to have been overlooked by Pech, the common T. microphyllum (Sw.) Jacq. on 

 old logs in deep woods and the beautiful conspicuous T. delicatulum (L.) Mitt.,, 

 so common on the ground in Eastern Missouri. 



No. 53. Evidently intended for Hylocomium iriquetrum (L.) Br. & Sch., 

 but not indicated for Missouri, or if so, very doubtful, although the species has 

 been collected several times in Shannon County by the writer. 



No. 54. Evidently intended for Eurhynchium strigosum Br. & Sch., and 

 very likely correct, as this species is common on the ground in rich wodds along 

 the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. 



No. 55. Evidently intended for Eurhynchium Boscii J. & S., now called 

 Cirriphyllum Boscii (Schwaeg.) Grout, and very probably correct, as this fine 

 large species is common on rocks in Eastern Missouri. No other species of 

 Eurhynchium appears to have been collected by Pech, although E. hians and 

 E. praelongum are common in the State on the ground in rich woods along the 

 bluffs of the Missouri River. 



No. 56. Evidently intended for Raphidostegium recurvans Br. & Sch., now 

 called Sematophyllum recurvans (Rich.) Britton, and very doubtful, as this is a 

 species of the Northern and Eastern states and has not since been collected in 

 Missouri. 



No. 57. Evidently intended for Ilypnum eugyrium Schimp., and very 

 doubtful, as this is a species of the Northern states and has not been collected 

 since in this State. 



No. 58. Evidently intended for Brachythecium acuminatum (Hedw.) Kindb.,. 

 and very likely correct, as this is an extremely common species on wet banks in 

 dense woods throughout the State. Apparently Pech did not collect any other 

 species of Brachythecium although B. oxycladon (Brid.) J. & S. is very common on 

 damp banks in rich woods, and B. salebrosum (Hoffm.) Br. & Sch. is fairly com- 

 mon in similar places. 



No. 59. Evidently intended for ApiUystegium serpens Br. & Sch. and prob- 

 ably correct, although I know of no other collection in Eastern Missouri. 



No. 60. Evidently intended for Amblystegium radicale (L.) Br. & Sch., 

 as I know of no Hypnum radicale Brid., and probably correct, although no other 

 collection is known from Eastern Missouri. 



No. 61. Evidently intended for Amblystegium noterophilum Holz., and 

 very doubtful, as no other specimens are known from Eastern Missouri, although 

 specimens collected at Webb City by the writer in 1909 are doubtfully referred 

 here. Other species of Amblystegium, particularly A. adnatum, fluviatile, ortho- 

 cladon, riparium, and varium, all very common species of wet woods or shallow 

 water, appear to have been overlooked by Pech. 



No. 62. Evidently intended for Plagiothecium denticulatum (L.) Br. & 

 Sch., but very doubtful, as this is a species of the Northern and Eastern states, 

 and I have seen no authentic specimens from this State. 



No. 63. Evidently intended for Homalothecium sericeum (L.) Br. & Sch., 

 but very doubtful, as it has not been collected again, and, if of this genus, is 

 referable to H. subcapillatum (Hedw.) Sulliv.
