Fup. 1908.] MOSSES OF PRINCE CHARLES FORELAND. 329 
Brachythecium udum, Hag.—An Arctic species previously 
known from various localities in the higher mountains of 
Norway. On Prince Charles Foreland it occurs in a smaller 
form markedly decumbent, in very loose tufts, or creeping 
in single individuals among grasses and other higher plants 
in moist sheltered places. Near Vogel Hook, 
Hypnum uneinatum, Hedw.—Occurs in cushions, singly, 
or mixed with other mosses. Two forms are found, one of 
which corresponds to var. abbreviatum, Bry. Kur. The other 
is hitherto undescribed, though known from the shores of 
northern Norway, where it is abundant, but has previously 
been confounded with var. orthothecioides (Lindb.). 
Var. fenewm, n. var. In ewspititibus luteis, laxis, decwm- 
bentibus, raro suberectis viyens, longa/longissima, simplex ; 
folia valde hamata, longe cuspidata; fructus rari. It 
is easily distinguished from var. orthothecioides by the 
long faleate secund leaves. North-west coast near Vogel 
Hook. 
Hypnum revolutum, Mitt.—Male plants in a mixed tuft 
from Vogel Hook. 
Hypnum stramineum, Dicks.—A large tuft of only this 
species, and another in which other species also occur. 
Almost the typical form. Vicinity of Vogel Hook. 
Hypnum sarmentosum, Wahlenb.—Found in tufts with 
other species and also by itself. A single cushion, containing 
only this species, is hardly more than 2 em. high, and is 
glossy with yellow and brown colouring. It contains plants 
varylng in size, some of them approaching the type of the 
species, but the majority of them short, broad, and with less 
leaves, almost agreeing with var. areticum (C. Jens.), from 
which they differ however in the leaves of the branches 
being sharply pointed. But great importance cannot be 
attached to this difference since specimens from Red Bay, 
gathered by Maimeren, in other characters agreeing with the 
Foreland plants, show on one and the same branch both 
obtuse and pointed leaves. The Foreland specimens may 
therefore be referred to the above variety, which it may be 
more correct to name var. pumilum, Milde (Bryol. Siles., 
p- 369), since this seems, from the description, to be the 
Same as var. arcticwi.
