While iis a whole the flora of the different bogs is the same, there are 

 yet minor ditlerences between them which 1 have not worked out. 



It is desii-able now to eomjiare with this Hora that of the European 

 " Hoehmoore," and the following- synojisis will make this cleai'. 



The Augustmal moor,' on the Imrder of northeastern Prussia, contains Sphagnum 

 acufi/olium, cyiidii/oliutn, cuspidatum, Scirjjus cdt^pitosK.s, Rhynvliospora alba, 

 Vaccininui O.vycoccus, Eubus Chamamorus, Andromeda polifvlia, Empetrum 

 nigrum, Calluna vidgaris, Lrdum jjalustrr, Bdula pubescent (dwarfed), and 

 groups of dwarfed pines. 



Sendtner (1.5) gives as characteristic plants in Bavaria, Calluna rulgarl.s, Andro- 

 meda jjoli/olia, Vacciniu»! Vitis-Ida'a, Myrfilhis, uligiiia.sum, O.eycorcus, and 

 Pinus j^njndio. 



Senft (Ifi) gives for typical Hochmoore, S2J((g>iiim capillifoliu)n, cus2Jidafum, 

 molluscum, Nnhsecundian as "the first colonists of the future moor," on which 

 grows Calluna vulgaris. Erica. Tetralix, Ledum %)cdtistre, Andromeda polifoliay 

 Myrica Gale, Oxycoccus vulgaris (V. Oxycoccus), E)n2}etrum nigrum, Vaccinium 

 }iliginosu)n, Eriophorum raginafu in. 



Christ (4) gives amongst others for Swiss Hochmoore in the mountains, Pinus 

 montana, Behda nana, Salix aurita, repjcus, Lonicera cceridca,Vaccinium idigi- 

 nosum, Oxycoccus, Myrtillus, Vitis-Idœci, Andromeda, Ccdluna, Empefrum 

 nigrum, ScirjJus ccespitosus, Eriojjliorum alpinnm, vaginalum, gracile, together 

 with many herbs. Six species of Sphagnum build the bog. 



Friih (7b) gives as the three most characteristic plants of the Hochmoore, Sphag- 

 uuui cynibifoliuiit, Eriophorum vaginalum, Ccdluna vulgaris. 



Baumann (1) gives in addition to Sjjhagnum, Calluna vtdgcvris, Ei-iojihoruin 

 vagincduni, Vaccinium uliginosum, Pinus jjumilio. 



The lists given by Fischer-Benzon (.5) show a similar assemblage for the moors of 

 Schleswig-Holstein, especially in the Essinger moor (pp. 9-11). 



Sernaiider and Kjellmark (17) give for the Gottersiitermoor in Province Nerike, 

 Sweden (pp. ;SI9 321), a list of species which includes, among others, Eriophoriun 

 vaginahon, Rubus Chamcemorus, Andromeda polifolict, Einpelruni nigruin, Cal- 

 luna vulgaris, Vaccinium uliginosum. 



Warming (21) gives for the Hochmoore (p. 109), Sphcignum cymbifolium, fuscujn, 

 Austini, rubellum, teres, recurimni, medium ; and Vaccinium Oxycoccus, uligi- 

 nosum, V. ViiiS'lda'a, Andromeda 2^<JlifoHa, Ledum jmlu-stre, Erica Tetrcdix, 

 Calluna vulgaris, Emj)etruni, Myrica Gale, Bubus Channvmorus, etc.; Salix 

 repens and Bel ula, Pi)ius sylvestrns and 23U'milio. 



From the above lists, in comparison witli our own. the following 

 conclusions nia}^ be drawn : 



1st. Tiie flora of our raised bogs is on the wliole very similar to that 

 of the Hochmoore of Kurope. This is to be expected ; for peat bogs, like 



II have not the authority for this list; it is from a translation of a German 

 paper made by the late Edward .lack.
