per cent of the Mountain Province species are not Malayan at all. 
Returning to the 88 species not found in the Mountain Province 
which are on record from Malaya, only one, Bryum coronatum 
Schw., is found in both hemispheres; one other, Holomitrium 
vaginatum Brid., has been collected in southern and eastern 
Africa, Java, and Tahiti. The extreme range of the remaining 
86 is from Ceylon or India to Polynesia; none of them have 
been found in Australia, Tasmania, or New Zealand. 
Only two extend to Japan, Homoliodendron scalpellifolium 
(Mitt.) Fleisch., otherwise known from the Moluccas to Ceylon 
and Tonkin, and Leucobryum bowringii Mitt., Himalayas and 
Ceylon to Celebes, also in Hongkong and Formosa. One other 
reaches the Liu Kiu Archipelago, Thuidium glaucinum Broth., 
whose southeastern limit is New Mecklenburg; while Disticho- 
phyllum mittenii Bryol. Jav. is scattered from Ceylon to Formosa 
and New Caledonia. 
Aerobryopsis lanosa (Mitt.) Broth, is the only one of the 
remainder to reach China; Rhynchostegium celebicum (Bryol. 
Jav.) Jaeg. and R. menadense (Bryol. Jav.) Jaeg. are confined 
to the Philippines, Celebes, and Tonkin. Three species, Hypno- 
dendron reinwar dtii (Hornsch.) Broth., Trichosteleum hamatum 
(Doz. & Molk.) Jaeg., and Syrrhopodon albo-vaginatus Schw. 
are Malayan except for an extension to Polynesia; the other six 
species which reach Polynesia are not only in Malaya, but also 
in Ceylon or India or both. These are Leucobryum sanctum 
Hampe, Leucophanes candidum (Hornsch.) Lindb., Syrrhopodon 
muelleri (Doz. & Molk.) Lac, Callicostella papillata (Mont.) 
Jaeg., Thuidium plumulosum (Doz. & Molk.) Bryol. Jav., and 
Taxithelium papillatum (Harv.) Broth. Trismegistia rigida 
(Reinw. & Hornsch.) Broth, and Macromitrium salakanum C. M. 
extend from New Caledonia to Sumatra, and to Java, 
respectively. 
Twenty others occur in India, Ceylon, or Burma, and in one 
to several of the islands of the Malay Archipelago. This list 
comprises Symblepharis reinwardtii Broth., Dicranoloma blumei 
(Nees) Ren., Leucobryum angustif olium Wils., Syrrhopodon 
ciliatus Schw., 5. tristichus Nees, Macromitrium fasciculare 
Mitt., Bryum compressidens C. M., Racelopus pilifer Doz. & 
Molk., Myurium rufescens (Reinw. & Hornsch.) Fleisch., DaL 
tonia angustif olia Doz. & Molk., Chaetomitrium papillif olium 
Bryol. Jav., Thuidium trachypodum (Mitt.) Bryol. Jav., Ectro- 
pothecium cyperoides (Hook.) Jaeg., Trismegistia lancifolia 
Harv.) Broth., Taxithelium nepalense (Schw.) Broth., Vesicula- 
ria reticulata (Doz. & Molk.) Broth., Meiothecium jagori (C. M.)
