335. Fontinalis antipyretica L. 



B., I., Nw. (c). — Fær., frequent. On stones and rocks in streams 

 and on lake-shores, from the sea-shore to ab. 300 m. Only barren. 

 Notified by Landt and T. Syd.; Sando; Vaago; Myggenæs; Str.; 

 Ost.; Nordreoer. 



Very variable in size, habit and colour. A slender, more or 

 less remotely branched, opaque form with small leaves (f. tenuior 

 Cardot) appears to be more frequent than the type. 



336. F. gracllis Lindb. 



B., I., Nw. (c, suba.). — Fær., very rare. On rocks in streams, 

 below 300 m. Only barren. Str.: Mountain W. of Kalbakfjord (!). Ost: 

 Near Molen; Fundinggjov (!). Bordo: Skorene at Gjerdumrejn (O.). 



»F. sqnamosa L.« is notified by H. and T., but no specimens 

 have been met with in the collections. A specimen labelled »Fon- 

 tinalis sqnamosa^? In rivulis alpestribus ad Thorshavn et Ostero« 

 (Lb.) belongs to a form of Blindia acuta! 



337. Antitrichia curtipendula (L.) Brid. 



B., I., Nw. (w. c). — Fær., not rare on exposed rocks on mountain- 

 summits, where it often covers the surface with expanded tufts; in low- 

 lying parts of the isles it is rare and grows here on large stones and 

 exposed rocks, especially in sunny piaces. Only barren. Syd.: Sunimit 

 of Sumbofjæld and Ornefjæld; exposed rocks N. of Trangisvaag, ab. 

 200 m. (!). Sando: Summit of Tindefjæld; shore of Holsavatn, on large 

 stones, ab. 300 m. (!). Vaago: Summit of Rensatinder (!). Str.: Near 

 Thorshavn, on large stones (R., Sm.). Ost: Mountain-siunmit between 

 Fundingbotn and Andefjord (!); on exposed rocks between Ejde and Mo- 

 len, ab. 50 m. (Sm., !). Bordo: Summit of Holgafjæld (O.); Hojefjæld, 

 300 m. (Sm.). Videro: Mornefjæld, 450 m. (O.). Fuglofjæld (O.). 



338. Hedwigia albicans (Web.) Lindb., H. ciliata Hedw. 



B., I., Nw. (c). — Fær., very rare. On large stones in low-lying 

 parts of the isles. Always fr. Syd. (R.). Sando: (R.); near Grothus- 

 vatn (!). Str.: Between Thorshavn and Hvidenæs (!). 



On account of some incorrect determinations and in accordance 

 with a more modern notion of species, the following corrections 

 to some of the older publications are necessary : — 



To no.4. 



Hypnum palustre L. = Amblystegium ochraceum (f uncinata). 



— fluitans L. c. var. pi. = Amblystegium revolvens (two specimens 



in the collections of E. Rostrup). 



— stramineum Dicks. = Amblystegium sarmentosum.
