Philippine Mosses 
By Rosert 8. WILtiams 
The mosses of the following list were obtained by the 
author while on a collecting trip in the Philippine Islands 
for the New York Botanical Garden, extending from 
October, 1903 to August, 1905. The specimens were 
chiefly collected at the following places. On the island of 
Luzon, about the Lamao river and Mt. Mariveles at its 
head, Oct. 1903 to March, 1904; then northward about 
140 miles in the vicinity of Baguio and Mt. Santo Tomas, 
ten miles distant, April to Dec. 1904, ending the work in 
Luzon with a few days at Los Bafios on Laguna de Bey in 
Jan. 1905. On leaving this island a trip was made to 
Mindanao where collections were obtained first in the 
southwest part, in the vicinity of San Ramon, the Sax 
river and adjacent mountains, some ten or twelve miles 
northwest of Zamboanga, Feb. and March, 1905, and 
finally along the west coast of the Gulf of Davao and on 
the slopes of Mt. Apo, chiefly in the vicinity of Todaya, a 
small native village, g00 to 1200 meters elevation. The 
elevation of the mountains above mentioned is about as 
follows. Mariveles, 1160 meters; Santo Tomas, 2438 
meters; Apo, 3050 meters. Most of the elevations men- 
tioned are estimates, only approximately correct. This 
list contains 240 species in 118 genera. Of these, 27 species 
and 3 genera have been described as new.
