21c NOTES ON SOME FIJIAN MOSSES. By William Greenwood. [Read 26th September, 1945.] Mr. H. N. Dixon, the noted authority on mosses, died in May, 1944, ending a correspondence with the author which had lasted twenty-five years. Since "The Mosses of Fiji" appeared (these Proceedings, Iv, 1930, 261-302) Mr. E. B. Bartram has published two important papers on Fijian mosses (Contribution to the Mosses of Fiji, Occasional Papers, Bishop Museum, Vol. xi. No. 20, 1936, and Additions to the Mosses of Fiji, The Bryologist, Vol. xlvii, 1944). These papers brought the number of mosses known from Fiji to about 250. During the last few years the late Mr. H. N. Dixon has named numerous Fijian mosses for the author and these include 12 species not previously known from Fiji. Also a number of previously known species have been found in new localities in Fiji. This paper is prepared so as to make this information available. All the numbers given have been collected by the author on the island of Viti Levu and have been seen and named by the late H. N. Dixon. In "The Mosses of Fiji" the probable number of Fijian mosses was given as about 415. Mr. E. B. Bartram (loc. cit.) thinks this number slightly optimistic and with his opinion the author now agrees. I have put Tanithelium in Sematophyllaceae (not in Hypnaceae, as in "The Mosses of Fiji"), following more recent papers. Dicranaceae. DiCRANOLOMA BRAUNii (CM.) Par. Near summit of Loma Lega Mt, Nadarivatu, c. 3,800 ft.. May, 1941; (674). DiCRANELLA FLACCIDULA Mitt. On clay banks, hills, Navua to Suva road, Namosi, c. 600 ft., May, 1943; (952).
