ft. Newfane. Det. L. S. Cheney. 
Fabroleskea Austinii (Sulliv.) Best. On pear tree with various species 
of Orthrotrichum, Hypnum reptile and Pylaisia Schimperi. The species 
covered about a square inch, and would have been overlooked with ordinary 
scrutiny but the tree on which it grew was carefully studied from my notes 
on moss habitats. It was distinguished from Pylaisia because the leaves 
were not homomallous, and from Hypnum reptile by the straight capsules. 
Det. Dr. G. N. Best. 
Heterocladium squarrosulum (Voit.) Lindb. Det. Dr. Best. Abund- 
ant and fruiting on humus over moist stones, Ball Mt., Townshend. Not 
before reported from eastern United States except Mt. Washington, and has 
been collected in fruit but twice before in North America. Issued as No. 
169 of my N. A. Musci Pleurocarpi but wrongly identified as Thuidium 
in icrophy llum. 
Leskea nervosa nigrescens (Kindb.) Best. Abundant on bases of sugar 
maple and other rough barked hardwoods in Newfane. No. 175, N. A. Musci 
Pleurocarpi. 
Neckera complanata (L.) Hueben. Willoughby. Miss Annie Lorenz. 
Det. Mrs. Britton. 
II. Notes on Species Previously Listed. 
Atrichum crispum James. I feel sure that this is a mistake in Frost’s 
list for there is a specimen of this species in his collection, but it is from 
New Jersey. I find no specimens of this species so far inland. 
Grimmia unicolor. In fruit. Brattleboro. Frost. 
Barbula convoluta. Newport. Faxon. 
Trichostomum cylindricum (Bruch.) C. M. {Didymodon cylindricus B. 
& S.). No Vt. specimens can be found. The specimen listed from Rock 
Point proves to be Tortella tortuosa (L.) Limpr. (. Barbula tortuosa Web. 
& Mohr.). 
Bryum Duvallii. Swampy soil. Alt. 1,600 feet, Newfane. 
Mnium hornum. Abundant along Clear Brook, Dover. 
Leskea nervosa. A depauperate form with numerous flagella at the 
ends of some of the branches, is very common about the bases of trees in 
Newfane. 
Gymnostomum rupestre Schleich. The only Vermont specimen cor- 
rectly referred to this species is the one collected by Faxon at the foot of Mt. 
Hore cliffs, June 23, 1884. Most of the other specimens referred to this species 
are G. curvirostrum (Ehrh.) Hedw. var. scabrum Lindb. which has been 
collected at Rock Point, Burlington, by myself, and much earlier by Mr. 
Pringle on the “ Cliffs of Lake Champlain.” This var. is readily recognized 
by its papillose stems. G. curvirostrum has dark red-brown capsules, G. 
rupestre pale yellowish brown capsules.
