transparent, flexible material,* which in this case were 65 mm. X 75 mm., 
some larger sizes being used for the larger mosses; a pressed specimen of 
the moss, with a narrow label, being laid into the envelope, the front flap is 
slipped under a ridge, or fold, and everything is secure. A white card 
alternated with each transparent envelope, to form a background, and 
groups or families were tied together with cords passed through perforations 
at the base, so that the whole could be turned back and forth like the leaves 
of a book. 
In the third set of mosses, the species were gummed on full-size herb 
arium sheets, this being the beginning of a Collection of Mosses to go to 
the Herbarium of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, where it is no 
object to save space. A fruiting spray of Fontinalis Dale car lie a covered a 
whole sheet, but with the small, common species, like Dicranella hetero- 
malla , or Georgia pellucida, there were six or eight gatherings, from as 
many different months, to show seasonal change. Only about sixty species 
were as yet in this set. On many of the sheets a packet or envelope con- 
tained moss sprigs that could be taken out and examined. 
We do not know how it was with the other exhibits, but we know that 
several pleasant introductions took place over the moss tables, followed by a 
correspondence which has been of advantage to all the parties concerned.

ADDITIONS TO THE BRYOPHYTE FLORA OF LONG ISLAND. 
A. J. Grout. 
Since the publication of Dr. Jelliffe’s “Flora of Long Island” in 1899, 
the following additions to the mosses and hepatics have been made by vari- 
ous collectors. Some of these were published in Torreya, April, 1902, and 
July, 1904. Unless otherwise credited the additions were made by the 
author. 
HEPATICAE. 
Riccia lutescens Schw. Forest Park. 
Bazzania trilobata (L,) S. F. Gray. Cold Spring. 
Lepidozia sylvatica Evans. Frequent. 
Lophocolea minor Nees. Common in Queens County in swampy woods. 
Anthoceros punctatus L. Forest Park. 
It is probable that the Lepidozia set ace a of Jelliffe’s List is L. sylvatica , 
and that the Odontoschima Spagna is O. prostratuin (Swartz.) Trevis., this 
last species being common. 
MUSCI. 
Polytrichum juniperinum alpinum Schimp. Miss M. L. Saniel (Dr. Jel- 
liffe, in Torreya, 4:7, 1904.). 
Buxbaumia aphylla L. Jamaica South, Cold Spring, A. J. G. Law- 
rence, Miss Brainerd. 
Bruchia Sullivantii Aust. Lawrence; Cold Spring. 
Dicranum flagellare minutissimum Grout. Lawrence. (See Mosses 
with Hand-Lens and Microscope, p. 105, Fig. 47).
