ADDITIONS TO THE NORTH AMERICAN AND EURO- 

 PEAN BRYOLOGY (MOSS-FLORA). 



By N. CONR. KiNDBERG. 



Since the publication of my " European and North American 

 Bryineae (Mosses) described" (1897, December), I have received 

 many mosses, collected by Prof. John Macoiin in the Rocky Moun- 

 tains, 1897, in Cape Breton, 1898, in New Brunswick and Nova 

 Scotia (with Sable Island) 1899 ; by Mr. /. M. Macoiin in Alaska ; 

 by Rev. A. C. Waghome'xn Newfoundland ; by Prof. C. F. Baker 

 in Alabama and Colorado ; by Mr. C. M. G. Machado in Portug^al ; 

 by Mr. F. A. Artaria in Italy; by Dr. H. V. Aniell, Mr./. Persson 

 and Mr. P. Lai'sson in Sweden. 



The results of the new discoveries in America are very interest- 

 ing because of new localities for many species, described by myself 

 as new, sometimes from a sing^le place. Also several ones 

 described as sterile, have been found in a fruiting state. Several 

 species discovered in British Columbia, have since been found in 

 other districts. 



There are also some new species and varieties to be added. 

 A species belonging to the family Hypopterygiaccr, hitherto not 

 found above the Tropic of Cancer, was collected on Queen Char- 

 lotte Islands, situated in lat. 56*^, off the coast of British Columbia, 

 in the Pacific Ocean. 



Some species are new both to America and Europe. 



I will also propose some remarks concerning some families 

 and genera following my treatise " Studien iiber die Systematik 

 der pleurokarpischen Laubmoose," Botan. Centralblatt, 1899, 

 2 and 12.
