OBSERVATIONS ON MOSSES. 
The mosses that on account of one or another of the above-men- 
tioned principles, I have considered most adapted to the purpose 
in question, and that I on that account dare propose to the readers 
of the Revue Briologique for observation are the following, that I 
have arranged as well in the order in which they blossom as also 
in the order in which they ripen their fruits at Hemoesand (at 
15° SO' east. long, from Paris, 62° 30' n. lat. ) in the midst of 
Sweden, from which arrangement every reader will, to be sure, 
immediately perceive that these phenomena at Hernoesand and in 
the place to the phrenological relations of which the reader may be 
best acquainted, belong to very different times.

(#) The time of blooming and fructification of this species, that is not 
found at Hernoesand, is given according to specimina collected at Trondh- 
jem, in Norway, which town is but little northiier than Hernoesand.
