Campylopodiella, with one species, C. tenella Card,, based on plants from 
Sikkim, Darjeeling, India, communicated by Dr. Levier, of Florence, Italy. 
The description is accompanied by a page of illustrations. 
In the same publication, M. Cardot has an article on the genus Leuco- 
bryum in Japan, reducing the 12 species described from these islands to 
four, namely Leucobryum scabrum, glancum, Bowringii and neilgher- 
rense. Under this last species are according to the writer included Z. 
Torrid, lacteolum,. brevicaule , galeatum, Japonicuvi, Wichurae and 
retractu7)i. 
In a third article of this publication M. Cardot reports on a small collec- 
tion of Mosses from New Caledonia made by Deplanche and Vicillard, which 
the writer found had not been taken account of in Bescherelle’s Florule, nor 
in the more recent publications of Brotherus and Theriot. This collection 
included 26 species, four of which are new : Dior anu7n per longifolium, Macro- 
7nitriiim gracilipes, M. rufipilu77i and Trichostele7t77ivicillardi. These are 
both figured and described. 
In a fourth brief article M. Cardot reinstates, describes and figures 
Dicr 717111771 Novae-Holla7idiae Hsch., which C. Muller, in consequence bf a 
confusion of specimens, had reduced to a synonym of Hyp7i7i77i areu77i Lam.

Contributions to the Moss Flora of Norway. No. IV. by N. Bryhn. 
This is an extract from “ Nyt. Mag. fon Naturoid.” B. 45, H. H. Kris. 
tiania, 1907, comprising pp. 113 to 130 inch It enumerates 32 species of 
Hepaticae, and 12 1 species of Mnsci, including four of Sphagna. In a brief, 
charming introduction the author points out that Gunner knew only 70 species 
of mosses, and said that he believed that hardly a plant could be found in 
Norway which he had not seen. 
“ In the century after the time of Gunner the noted moss students^ 
Hartman and Lindberg, enumerated about 600 species as belonging to the 
Flora of Norway. 
“ In more recent years several sons of the fatherland have scrutinized 
the status of mosses as never before, and have investigated their distribu- 
tion. And up to the present time 1100 species of mosses are known to occur 
in Norway. 
“This list likwise, which includes some rarer mosses, especially those 
observed in more recent years in various localities of the country, will 
increase this number.” 
In other words, all the Hepaticea, and Musci enumerated here are addi- 
tions to the Moss Flora of Norway ! This is of interest to American students 
because of the close kinship of the Arctic-American Moss-Flora with that of 
Norway. One new variety is described: Bryimi 7ieoda77ie7ise fragile 
Bryhn. But the matter of most interest to all moss students is Dr. Bryhn’s 
note under A77iblystegui77i juratzka7iu77i Schimp., embodying as it does 
the result of the author’s careful study of this and the closely related species 
of A 77 iblystegiii 77 i. I here cannot do better than to quote his words in full.
