My dear Mr, Uichols:- 
I inclose a copy of the names of the mosses 
collected hy Mr. Sheldon in eastern Connecticut. 
There is only one moss that does not appear in your Connecticut 
catalogue, and this ( Polytrichum periponiale ) is merely the new 
name under which the j?, commune of American authors of the past, 
in most cases, must now he known, if my recent studies of the 
P. commune proup are not greatly at fault. I thikk the P. 
commune of- your catalogue is undoubtedly the Michaux plant mentioned 
above, so that it is the name only that does not appear in your 
list. 
There are several plants here listed which are not recorded 
in your list, so to this extent the list may be of interest to you. 
Mosses not recorded from Windham Co. 
Bryum argent©urn 
Mnium medium 
Malum cinclidioides 
Amblystegium adnatum 
Amblystegium serpens 
I have not been over the list (some of the specimens were named 
more than six years ago) to revise the names to date, nor to 
revise authorities for the names, but I think there will be no 
misunderstanding as to just what species is meant in each case. 
Cordially,
