Mosses of the Haute-Saone.* — A. Coppey publishes another instal- 

 ment of his paper on a phytogeographic study of the mosses of the 

 Haute-Saone, giving the distribution of the species of Dicranaceae, of 

 Fissidem, Hymenostomum, etc., with remarks interspersed here and there. 



Hungarian Bryophytes. — V. Schiffner f publishes a list of thirty- 

 three hepaticaj collected by I. Gyorffy in Hungary, and especially in the 

 Hohen-Tatra. A previous list appeared in 1909 in the same periodical. 



M. Peterfi % publishes some critical notes on Hungarian mosses col- 

 lected in the south-eastern part of the kingdom. He writes at considerable 

 length about Philonotis alpkola. 



I. Gyorffy § gives an account of the morphology, anatomy, and 

 ecology of Molendoa tenuinervis Limpr., a rare Alpine moss recently 

 found on the Hohen-Tatra. 



I. Gyorffy || records the discovery of Orthotrichum perforatum 

 Limpr., and of Dicranum groenlaniikuin Brid. in the Hohen-Tatra. 

 They are both additions to the Hungarian flora, and are very rare in 

 Europe. He also calls attention to the occurrence of polycarpophory 

 (two sporogonia in one pericha3tium) in Dialytrichia Brebissoni Limpr. 



South Russian Mosses.! — A. A. Sapehin publishes a list of forty- 

 six species of mosses collected in the Governments of Cherson, Taurida,

 of Sphagnum squamosum in a forest lake near Snamenka on the South 

 Russian Railway. 



Northern Mosses.— H. W. Arnell and 0. Jensen** have prepared a 

 catalogue of the mosses gathered on the Sarek Mountains in Swedish 

 Lapland by A. Hamberg's Expedition. They describe and figure as 

 new two species and three varieties, and also figure other interesting 

 species, and add a chapter on the vegetation of mosses, their frequency, 

 habits, etc. 



V. F. Brotherus tt gives an account of the mosses of the Arctic coast- 

 lands of Siberia, gathered by the Russian North Pole Expedition 

 (1900-3). He enumerates 45 mosses, 3 sphagna and 9 hepatics, and
