great park, yielded Frullania dilatata Nees, Lophocolea bidentata (L.) 
Dum. and Meizgeria furcata (L.) Dum. On a most entrancing heath, all 
heather and Sphagnum, were offered Alicularia scalaris (Schrad. ) Corda, 
Diplophylleia albicans (L.) Trev. , Lophozia inflaia (Huds.) Howe, Cepha- 
loziella divaricata (Sm.) Schiffn., Calypogeia fissa Raddi, and Lophozia 
bicrenata (Schmid.) Dum. was detected in a sandy ditch. 
The differences and resemblances between north-western Germany and 
New England, particularly the White Mountains, were very interesting; this 
particular region was non-calcareous. Diplophylleia albicans here and at 
Iburg common and highly variable, is one of our rarest species. 
Iburg, a village among the Westfalen hills, offered both kinds of 
substratum, the Langenberg and Freden being limestone, while the Diirn- 
berg and Uhrberg were siliceous. The fine spruce forests of the latter had 
most attractive roadside ditches, full of every size of Aliculara scalaris and 
Lophozia Mildeana Gottsche, in neat little apple-green rosettes. 
In Berlin, having been supplied with letters through the kindness of 
Mrs. Britton and Dr. Evans, the writer had a most delightful interview with 
Herr Warnstorf. 
But the best collecting in Germany was in the Lausitzer Gebirge, at 
Oybin and Jonsdorf, among the curious glacier-worn sandstones of that 
region. The Oybin, 1500 ft. alt. is a bee-hive-shaped wooded hill some 500 ft. 
high, with a ruined monastery on top. On the damp north side were Cono- 
cephalum in fruit, My Ha Taylori (Hook.) S. F. G , Sphenolobus minuius 
(Crantz) St., Lophocolea minor Nees, Dicranodontiimi longirostre (Starke) 
Schimp., and queerly enough, Odonioschisfna denudatnm (Mart.) Dum. 
which certainly does not belong in the cracks of wet rocks. Along the 
brook in the spruce woods below the Oybin were Riccardia multijida (L.) 
S. F. G., Chiloscyphus polyanthus (L.) Corda, Cephalozia bicuspidata (L.) 
Dum., Calypogeia Neesiana (M.as,^a\. & Carest ) C. M Frib. , Sphenolobus 
exsectus (Schmid.) St., Lophozia incisa (Schrad.) Dum., Bazzania trilobaia 
(L.) S. F. G., this last not so common as with us. 
Owing to the well-keptness of German forests, rotten-log species are 
rarities; occasional stumps can be found, but no well-furnished logs of the 
White Mountain kind, Ptilidium puleherrimufn ov Cephalozia curvifolia 
was seen on the entire trip. On the way up the Hochwald, 800 m., was the 
ubiquitous Lophozia attenuata (Mart.) Dum. 
The next day, at Jonsdorf, we got Mylia anomala (Hook.) S. F. G. in a 
sphagnum bog, and on the damp sides of the Nonnenclunsen, a curious 
series of rocks, like nuns in procession, were Lophozia ventricosa (Dicks.) 
Dum., Sphenolobus fninutus {Crantz) Scapania memorosa{'L.)L>nm. and 
S. timbrosa (Schrad.) Dum. 
This region is not very far west of the Riesengebirge, that rightly 
favorite haunt of all good German bryologists. 
At Rothenburg, which is in a limestone region, the stone walls along the 
Tauber river had a heavy covering of kalkhold mosses, Anomodon viticu.
