7. Sphagnum subsecundum Nees. (S. contortum Schultz, 5 . laricinum 
Spruce). 
Boggy woods near shore, Edwards Island, Lake Superior, July 24, 1913 
( 3731 )l In Myrica bog at mouth of creek, Orient Bay, Lake Nipigon, July 18, 
1914 ( 6306 ). Macoun also reports it for Lake Nipigon. Dr. Andrews notes 
that No. 3731 is the form called by Warnstorff, S. contortum Schultz. 
With a distribution from Greenland and Labrador to Florida, Louisiana, 
and Mexico, and from California to Washington; also Europe and Asia, and 
“regarded as cosmopolitan,” our collections would indicate it, for the North 
Shore and Lake Nipigon regions, as a rather rare moss occurring near the edges 
of large bodies of water. 
8. Sphagnum Girgensohnii Russow. (S. strictum Lindb.). 
Together with the subbicolor form of S. magellanicum (No. 1153), this forms 
most of the open bog margin of a lakelet one-half mile north of Rossport, July 15, 
1912. O. E. Jennings & R. H. Daily; Boggy woods at margin of Perry Lake,

Distributed from Greenland and Labrador to New Jersey and Pennsyl- 
vania; in West Virginia; Ohio; Minnesota; and from Oregon to Alaska; also 
Europe and Asia, our collections show it to have a quite general distribution 
in northwestern Ontario.
