Abstract
A collection of the Hepaticae and Anthocerotae made by T. Makino was studied and 85 species were here reported. It included many specimens collected in the central area of Tokyo about 100 years ago; they are of great value in studying the drastic change of natural environment in the metropolis during this century. In the collection were found such epiphytic species as Frullania osumiensis, F. parvistipula, Macvicaria ulophylla, etc., and such terrestrial species as Chiloscyphus polyanthos, Jungermannia atrovirens, Lejeunea japonica, Mannia fragrans, Phaeoceros parvulus, etc.; they have not been found in the area in many decades. A biographical sketch of Tomitaro Makino (1862-1957) and Kiichi Miyake (1876-1964)was also given to show their activities in the early time of Japanese bryology.
