Tyler's Spring (45°) at 1,500 feet altitude. This large spring 

 cools the whole neighborhood, but whether that has any bearing 

 upon the occurrence of these particular species here is not 

 known to the writer. 



Jiingeinnannia puniila With, grew on the large stones in the 

 river just above the water-line, and bore plenty of perianths. It 

 was in neat dark-green tufts, which were very noticeable among 

 the Scapaniae, Grimmiae, Rhacomitriiim aciculare, etc., occupy- 

 ing the same rocks. Reported from Vermont, New Hampshire 

 and Connecticut. 



Jungermannia cordifolia Hook, was also on the river rocks in 

 front of the spring, just at the water-line, some of it, in fact, 

 being submerged, although the river was low this year. This is 

 the second station for New England, the other being at Rainbow, 

 Conn. (See Evans, Rhodora 6: Jl 1904). These plants were 

 sterile, and small, as they grew on the rocks with only a little 

 sand about their rhizoids, but were otherwise characteristic. 

 They are purplish-black, in contrast to the last-named species, 

 and are most distinct, with their heart-shaped leaves, thin cell- 

 walls without trigones, and flagella. It should be sought in the 

 remaining New England states. The allied J. riparia Tayl. is a 

 limestone plant. 



Without doubt there are other species of this genus still unde- 

 tected among the White Mountains, especially in the vicinity of 

 Mt. Carrigain, which is as yet practically unexplored.
