losus, Orthotrichum anomalum, Thuidium abietinum, etc. but almost no 
hepatics, at least, nothing noteworthy. 
At Innsbruck we climbed the extremely steep and hot mountain known as 
the Hafelekar, which is always shown in the pictures, overhanging the 
principal street. It is of limestone, and rather barren, the best finds being 
Rhytidiuni rugosum (Ehrh.) Kindb. and Scapania aeqiiiloba Dum. which is 
all over Switzerland as well. 
The writer’s next collections were on the Axenstrasse, on Lake Lucerne, 
also hot dry limestone, and comprised Jufigermannia atrovirens Schleich, 
Pellia Fabronia7ia Raddi, and Scapania aequiloba again. 
Mt. Pilatus was more prolific, although there were still about two feet 
of slushy snow on it. We climbed down to the Klimsenhorn, a spur, about 
6000 ft. alt.: this mountain is also limestone, as is a large part of Switzer- 
land. Here on a damp ledge were Lophozia Lyoni (Tayl.) St , Metz geria 
pubescens (Schrank.) Raddi, Orthotrichum rufescens (Dicks.) B. & S., 
Plagiopus Oederi (Gunn.) Limpr. -The absence of Sphagna leaves a very 
queer impression with anyone accustomed to the White and Adirondack 
Mountains. 
Kleine Scheidegg, 6000 ft. alt., above Interlaken, was a cold, wet lime- 
stone country. At this height, above timber line, Lophozia lycopodioides 
(Wallr.) Cogn. highly variable, was the most prominent hepatic, while the 
usual Cephalozia was C. pleniceps (Aust.) Lindb. Kaalaas says that this is 
a true arctic-alpine species. Scapania aequiloba^ and Lophozia Muelleri 
(Nees.) Dum. were on a wet, shaly slope, while lower down, about Alpiglen 
station, nearly at timber line, were Lophozia Mtieileri {Nees} Dum., Lopho- 
colea 7ninor Nees, Chiloscyphus pallescens (Ehrh.) Dum., Riccardia pmguis 
(L.) S. F. G., B lepharostoma t ric hop hy limn (L.) Dum. which is very 
common on the ground in alpine regions. 
At the foot of the Staubbach, a spot which felt much like the base of the 
Willoughby, Vermont cliffs, were Preissia quadrat a (Scop.) Nees , Pellia 
Fabronia7ia Raddi, and some large Drepanocladus , or Crat07ieuro7i, among 
the tufts of Saxifraga aizoides. 
On the hill back of Miirren were Frulla7iia Tamarisci (L.) Dum. in 
great glossy mats over the limestone boulders in the pasture. Orthotheciu77i 
rufesce7is (Dicks.) B. & S. in the springy places, Sphe7iolobus exsectae- 
for7nis (Breidl.) St., on an old log, Lophozia barbata (Schreb.) Dum., 
Gri7n7nia Do7iiana Smith, Thuidiu7n abietinu77i {L.) B. & S., and Leucodon 
sciuroides (L.) Schwaegr. 
While at Montreux, we explored the Gorges de Chauderon, a charming 
limestone ravine near Glion. Here were Metzgeria furcata (L. ) Dum., 
M. co7ijugata, M. pubesce7is, Lejeunea cavifolia (Ehrh.) Lindb., Colole. 
jeunea calcarea Lib. and lots of Pedi7iophyllu7n utterruptian (Nees.) 
Schiffn. 
Zermatt offered as much as anywhere except Chamonix, perhaps on 
account of our longer stay. The Gorner gorge, a place much like the 
Flume, supplied Scapania Bartlingii Nees., L^ophocolea minor ^ Metzgeria
