Erect or creeping, terrestrial or aquatic, cellular plants, {Lindl.) abun- 

 dant only in temperate climates, though also found within the tropics. 

 From India, (especially Nepal) Dr. Hooker has according to Wall. Cat. 

 examined and named 109 species, viz. 5 of Gymnostomum ; 1 of Grim- 

 mia ; 1 of Orthodon ; 2 of Orthotrichum ; 1 of Schlotheimia ; 4 of Syr- 

 rhopodon ; 1 of Calymperes ; I of Zygodon ; 4 of Didymodon ; 6 of 

 Dicranum ; 1 of Trematodon ; 4 of Torlula ; 1 6 of Bryum ; 2 of Bra- 

 chymenium ; 1 of Funaria ; i of Bartramia ; 6 of PoLytrichum ; 1 of Lyel- 

 lia ; 3 of Fissidens ; 1 7 of Hypnum ; 7 of Leskea ; 1 8 of Neckera ; 2 

 of Hookera ; and 4 of Plerogonium. In Royle's collection are about 55 

 species, almost all from Mussooree, several of which are identical with 

 those of Wall. Cat. During a journey into Upper Assam, in 1835 and 

 1836, Mr. W. Griffith collected, chiefly on the Khassya Hills, 143 species 

 of Musci, by himself, fully described in M'Clelland's Journal of Natural 

 History, Calcutta, 1842, Nos. 8 a?id 9, and forming about |^th of the 

 whole number (1,324) contained in Bridel's Bryologia universalis. " Some 

 idea," says the author, " may be formed of the probable great number 

 of species that remain to be found, when I mention, that the whole 

 of the Hill collection was formed between the 8th October and the 

 'JOth of November, and that the most interesting portions of the Hills to 

 the eastward of the route mentioned were not visited." Of the 143 spe- 

 cies, 1 belongs to SpluKjnum ; 6 to Pobjtrichum ; 1 to Diphyscium ; 7 to
