Schlosseri CM., p. 71. I am not in possession of information 

 concerning the rest. The same want of recognition is shown in 

 Sup. i., but I think enough errata have been exposed to show that 

 some revision is required. The Queensland moss flora, a very small 

 one, should not offer many difficulties in the compilation of a mere 

 list. In all cases the names of original finders should be given, and 

 localities where found, and a short note would be interesting. Mosses 

 should not be admitted into a flora without a description, unless 

 such species have been described elsewhere. When an original 

 description is given a figure should accompany it for illustration. 

 MSS. names have caused nearly all the confusion there is in 

 Australian mosses. If bryologists bound themselves to ignore such 

 names the practice would soon cease, first published names in all 

 cases to have priority. 



In the appendix of last year's Council Report mention is made 

 that in the excursions of the Field Naturalists' section many new 

 mosses had been discovered It would be interesting to know how 

 many and the names of them. Looking over the 2nd Sup. to Syn. 

 Queensland Flora lately [ compiled the following list : — 



5 Species are given on the authority of F. v. M. 



5 „ were collected by Mr. C. T. Musson, but credit
