mountain-groups. He finds that the northern boundary of the Medi- 

 tei'ranean type of inoss-flora does not agree with that of the phanerogams. 

 He gives field-notes on the various passes and valleys traversed. The 

 number of species and varieties enumerated is 156 mosses and 38 hepatics. 



Austrian Mosses.* — I. Gyorffy gives an enumeration of mosses col- 

 lected by G. E. Nyarady in Hungary, (ialicia, Bosnia, and elsewhere. 

 Among them are sonic five species new to the Hungarian flora. 



Tyrolese Hepatics. f — AY. Wollny, in a posthumous paper, gives an 

 account of the much neglected hepatic flora of the Kitzbuhel Alps in 

 Tyrol. The range consists almost exclusively of crystalline slate, and 

 has but few patches of calcareous rock. A few species were collected 

 long ago by Sauter and Breidler on the eastern slopes. The number of 

 species now recorded amounts to 99, and includes such rarities as Pelto- 

 lepis grandis, Hygrohiella laxifoJia, Eremonotus myrlocarpus. The mate- 

 rial was revised by K. Muller (Frib.). 



Hungarian Hepatics. J — V. Schifl'ner publishes a third paper on the 

 hepatics of Hungary and Galicia. The hepatic flora of the Hohen Tatra 

 shows greater affinity to that of the Alps than to that of the Sudeten. 

 Schiffner gives lists of species new to Hungary and new to the Hohen 

 Tatra. Several interesting forms are described in detail. Bucegia 

 romanica occurs in the Hohen Tatra at altitudes of from 4700 ft. to 

 7500 ft. The collections were made by Gyorffy, who has made accurate 

 records of localities. 



Tortella squarrosa in Hungary. § — M. Peterfi records the occur- 

 rence of Tortella squarrosa in the Hungarian Alfold. It is a species of 

 the Mediterranean type, with a distribution reaching to the Caucasus,. 

 Persia, Himalaya, and Yunnan ; to the Azores and Canaries ; to Texas 

 and Tennessee ; also to England and Gotland. Its occurrence in the 

 Rhine Valley, Lower Austria, the Harz, Bohemia, Moravia, and in the 

 Alfold, is to be treated as an extension, since here it is only sporadic 

 and sterile. 



North American Bryophytes.|| — A. Le Hoy Andrews publishes a 

 second chapter of notes on North American Sphagnum, and treats of the 

 characteristics of the sub-genus Inophhra, in which there are four North 

 American species. Critical notes on these are given by the author. 



R. S. WilHamsIF records the occurrence of the Japanese Mnium 

 flageUare in Alaska, and describes some of its peculiarities. 



H. S. Jewett ** shows that Hedwigia albicans is not a strictly silici- 

 colous moss, but grows on limestone in Ohio and Minnesota. 



G. H. Conklin ft publishes notes on the distribution of Lophozta 

 Kaurini and L. Baueriana and some allied species.
