Andrews, A. Le Roy, Notes on North American Sphag)ium. 

 I. (The Bryologist. XIV. p. 72— 75. July 1911.) 



The scope of the present series of notes is explained by the 

 writer in an introductory paragraph as follows: "Descriptions of 

 North American species of Sphagimm drawn up for the "North 

 American Flora" call for a number of explanatory details which 

 are byond the scope of that work, and it is my purpose to embody 

 such details in a series of notes, combining them with variou^ 

 suggestions which I trust may be of Service to American bryologists 

 in the study of the genus." 



This first instalment consists mainly of a brief account of the 

 various major classifications that have been proposed and of the 

 characters which have been regarded as of taxonomic importance.

Brother us, V. F. and W. W. Watts. The Mosses of the 

 Yarrangobilly Caves District, N.S.W. (Linn. Soc. N. S. 

 Wales Abstr. Proc. p. IV. June 26 th 1912.) 



In January 1906, Mr. Watts spent a week at Yarrangobilly 

 Caves, and made a large collection of Mosses, which proved to be 

 of exceptional interest. Ten new species are described; and, of the 

 other species enumerated, many are new to New South Wales. 

 The principal feature of the Collection is the evidence it supplies 

 of affinity to the Tasmanian flora, and to that of the Australian 

 Alps. A prefatorj^ Note by Mr. E. C. Andrews, B.A., on the geology 

 of the district, gives added value to the paper. J. H. Maiden.
