bank, above the rocks, growing mixed with Hylocomia, Catharinea undulata 
Mnium, etc. It appeared so like L. barbata that the writer did not even look 
at it until three months later, when the gibbous sinus of the leaf quickly de- 
termined its name. The whole gorge reminds one of Quechee Gulf, Vermont, 
and undoubtedly contains further members of the Muelleri- group. 
Back of the camp was a wet granite ledge bearing a heavy crop of Lophozia 
quinquedentata $ , L. barbata c. per., and Marsupella emarginata, the only sta- 
tion noted for the latter, which, although easily accounted for, yet seems strange 
to one accustomed to its ubiquitousness in the White Mts. Sphenolobus Hel- 
lerianus c. fr. was collected near here on a tremendous old log; also Frullania 
Oakesiana, but this, while characteristically alpine, descends at Waterville,- 
N. H., to 1550 ft. 
There were no Ricciae noted, not even R. Sullivantii, but the only suitable 
place for that was on the Big Island Pond buckboard-road, where grew Blasia 
and Anthoceros levis, the only stations seen. 
Of the Marchantiaceae, only Marchantia and Conocephalum were seen. 
Fossombronia, immature, but probably F. foveolata, was abundant. Chiloscy- 
phus fragilis (Roth.) Schiffn. was in a cold spring, not warm still water, as Schiff- 
ner says, although it also grew luxuriantly in the warmer water about the beaver 
pond. Scapania nemorosa was rare, on account of the lime; S. apiculata grew 
below the house spring, on a rotten log, in company with Riccardia palmata. 
Neither Mylia Taylor i nor Diplophylleia taxifolia were seen at all. 
The mosses were not examined, but doubtless there are plenty of equally 
attractive species to be found. 
In looking over Arnell and Jensen’s Moose des Sarekgebietes, 1907-19 10, 
some curious comparisons with this Maine flora presented themselves. Of the 
101 species collected by Arnell and Jensen on that expedition, 63 are common 
to New England, 51 are found in Maine, and it were not unreasonable to expect 
to find a dozen more. Examining the table of frequency, the Lophozias ran 
curiously parallel. There were 22 against 23 in N. E., with 14 common to Maine. 
Ten of these species were even in their rate of frequency, but L. inflata, very 
common there, was not collected at Round Mountain, while our ubiquitous L. 
attenuata they found only once! Arnell says of L. obtusa: “This curiously enough 
only recently better-observed species has proved itself in its Swedish distribu- 
tion ever more as a boreal species.” 
While the Sarekgebirge are so far off the beaten track that they are not 
even mentioned in Baedeker, the authors obviously enjoyed themselves most 
thoroughly on that expedition. The Sarekgebiet is largely a granite region, 
with limestone in one corner, while Round Mountain has the least flavor of lime, 
with Mg down in the gorge. Marsupella emarginata was rare in both cases. Of 
Sphenolobus , only S. minutus was common to both, and that infrequent. Sca- 
pania nemorosa was lacking from this list, as it was too far north, Scap. sub- 
alpina was common, also a number of arctic-alpine species were reported. 
Odontoschisma elongatum (Lindb.) E., which likewise occurs In Maine, was one 
of the two species found, the other being 0 . Macounii (Aust.) Underw. No
