treatment." This form Loeske regards as characteristic of a more 

 moist habitat, and there is no question in my mind that the summit 

 region of Roan Mt. has a much greater summer rainfall than that of the 

 White Mts. Terrific thunderstorms were of almost daily, or nightly, 

 occurence and the summit area was running with water. 

 Rhacomitrium sudeticum (Funck) B. & S. Rocks in brooks, near Yonahlossee 

 Road on side of Grandfather Mt.; Jones Knob including Woodfin 

 Falls; Roan Mt. 



Zygodon viridissimus (Dicks.) R. Br. Bark of trees, with propagula, but with- 

 out fruit, Roan Mt., Tenn.; Swannanoa; Grandmother Gap. A speci- 

 men from a large rock near the Yonahlossee Road on the side of Grand- 

 father Mt. was without propagula and produced fruit, but the capsules 

 were either immature or overripe and permitted no examination of the 

 peristome. I cannot refer it satisfactorily to any other species. 



Pohlia proligera Lindb. Wet, springy places, Swannanoa Mts.; Dark Ridge. 



Sterile, but bearing the characteristic propagula. This is apparently 

 the only one of the bulbiferous Pohlias reaching our southern mountains. 

 It has not before been reported south of West Virginia, where I found it 

 some years ago. 



Pohlia albicans (Wahl.) Lindb. Wet place in mountains, Beetree Creek. Sterile. 



Br yum turbinatum (Hedw.) Schwaegr. Stone in brook (Woodfin Creek), Jones 

 Knob. A large sterile tuft. This species is common in the Rocky 

 Mountain region, but is very uncommon or of doubtful occurrence in our 

 eastern states, and this is a quite unexpected southeastern record. 



Mnium hornum L. Bank of small brook crossing Yonahlossee Road. Sterile. 



Mnium affine Bland. Collected in woods west of Linville. 



Aulacomnium paluslre (L.) Schwaegr. Wet, rocky places, Pardee Point, Tenn.; 



Grandmother Gap. This is by no means so common in the southern 



mountains as farther north. 

 Philonoiis marchica (Willd.) Brid. Woodfin Falls. 

 Drummondia clavellata Hook. Bark of tree, near Marion. 



Leucodon julaceus (L.) Sull. Bark of tree, near Marion. Not noted at higher 

 altitudes, where L. brachypus Brid. everywhere prevailed. 



Leskea obscura Hedw. Bark of trees, valley of Swannanoa River and elsewhere 

 about Swannanoa. 



Thelia asprella (Schimp.) Sull. Bark of tree, near Marion. The genus was not 



noted at higher altitudes. 

 Myurella gracilis (Weinm.) Lindb. A small tuft in crevice of rock. Grandfather 



Mt. 



Anomodon minor (Beauv.) Fiirn. Bark of tree, summit region of Roan Mt. 



Evans and Nichols give the southern limit as Virginia. 

 Thuidium minutulum (Hedw.) B. & S. Snaggy Mt.
