bered that the bryology of this part of India had been until quite 

 recently untouched, — how completely so will be apparent when it 

 is said that Brachymenium turgidum described for the first time in 

 1907, is so common that hardly a tree or Euphorbia bush in the 

 ghats from Trimbak to Castle Rock is free of it, while Hyophila 

 subflaccida, a new species mentioned below, seems likely to turn 

 out to be the commonest of species, a denizen of every chunamed 

 wall. Progress must necessarily be slow so long as collecting is 

 confined to occasional holidays in the hills on the part of persons 

 whose ordinary work confines them to the plains. What is wanted 

 is a bryologist resident at some suitable place, say, Panchgani. A 

 year's work in such a locality would be productive of literally hun- 

 dreds of interesting species, many of which would be new. 



A few of the species mentioned in the list were also recorded 

 in the " First List, " but are mentioned again in order to record 

 a new habitat. I have not thought it worthwhile to do this in 

 the case of the commoner and better known species.
