iriiii; ill Indiana havo boon, in the main. nioaKor 

 repoit. by Professor L. M. Underwood, inclndinK 

 lie county. The writer has had the privilojio of 

 s of mosses that have not been hitliorto reported 

 upon. Those collections include a large number of specimens collected from 

 all parts of the state and it was thought that a list including all those collec- 

 tions together with all thos(> i)roviously reported upon would bo of value in- 

 dicating the presence and distribution of our moss flora. 



Probably one of the largest collections of mos.ses in the state that has not 

 previously been reported is that belonging to Mr. C C. Deam. Mr. Beam's 

 collection includes specimens from nearly every part of the state. The 

 writer has had the privilege of examining and identifying this collection 

 during the past year.* Another large and excellently prepared and pre- 

 served collection is that owned by Pr;;fessor .T. P. Xaylor of DePauw Uni- 

 versity. Although a physicist. Professor Xaylor has been an enthusiastic 

 collector and student of mosses for many years and has built up a large 

 coliecticm mainly from Putnam County. Miss liUcy Allen, a former student 

 at DePauw. made a small collection from Putnam County which is depos- 

 itee! in the DePauw University herbarium. In addition to these three un- 

 repttrted collections all the species reported in puK- •r.^tions on Indiana 

 mosses known to the writer have been included in i. • list which includes 

 one hundred and seventy-four species, thirty-two of which are being re- 

 ported from Indiana for the first time, it is believed. Under each species 

 is given a list of the counties where it has been found together with the 

 collector's name in parenthesis. The arrangement and nomenclature is 

 e.ssentially that of (Jroufs "Mosses With Hand T.ons and Microscoije". 



The following bibliographical list indicates the publications from which 

 lists of mosses have boon taken and incorixjrated in the present report. Pro- 

 fessor Underwood included in his report a few specimens collected by 

 li.iiiies. lilatchloy. Mottier and RiiU. None of the collections included in 

 the following bibliographical list have been seen by the writer with the ex- 

 ception of the one made by Professor Underwood which is deposited in the 

 DePauw T^niversity herbarium.
