* The following list of Mosses and Hepaticse, collected in 1847 near Santa Fe, New Mexico, by Mr. Fend- 

 ler, will be interesting to the bryologist as indicating the range of species. It is proper to state that Mr. Fend- 

 ler's knowledge of these orders was very limited, and that their collection was with him a secondary object ; 

 also that the adjacent mountains furnished none of the species here enumerated, the valley of the Rio 

 Chiquito, or Santa Fe Creek, being his principal locality. — Atrichum angustatum, Beauv. Barbula mu-
