No. 11.] THE BRYOPHYTES OF CONNECTICUT. 27 
’ 
is quoted for a number of the most interesting species, and 
Professor O. D. Allen, Mr. A. Barron, Mr. E. E. Brewster, 
Mr. W. T. Browne, Mr. N. Coleman, Dr. F. W. Hall, Dr. 
G. R. Kleeberger, Mr. F. N. Pease, Mr. R. Veitch, and Mr. 
A. H. Young are also mentioned as collectors. The Berzelius 
List has of course served as a basis for subsequent work on 
Connecticut Bryophytes, but no publication on the entire 
group, dealing with either the whole or a part of the state, 
has since appeared. 
During the last thirty years, however, the Mosses and 
Hepatics have by no means been neglected, and many ad- 
ditional species have been detected within the state. Several of 
these were found by Professor Eaton himself, who continued 
his active interest in bryology throughout his life. Others 
were collected by Mr. J. A. Allen, including a number of rare 
and minute species which have not been rediscovered by later 
observers. Still others were found by more recent students 
of Professor Eaton, Mr. E. B. Harger, Professor W. A. 
Setchell, and Dr. C. B. Graves being among the number. 
During the last decade some of the most interesting additions 
have been made by Mrs. Josephine D. Lowe and Miss Annie 
Lorenz, and the authors of the present catalogue have also 
had a share in swelling the list of Connecticut Bryophytes. 
In: spite of this active collecting very little has been pub- 
lished on the true Mosses (Bryales) of Connecticut since the 
Berzelius List. A search through the scattered literature has 
brought to light less than a dozen species which are actually 
additions. Among the more important of these are the follow- 
ing: — Thuidium Alleni Aust., described from sterile speci- 
mens collected by Mr. J. A. Allen in Beaver Meadows, near 
New Haven; the rare Claopodium pellucinerve (Mitt.) Best, 
collected by Mrs. Lowe at Noroton in the town of Darien, and 
reported upon by Miss Harriet Wheeler; and Anacamptodon 
splachnoides Brid., first recorded by Mrs. Lowe from Burn- 
side, in the town of East Hartford. As the present report 
shows, the number of known species is now 245. This does 
not include the two species of Andreza discovered by Mr. J. 
A. Allen, which of course belong to a different natural order 
(Andrezales). For the “Musci Americ Septentrionalis
