosses is 215. Some critical notes are inserted in the list, and two 

 species are discussed in greater detail — namely, Cheilotkela chloropoda 

 Lindb. (Ceratodon. chloropus Brid.), the characteristics of which are 

 figured ; and secondly, Mielichhoferia Coppeyi Card., a new species ; and 

 the type of a new sub-genus (Haplodontiopsis). The morphology of 

 this plant is also figured. The author devotes a chapter to the geo- 

 graphical distribution of the Bryophytes in Greece, giving lists of the 

 species found in the Mediterranean province, the northern mountain 

 province, the latter being divided into the lower region (up to 1000
