older and newer diagnostic characters are refreshing to note. Not less 

 charming is his treatment of the errors of fellow workers which he brings out 

 in a frank way yet devoid of acrimony and above all without giving offense 

 or humiliation. In differences of opinion he is evidently forbearing and 

 allows the other man full right of private judgment. 



Following is the list of new species described, including several for the 

 first time adequately described:

Without doubt a considerable number of these species will be found to 

 occur also in the northern parts of our own North American continent. 



The Bryophyta of the Faroes. By C. Jensen. 



This is a treatise in English of 78 pages of printed matter in a report 

 from the " Botany of the Faroes," Pt. I. Copenhagen, 1901, pp. 120-197. It 

 is accompanied by a map of the Islands made on the scale of four miles to 

 the inch, and by five plates. The islands lie in lat. 62° N., and are about 

 equidistant from Norway, Ireland and Scotland. Their mossflora is of cor- 

 responding interest to American students. 



The list of 338 species enumerated on pages 122-181, including 95 species 

 of Hepaticae, takes account not only of the author's own collection made on 

 these islands in 1896, but of all the materials accumulated from various ex- 

 peditions during the 19th century and earlier, in the Museum of the Botanical 

 Gardens at Copenhagen. Of the eight works cited in the Bibliography (I. 

 J. Landt's. 1800; 2. W. C. Trevelyan's, 1835; 3. J. W. Harnemann's, 1837: 

 4. E. R^strup's, 1870; 5. N. C. Kindberg's, 1887; 6. F. Borgensen and C. 

 Ostenfeld-Hansen's, 1896; 7. H. G. Simmons's, 1897; 8. C. Jensen's, 1897.), 

 four give lists of mosses namely Nos. 4, 0, 7, & 8. Corrections in determina- 

 tions and change* of nomenclature in these lists are given on pp. 181-184. 



Pages 185-196 take up the phyto-geographical studies based upon the 

 bryophyta of the islands, in which the author makes exhaustive and interest- 

 ing comparisons with all the outlying mossfioras. 



The plates illustrate Radula complanata]2,<^^., Philonotis Ryani VhiYxh., 

 Pohlia Fccroensis Jensen, n. sp., and of Dicraiium Afidersonii (Wich.) 

 Schimp. from both the original specimen from Lapland and from the Faroese 

 specimen. This last is a contribution from Prof. Harold Lindberg.
