The Leskeaceae are divided into five subfamilies ; the Heterocladieae, 
The lie ae, Anomodonteae , Leskeae and Thuidieae. Heterocladium has five 
North American species; H. procurrens , H. squctrrosulum , H. heterop - 
terum, H. Macounii and H. heteropterioides. Thelia four; Th. hirtella , 
Th. compacta , Th. robusta, and Th. asprella, Th. Lescurii being reduced 
to the latter. Myurella three species ; M. julacea, M. lenerrima and M. 
gracillis. 
Anomodon, as given by Lesqx. and James, is divided into three genera 
with Haplohymenium Doz. and Molk. to include H. triste (Cesat.) Kindb. 
and Anomodon with five species; A. apiculatus. A. minor , A. viticulosus , 
A. attenuatus and A. rostratus and Herpetineuron Toccoae (Sull.) Cardot. 
The Leskeae Jnclude Lindbergia with L. brachyptera and L. Austini 
(Sull.) Broth. Leskea has four species; L. microcarpa, L. polycarpa, L. 
arenicola, L. gracilescens. Leskea nervosa is transferred to Leskeella 
Limpr. and L tectorum to P seudoleskeella. Lescuraea takes one species, 
L. substriata. Pseudoleskea has five species: P. atrovirens, P . pallida. P. 
denudata , and the variety PLolzingeri, P. rigescens and P. stenophylla. 
The Thuidieae are also subdivided more than usual, the genus Rauia 
Aust. being recognized for R. scita. Thuidium ereclum has been over- 
looked as it was reduced to a synonym of Th. delicatum by Dr. Best in 1896. 
The genus Haplocladium C.M. is also maintained with two species, H. vir- 
gmianum and H. microphyllujn (Sw.) Broth. This part concludes with 
the generic description of Claopodium and figure of C. leuconeuron.

A LIST OF MOSSES COLLECTED IN THE MOUNTAINS OF WESTERN 
NORTH CAROLINA IN THE SUMMER OF 1907. 
By A. J. Grout, Ph.D. 
All the mosses here listed were collected during July and the first two 
weeks in August. They were all collected in or near the estate of Geo. W. 
Vanderbilt, and mostly in Transylvania County, though some collected on 
and near. Green Knob and Pigeon Gap were in Haywood Co. Chestnut Bald 
is the highest of the group of what is generally called “The Balsams,” 
because the summits are covered with balsam fir and spruce. Probably 
some of the collections made here were, over the line in Jackson County. 
All collections from Chestnut Bald were at about 6000 ft. altitude. 
The Pink Beds, which were headquarters, is an elevated mountain 
valley about 3300 ft. above sea level on the average and about 12 miles north- 
west of Brevard and about 40 miles from Asheville. The life of these moun- 
tains, both animal and vegetable, is an interesting combination of northern 
and southern forms. Many forms found here which were originally identi- 
fied with northern forms have proved on closer study to be well marked 
varieties. or even distinct species. Many of the mosses listed here differ con- 
siderably from northern forms and are probably good varieties, to say the 
least. The thirteenth fascicle (Nos. 301-325) of my “ North American Musci
