Pellia epiphylla (L.) Corda, and a large and luxuriant Fossomhronia, without 

 mature capsules, probably foveolata, Marsupella emarginata (Ehrh.) Dum., all 

 sizes, Nardia Geoscyphus (De Not.) Lindb., new to Maine, in the peaty corners 

 of the sedge tufts, mixed with Lophozia infiata (Huds.) Howe, and L. alpestris 

 (Schleich.) Evans. This latter was collected new to Maine by Mr. Collins in 

 1900 because he could not help it, being as it is the dominant Lophozia of the 

 region, and occurring in 57 varieties. 



A preliminary circuit of the pond produced L. Kunzeana (Huben.) Evans, 

 also new to Maine, on the big boulder-talus at the southeastern end of the pond, 

 also Diplophylleia taxifolia (Wahl.) Trev., Lophozia Hatcheri (Evans) Steph., 

 L. lycopodioides (Wahl.) Cogn., Rhytidium rugosum (Ehrh.) Kindb. This latter 

 was the only moss noted by the writer which was not on Dr. Kennedy's list. 



On the peat among the cranberries along the camp side of the pond was 

 more L. Kunzeana (Hiiben) Evans, this habitat, on Sphagnum, being its usual 

 one in the White Mts. Nearby, on the edges of the peat and pond, were Mar- 

 supella ustulata (Hiiben.) Spruce, and Cephaloziella Starkei (Funck.) Schiffn., 

 this latter also new to Maine. 



Along the southwestern shore was first, plenty of L. confertifolia Schiffn. 

 on small boulders at the edge of the woods. Further on, one was curiously re- 

 minded of Lower Greeley Pond, Waterville, N. H., with its pebbly peaty shore 

 supporting a mixed turf of Marsupella emarginata (Ehrh.) Dum., M. Sullivantii 

 (De Not.) Evans, Nardia ohovata (Nees.) Carnngt., Lophozia alpestris (Schleich.) 

 Evans, L. inflata (Huds.) Howe, Odontoschisma elongatum (Lindb.) Evans, 

 Scapania dentata Dum., 5. suhalpina (Nees.) Dum., etc. A delightful little 

 beach bore above high water mark a garden of hare bells. Aster Radula Ait., 

 alpine Solidago, and Arenaria groenlandica Spreng., with alpine grasses and 

 sedges. The ground beneath was covered with a mixture of Cephaloziella 

 Starkei (Funck.) Schiffn., Cephalozia bicuspidata (L.) Dum., 3 species of Mar- 

 supella, small tufts of Scapania subalpina (Nees.) Dum., S. dentata Dum., S. 

 irrigua (Nees.) Dum., and even an occasional tumbledown bit of Gymnomitrium 

 concinnatum (Lightf.) Corda. from the heights above. Marsupellae were in 

 assorted sizes; some of the Sullivantii was almost robust enough for sphacelata, 

 but was on the beach and not in the water. 



Following up the dry brook at the southwest corner of the pond were more 

 Marsupellae, Nardia ohovata, Dicranum longifolium Ehrh., Andreaea petrophila 

 Ehrh., and a few bits of Frullania Oakesiana Aust. on the larger birches. Our 

 first official expedition was up this brook via the slide to the mouth of the Chim- 

 ney, which contained a rivulet, but nothing particularly exciting in the way of 

 hepatics. 



Our usual route up the mountain, taking about an hour and a half from 

 camp on to the Tableland, was via a slide just south of the Saddle Slide used by 

 the Kennedy party, as that was too. much Qvergrowa. A cold spring near the 

 top of this slide was the only water-supply on the mountain (barring the Abol 

 spring) except certain dubious rain-pools in the rocks. The Tableland itself 

 (about 4300 ft.) is very dry and barren, with a markedly acid-soil flora. Dia-
