I have made longer travels for this purpose also in 

 Norway (9 summers in the alpine district), in the Pyrenees 

 1855, in northern Italy 1888, in the Switzerland 1888, 

 1889, 1892 and 1895, also several times in Germany. 



My collections have been augmented by contributions 

 from many bryologists. Many typical specimens, collected 

 by Austin, Berggren, Bottini, Breidler, Brotherus, Cardot, 

 Drummond, Hartman, Howe, James, Lesquereux, Levier, 

 Lindberg, Lorentz, Milde, Philibert, Renauld, Roell, Schim- 

 per, Sullivanf, Venturi, Zetterstedt and others, have been 

 very useful. 



I have also received larger collections by D:r C. 

 Mueller (mostly exotic species), Mr J. Husnot (Musci Galliae), 

 the Rev:d A. G. Waghorne (about 1,000 specimens from 

 Labrador and N. Foundland), D:r V. F. Brotherus (mostly 

 from Finland), D:r E. Levier (from Spain and Portugal), 

 Mr J. M. Macoun (from Alaska), D:r T. Heldreich (from 

 Greece), Prof. J. Arcangeli (from Italy), Messrs G. A. Holt 

 and T. Rogers (from Britain), D:r R. Gyllencreutz (from 

 Spetsbergen). 



I wish therefore to thank sincerely my friends and 

 correspondents for valuable assistance, especially D:r Mueller, 

 which had the benevolence to examine the greater part 

 of my new American sp'eeies (more than 200), and Prof. 

 Macoun, having sent about 7,000 specimens, collected in 

 N. America in long travels during many years.
