BRYOLOGICAL NOTES ON A TRIP IN NORWAY. 97 



unusual drought of the early summer. It was found in fruit 

 at Lærdalsøren some years ago, by Dr. Bryhn. 



Trichostomum fragile, Dixon. Widely distributed near 

 Maristuen, but generally rather poor. 



Encalypta brevicolla, Schp. By the old bridge Maristuen 

 and other parts of the Lærdal c. fr,, but rather poor. Maabødal. 

 The papillosity of the back of the nerve, which can be seen 

 with a pocket lens, may help to distinguish this species from E. 

 ciliata, which it closely resembles in the field. 



Zygodon lapponicus, B. & S. Rocks by the Laera, Mari- 

 stuen c. fr. A tall form with an illusory resemblance to Z. 

 Mougeotii. 



Z. Mougeotii, B. & S. Maristuen &c. Always sterile. 



Ulota Ludwigii, Brid.; near Eide, fruiting well on alders. 



Ü. Drummondii, Brid. Nærodal &c. c. fr. Rather common 

 near the coast, but rarer inland : only a single tuft was noticed 

 near Maristuen. Ü. curvifolia, Brid. Maabødal and Maristuen, 

 c. fr. Growing in loose blackish spreading tufts with shorter 

 rounder and darker capsules than U. Hutchinsice; we noticed also 

 that the tufts of this moss were usually coherent when gathered, 

 while those of U. Hutchinsice somewhat readily fall apart. 



Orthotrichum rupestre, Schleich, var. Sehlmeyeri, B. & S. 

 Rocks near the Maristuen fos, c. fr. Generally growing away 

 from the light; a rather well marked variety with the capsule 

 somewhat exserted and a very hairy calyptra. A few long hairs 

 also on the vaginula. 0. anomalum, Hedw, Walls near Husum 

 in the Lærdal c. fr. O. Schuhartianum, Lor. Rocks about 5 

 kilometers below Maristuen c. fr. Habit of O. cupulatum, but 

 with a hairy vaginula and a very rudimentary „Vorperistome". 

 0. alpestre, Hornsch. Rocks, Maristuen. In very short bluish 

 green tufts richly fruiting; the peristome teeth less markedly 

 strate than I have seen them in Swiss specimens. 0. pallens, 

 Bruch. On ash near Vossevangen c. fr. O. ohtusifolium, Schrad. 

 Vossevangen. In small sterile tufts.
