﻿2 12 MANTISSA MUSC0RO1 ETC. 



asiacissimo D. Fr. Gomba collectoruni , id quocl tantum erat in votis 

 festinànter quoad muscos perfecimus . ut tandem divìlias hujusce 

 ditissimae feracissimaeque regionis patefierent , sicuti jam pridem 

 in praefatione ad Muscologiam Britannicam clariss. Hooker et Taylor 

 hisce verbis nuntiarunt. In the South oj Europe , in Frane e and 

 Italj, , there are bui few Mosses in the plains ; though those , in 

 general , are highlj curious ; bui ascend to the summits oj the 

 Jpennines , the Alps , where fogs and mists abound, and the Musco- 

 logist will be delighted with their productions. 



Dura vero specimen nostrum in lucem mittimus > nos non lalet 

 alias permuhas pulchrioresque species in alpibus noslris prorsus 

 oblitas crescere ; harum nonnullas jam in herbario nostro adser~ 

 vamus maturiori esamini subjiciendas , et id quod mine trepido 

 tentamus animo, diis faventibus , serius ad finem perducere et ex- 

 polire conabìmur.
