Report of the Committee on Bryophytes. 



The Committee on Bryophytes begs leave to submit the 

 following report for the year 1 908-1 909 : 



Neither member of your committee has been able to 

 devote much time during the past year to the study of the 

 Bryophytes of the state, hence this report is a summary of 

 work that has been accomplished by others. 



1. H. H. Bartlett: The Type Station of Sphagnum 

 Faxoni. Rhod. 10: 113-114. A note upon the discovery 

 that the type station for this moss is upon Great Cranberry 

 Island, Mt. Desert. 



2. E. M. Dunham: Offerings. Bryologist 11: 116; 

 and 12: 41. Three species of mosses, collected in Maine, 

 are offered for free distribution to the members of the Sulli- 

 vant Moss Society. 



3. A.W.Evans: Notes on the New England Hepaticae 

 VI. Rhod. 10: 185-193. This article, as all of the series, 

 brings up to date our knowledge of the New England Hepat- 

 icae, and includes much relating to Maine species, thirteen of 

 which are recorded as new to the state. According to Dr. 

 Evans, a total of 101 species of hepatics are now known from 

 Maine, the total for New England being 147. 



The above is a complete list of the articles dealing with 

 Maine bryology that have come to the knowledge of your 

 committee since the writing of their last report.
