cephalum, also mentioned by him, was there in profusion, 
and in all stages of growth. 
The present instalment brings the number of Bryophyta 
I have collected on the May up to forty-four; 7.e. Musci 
thirty-five, and Hepatic nine. Several of the species 
recorded in my former list were this year met with in 
other spots, showing them to be more common than I had 
thought. Ihave again to thank Messrs. Dixon and Maevicar 
for kindly examining a number of my specimens. 
SUPPLEMENTARY NOTE ON MOSSES OF PRINCE CHARLES 
FORELAND, SPITZBERGEN. By H. N. Drxon, M.A., 
ELS. 
A small packet of mosses collected on the above island 
was put into the hands of Mr. J. Hunter by an assistant 
who accompanied Dr. Bruce on the expedition of 1906-7. 
These Mr. Hunter handed to me for examination, with the 
remark that they were sent just as he had received them, 
and consisted only of four or tive species probably, with 
apparently very little interesting about them except in so 
far as they came from a hitherto unexplored tract. On 
examination J found that about eight species were repre- 
sented, mostly of the usual arctic type. Not being aware 
that the mosses of the expedition to this island were being 
worked out by Dr. Hagen, I was satisfied with determining 
the species, and it was not till Dr. Hagen’s article appeared 
in the Transactions (xxiil., p. 326, 1908) that I became 
aware of it. Had I known this to be the case, I should of 
course have communicated the results of my examination 
of these specimens to him, in order that they might be 
incorporated in his list. 
Since my list includes one or two forms not recorded in 
Dr. Hagen’s account, and therefore new to Prince Charles 
Foreland, it seems worth while to supplement that account 
by publishing their names. I give the full list, marking 
with an asterisk those which are not included in Dr. 
Hagen’s article.
