In the November number of the Journal of Botany (39:360. 1901) Mr. E. 

 S. Salmon has given us the results of some very interesting studies and 

 comparisons, which have shown that five supposedly distinct species prove 

 to be forms of A. Toccoce, and that like Fissidens ^rajidifrons, the only 

 locality where it is known to fruit is N. W, India, in the Himalaya Moun- 

 tains. This extends the range of this species from Georgia to Brazil, India, 

 Ceylon, Java, Sumatra, Celebes, China, Japan, and Africa. Mr. Sal- 

 mon cites only the type locality at Toccoa Falls, Georgia, to which should be 

 added. Falls of the Yadkin, N. C, J. K. Small, 1892. 



NECROLOGY. 



Professor Alonzo Linn died at Washington, Penn.,on September 28th, 

 190 1, at the age of 74 years. He was connected with Washington and Jeffer- 

 son College from 1847 to the present, having taught History, Political 

 Economy, Latin and Greek. In recent years he had devoted some time 

 to mosses and with the assistance of Professor Simonton printed a "Pre- 

 liminary List" of those of Washington County, Penn. They were for- 

 tunate in discovering several stations for Fissidens hyalinus. Professor 

 Linn had prepared a list of the generic names of the mosses with their deriv- 

 ations and meanings, which might be helpful to the readers of The Bry- 

 OLOGisT. Elizabeth G. Brixton.
