Some New Species of Australian Mosses 

 described 



v. F. BrotheruE. 



II. 



After having published, about two years ago, the first 

 part of my descriptions of some new species of Australian 

 mosses, I have again had the opportunity of examining a 

 very rich material from that part of the world, and, con- 

 sequently, I am now able to continue my contributions to- 

 the knowledge of its bryological flora. 



Mr. F. M. Bailey has kindly continued to send me, 

 for the purpose of determination, all the species collected 

 by himself in Queensland, as well as those he has received 

 from that country through his friends. Mr. Th. Whitelegge sent 

 me a very rich and beautiful collection from New South 

 Wales and Lord Howe Island. Mr. W. A. Weymouth gave 

 me an opportunity of examining a most interesting mate- 

 rial from different parts of Tasmania, besides which Mr. W. 

 MiCHOLiTz sent me some very interesting species from New 

 Guinea. 



To all these kind correspondents of mine, I hereby 

 beg to express my most grateful thanks. 



About a year ago, my old friend, Mr. A. Geheeb, pro- 

 posed that I should join him in working out the rich collec- 

 tions he had received during the course of several years,.
