Bryum purpurascens R. Br. 
Poly trie hum gracile (Dicks.) Menz, 
No. 224 Bryum purpurascens R. Br. is from Sweden and looks a little 
peculiar under Boreali-Americani, but the specimens of this species are very 
good and all will be glad to get them. Georgia and Florida, Vermont and 
Canada, Washington and Oregon, Kansas and many other states between 
these named are represented. Prof. Holzinger’s work is a valuable contribu- 
tion to science and will rank with the classical Musci Boreali-Americani 
of Sullivant and Lesquereux. A. J. Grout.
