 HAB. On rocks, in the vicinity of Santa Fe, Mr. Fendler.* 



* The following list of Mosses and Hepaticse, collected in 1847 near Santa Fe, New Mexico, by Mr. Fend- 

 ler, will be interesting to the bryologist as indicating the range of species. It is proper to state that Mr. Fend- 

 ler's knowledge of these orders was very limited, and that their collection was with him a secondary object ; 

 also that the adjacent mountains furnished none of the species here enumerated, the valley of the Rio 

 Chiquito, or Santa Fe Creek, being his principal locality. Atrichum angustatum, Beauv. Barbula mu-
