130. Kashyap, S. R. Distribution of liverworts in the western Himalayas. Jour. Indian 

 Bot. 1 : 149-157. 1920. — The author brings together the experience of a number of collecting 

 trips into various parts of the western Himalayas. Liverworts occur at altitudes ranging 

 from 700 feet on the plains to 13,000 feet. Thallose forms predominate. The number of 

 species and individuals increases from the plains up to about 7000 feet, then decreases with 

 higher altitudes; they decrease also in passing from east to west. The outer ranges are 

 richest in species and individuals, the higher middle range stands next, the inner high range 

 has very few, while beyond the inner range there are none. The outer or southern slopes are 

 richer than the inner ones. A total of about 75 species is recorded. Lists of species are given 

 for the various localities; Mussoorie, 78° 5' E. Long., 30" 27' N. Lat., altitude 6-7000 feet, 

 stands first with 42 species. — Winfield Dudgeon.
