There are also some few *Mosses* present in the collections. These have been
determined by Dr. V. F. Brotherus and Dr. N. Bryhn and are listed below.
The collections brought home by Dr. Hedin do not claim to be exhaustive
for the regions where he travelled. He had to endure too many hardships and to
travel under such circumstances that it was impossible to employ any considerable
time for collecting, nor was it possible to carry any voluminous collection. It is
really wonderful that he has been able to make any collection at all, and one cannot
refrain from admiring his energy in bestowing time upon botany, working as he was
in some of the most inaccessible tracts of the earth. But apart from the difficult
conditions under which the collection was made, it has real value since very little is
known about the vegetation of those parts of Asia.
I wish here to thank Dr. Hedin for the honour he has done me in confiding
to me the publication of his botanical material. I also wish to thank my collegues
for having spared no labour to make the most of the material they have had in
their hands.

Copenhagen, June 1921.
