from other localities in Norway, Telemarken (st.) and Knutsteteø 

 (c. fr.) and also from Styria, leg. Breidler; the plant may deserve 

 varietal rank. G. atrata, Miel. On an outcrop of copper- 

 bearing rocks about 3 Kilometers below Maristuen, growing in 

 large blackish tufts, greener when young, with old capsules and 

 immature fruit. G. unicolor, Hook. Lærdalsøren and Maabø- 

 dal; in smaller denser blackish tufts. 



Bhacomitrium ramulosum, Ldb. Rocks, Maristuen c. fr.; 

 with short pale capsules and the leaves with the areolation 

 longer throughout than in R. heterostichum, but variable. 



Goscinodon cribrosus, Spr. Not uncommon in the Lærdal, 

 occasionally fruiting. 



Hedwigia ciliata, Ehrh. Var. leucophœa, Schp. Lærdals- 

 øren and rocks near the old Bridge, Maristuen — Fairly well

Pottia truncatula, Ldb., near Blaaflaten, Lærdal. Leaves

 & James. 



Desmatodon latifolius, B. & S. Not infrequent about 

 Maristuen c. fr. Columella sometimes exserted after the fall of

 the papillose areolation of the leaves (var. brevicaulis, Schp.). 



Tortula aciphylla, Hartm. Seljestad, Maristuen &c. A 

 Tortula also occurred at Maristuen with the lower portion only 

 of the hair point bright red, which tended to connect aciphylla 

 with ruralis; var. mucronata, Sendt.. Gudvangen; very like 

 a form of ruralis without a hair point. T. mucronifolia, Schwgr. 

 Wall near Husum, Lærdal, c. fr. 



Barhula icmadophila, Schp. Maabødal sterile, Lærdal from 

 Lærdalsøren to Maristuen on limestone rocks c. fr. and o^ 

 plant. Occurred sparingly at Maristuen, but quite abundantly

 rather poor having the appearance of being dried up by the
