NOTES ON MAINE HEPATICAE AND THEIR COMPARISON WITH 
THE HEPATICAE OF THE SAREKGEBIRGE. (Concluded) 
Annie Lorenz 
The higher altitude at Round Mountain Lake, as compared with the White 
Mts., as well as its more northern location, is evident from a glance at some 
of the hepatic inhabitants. Lophozia lycopodioides and L. attenuata are abund- 
ant about the edge of the lake, whereas in the White Mts. the former does not 
descend below 4000 ft., and the latter fortunately is chiefly confined to 2500 
ft. or more, although occasionally descending much lower. Pallavicinia Floto- 
wiana grew quite abundantly on the rocks at the water-line on Tree Island, 
both 9 and $ plants, and it was mixed with Pellia. 
There apparently were no good sphagnum bogs in the vicinity; at least,, 
none of the inhabitants seemed to know of any, as what they called “bogs’* 
were what are known as “ stillwaters ’ ’ in the Adirondacks, although sphagnum 
was common enough. However, just outside Eustis, on the way in, the writer 
noted a most promising little bog full of Andromeda, which shall be investi- 
gated next time. 
The most unusual feature of the region is Big Alder falls and gorge, about 
3 miles from camp. Alder Stream, the outlet of Big Island Pond, flows through 
about a mile of canon, with a high falls at the upper end. The gorge runs ap- 
proximately east and west, and is about 75 ft. deep. The rocks forming its 
walls contain some magnesium; there is a seam of low-grade asbestos crossing 
the road just above the gorge. This region, in fact, is southeast of the Black 
Lake mines in Quebec. The writer has explored only about the foot of the two 
paths leading respectively to the head and foot of the falls, but the results were 
encouraging to further exploration. On the first trip, the writer, not knowing 
about the Mg in the rocks, made out a list of such species as grow on granite 
at the Waterville, N. H., cascades, and could not at first see what had become 
of most of them, especially of Marsupella. Down the first path the only species 
of value was Scapania subalpina , new to the state. Near the second path, the 
writer gathered a handful of something which upon examination proved to be 
Lophozia heterocolpa (Thed.) Howe, new to New England. It was growing 
about tree-roots on the bank, where it was rather dry. 
On a second trip down this path, in search of more L. heterocolpa , plenty of 
it was found where it grew in company with Plagiochila , Nardia hyalina, Mnium 
sp., etc., but the chief find was Lophozia ohtusa (Lindb.) Evans, on the same
