A separate in advance from Bulletin No. 31 of the New York 
Botanical Garden on ‘Philippine Mosses,” by Mr. Robert 5. 
Williams, Administrative Assistant, appeared July 23, 1914. 
Of the 240 species collected by Mr. Williams in the Philippines 
several years ago and treated by him in this paper, 27 are 
described as new and three new genera are added. Mr. Williams 
collected over a small area in central and northern Luzon and 
in the southwestern and southeastern parts of Mindanao. There 
is still very much to do in the way of exploration in the Philip- 
pines. Much of the territory in northern Luzon and eastern, 
Mindanao may be expected to yield large additions to the 
Philippine moss flora.
