One of these, the Beaked Water Moss, has already been described on page 129. There are several species of Beaked Mosses that belong in the genus Eurliynchium that are fairly common, but it is doubtful if they can be accurately determined without the aid of the com- pound microscope. EuRHYNCHiuM HiANS (Hedw.) J. & S., the Light Beaked Moss, is very common on sandy soil in the lowlands. It is abundant in the public parks of Brooklyn, but rarely fruits there.
