Rhodora for June, August, and September, 1904, in addition to his list of 
New England Hepaticae in the same journal for June, 1903, bring our 
knowledge of New England Hepaticae up to date. 
During the past summer I have collected and studied both hepatics and 
mosses and have found a few interesting things. On August 30th of last 
year I spent a day in Downers Glen, Manchester, a spot which I had previ- 
ously visited in the days before I knew a moss from an hepatic. The wild 
beauty of the glen made such an impression on me then that I have always 
felt that a careful exploration would find it rich in rare mosses. The fol- 
lowing list will show how well founded my belief was, and I am sure that in 
one short day I could only have begun to find the good things that grew 
there. 
Mosses not Before Recorded. 
Dicranella heteromalla sericea Schimp. Growing among crystals of 
copperas near old mine. Shrewsbury, Clifton D. Howe. A peculiar moss 
from a peculiar habitat. Determined by Dr. Best, but with a little uncer- 
tainty expressed. 
Oreoweisici serntlata (Funck.) DeNot. Moist ledges, Downers Glen, 
A. J. G. 
Rhabdoweisia denticulata (Brid.) B. & S. Moist rocks, Downers Glen, 
A. J. G. 
Rhacomitrium canescens (Timm. ) Brid. This plant covers square rods 
of sandy soil on the “ Island” in the Connecticut River opposite Brattleboro, 
but all the plants seemed sterile. Although no plants of this species were 
found in Vermont it is more than probable that they will be found on the 
Brattleboro side of the river. It would seem that this plant is not so much 
of a subalpine as I had previously thought. 
Timmia megapolitana Hedw., Downers Glen, A. J. G. : Tunbridge, 
Miss Mary F. Miller: Silver Lake, Brandon, Miss Annie Lorenz. It seems 
rather peculiar that this species not before reported from the state should be 
found by three different people in so widely separated localities in the same 
season. Is it possible that conditions for fruiting had been unusually favor- 
able ? The sterile plants would probably be overlooked as they would be 
mistaken for some member of the Hair-cap Family. 
Thuidium pygmaeum B. & S. On face of boulder, Newfane, A. J. G. 
Determined by Dr. Best. < 
Hypnum montanum Wils. In large sheets covering several square feet 
over ledges in bed of rivulet. Downers Glen, A. J. G. 
Hypnum eugyrium (B. & S.) Schimp. var. VIRIDIMONTANUM n. 
var. Very large, dark green throughout; leaves ovate to broadly ovate- 
lanceolate, about 2 mm. long. Capsules strongly constricted under the 
mouth when dry. Growing in wide mats over ledges in the bed of a brook in 
Downers Glen, A. J. G. 
The relationship of this plant to eugyrium is clear, but seems distinct 
from any described variety. It may prove to be a good species. It will be 
issued as no. 201 of North American Musci Pleurocarpi.
