• The reason for giving two distinct lists of mosses is tliis :— Mr. Theobald sent me a list of mosses 

 collected by the late Mr. Kurz and named by two German Bryologists — Miiller and Hanipe — for 

 combination with my owm. On comparing the two, I was struck by the remarkable fact that in no 

 single instance were the names identical ! It naturally forced itseli upon my mind that, at least in 

 some cases, different names must have been given to the same plants. As I was quite unable to 

 combine the two lists, I had recourse to my old friend Mr. Mitten (already mentioned), who kindly 

 undertook the task. After a delay of some weeks, this second list, as here presented, combining Mr. 

 Kurz's collection and mine, ;vas returned to me. But — such appears to be the unsettled nomenclature 

 of Bryology— I was unable to recognize many of my old friends in their new dress ! In many instances, 

 the old familiar names had vanished, and new and unfamiliar names were substituted. The order, 

 moreover, and arrangement were seen to he different. Therefore, as my remarks on this family of 

 Plants were already ivritten, I have thought it best to give my own List, as originally arranged by Mr. 

 Mitten himself some years ago ; and, next, the combined list according to the new arrangement. By 

 way of accounting, in some measure, for the remarkable discrepancy between Mr. Kurz's mosses and 

 mine, I may mention, that mine were wholly collected in the Tenasserim Provinces, and Mr. Kurz's 

 in Pegu and Upper Burma. — P.
