tion is represented by the island Sando on the Norwegian coast (in Sondmore) 
at about 62° 15' north latitude, where I found a bit of it when botanizing with 
Kaalaas in the summer of 1907. 1 In the summer of 1914 (Aug. 23) I found it in 
the vicinity of Thorshavn in the Faroe Islands nearly equally far north (62°). 
It appears to be new to the Faroes, as Jensen’s list of bryophytes of the islands 2 
includes only two species of Calypogeia: Kantia Trichomanis and Kantia caly- 
pogea (Radd.) Lindb., which last is a synonym of what is now commonly called 
Calypogeia fissa. The plant was growing on turfy ground in a sheltered situa- 
tion in much better specimens than in Norway. I may perhaps add without 
any intention of questioning the value of the species that wherever I have seen 
it, in Norway, Scotland, or the Faroes, it grew either mixed with other species 
or in their proximity.

DICRANUM FULVUM WITH DOUBLE SETAE 
Elizabeth M. Dunham 
The occurrence of Dicranum fulvum Hook, bearing double setae is un- 
doubtedly of sufficient interest to be reported. The specimens were noticed by 
Mrs. Frank E. Lowe, of Worcester, who with the writer was recently searching for 
unusual plants about Little Squam Lake, Holderness, New Hampshire. Di- 
cranum fulvum is one of the very common mosses about Camp Winnetaska where 
we were staying, many of the rocks being nearly covered with mostly sterile 
plants. On one large boulder where the growth was unusually fertile, about a 
dozen plants were found with two setae coming from the same perichaetium, 
while other plants had forked stems and each branch bore single fruit. The 
stems were short, measuring about one-half inch, and the sporophytes were 
very young. The moss had very little old fruit on this particular boulder, which 
seemed to show that the plants either had never fruited before or else had 
fruited sparingly. A specimen was sent to Mrs. Britton for verification, and 
enquiry made if the herbarium at the New York Botanical Gardens contained 
any Dicranum fulvum with double fruit, but none could be found. Mr. Kaiser 
has looked through the material in the herbarium of the Sullivant Moss Society 
and reports but one similar occurrence on a single plant of this species, collected 
by Dr. Grout at Plymouth, New Hampshire, in September, 1898.
