Abstract
The first investigation of the mosses of Kerguelen was made by Dr. J. D. Hooker during the voyage of the “Erebus” and “Terror” in the winter of 1840. From the collections made by him there were described 31 species and varieties, which were arranged as 25 species in 11 genera. Of the whole number six species were considered to be new and undescribed, and the remainder to have been found in other regions. The most remarkable species contained in this collection are the Schistidium marginatum, Weissia stricta, and W. tortifolia .
