 the chair,- — six gentlemen were balloted for and elected members of the

 presents to the library were announced. A paj)er was read by Dr. R. 

 Braithwaite, F.L.S., " On the Geographical Distribution of Mosses in 

 Europe," which was for the purpose divided into three zones in latitude, 

 viz. the Ai-ctic, from the Pole to 60° N. ; the Middle, from 60° N. 

 to 46° N.; and the Southern, extending from 46° N. to the shores of 

 the Mediterranean Sea. In altitude, five zones were also described, with 

 the classes of mosses to be found in each. The general aspects of 

 mosses in nature, with their habitats, as well as the ferns frequently 

 associated with them, were also touched upon by Dr. Braithwaite, who 

 concluded his very interesting paper with a quotation of much beauty 

 from the pen of Mr. Ruskin. The paper was illustrated by a large 

 collection of dried specimens, mounted together according to their 



* Tliose with the asterisk before their names were not before members of
