 visit was to note the phanerogamic flora, but after I had to

 work, I was able to pay some attention to the Cryptogams.

 specimens quite unfit for preserv^ation. However, I felt that 

 if I could get enough of each moss to have it identified, I 

 would be always doing a little towards recording the flora of 

 Pium. Most of the specimens are really so poor, that they 

 are exceedingly difficult to determine. I identified as many 

 as possible myself, but fully half of those now named wanted 

 identification when, a few months since, Mr E. M. Holmes,

 very kindly offered me his aid, and through his efforts the 

 list has now reached its present dimensions. In addition

 Hepatics. Several uncertain mosses were submitted to Dr
