Art. XXXVII. — On some Little-hwivn Neiv Zealand Mosses. 

 By T. W. Naylok Beckett, F.L.S. 



[Read before the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury, 2nd November, 



1892.} 



Since the publication of the "Handbook of the New Zealand 

 Flora" in 1867 many additions have been made to our moss- 

 flora ; and it is the object of this paper to put on record as 

 having been found in New Zealand species which have already 

 been published from other countries.
