Neckera Menziesii, N. Douglasii and N. oligocarpa are arboreal in 
habitat and confined almost exclusively to living trunks of Acer 
macrophyllum and A. circinatum and fruit abundantly. 
CUmacium dendroides is locally abundant, preferring low and moist 
lands subject to inundation. It fruits copiously late in the summer. 
Hypnum sub'mponens , H. sequoiete, and Crista-castrensis are common, 
confined to fallen timber and moist situations, climbing on stumps 
and tree trunks and fruiting abundantly. 
Alsia abietina occurs on Mayne Island, on large detached boulders 
along the Point Comfort Road, and also at Langley on the Fraser 
River on the bases of Cottonwood trees, in both localities fruiting well. 
Pogonatum contorium is found in abundance along the shady ditches 
of the Blue Mountain Road in damp localities, also along the Pipeline 
road to Lake Coquitlam, fruiting copiously in summer and autumn. 
Fontinalis Kindbergii R. & C. is not uncommon in standing water in 
shallow forest pools but has not been found in fruit. F. Dalecarlica 
also trailing from old posts at Langley subject to inundation but uni- 
formly sterile. 
Philonotis fontana is abundant in sluggish streams and ditches at 
New Westminster and at Sicamous and elsewhere, associated with 
Camptoihecium niiens and in profuse fruit. 
Polytrichum commune occupies waste and sterile soil and is too 
abundant everywhere. 
Orthotricum cylindrocarpum is abundant locally on old trees in neg- 
lected orchards, and fruiting copiously. 
Dicranum scoparium and D. Bonjeani are found in dense tufts on 
rotting logs and decaying trunks of standing timber, fruiting copi- 
ously. . 
Camptoihecium lutescens occurs at Midway on the Province bound- 
ary and not infrequently farther North ; a beautiful and graceful plant 
and fruiting well. 
Plagiothecium undulatum is a striking and handsome moss creeping 
over rotten logs, its only habitat, easily recognized by its long silvery 
fronds ; fruiting freely in fall and winter. 
Rhyncostegium recurvans is common on rotting prostrate timber. 
Antitrichia Calif ornica is abundant on the trunks of living cotton- 
wood trees encircling them in dense mats to far above easy reach. 
A beautiful moss and abounding in fruit in autumn. 
Orthotrichum Lyellii occurs at Whonnock on the Fraser, fruits spar- 
ingly. 
Brachythecium rivulare is not rare from the Forty-ninth parallel to 
Atlin and farther north, in quiet water and roadside ditches. 
Racomitrium canescens is an abundant and interesting variety, cloth- 
ing rocky ledges and gravelly stream beds with its curious hoariness ; 
quite indifferent to flood or drought, from either of which it emerges 
on the return of improved conditions bright and cheery as ever.
