Turkey, Pontic Mts, Altindere valley National Park at Trabzon town, at Sumela monastery, volcanic bedrock, 1,080-1,280 m a.s.l. 18 and 19.07.2001. 3. Turkey, Pontic Mts, at Arde§en town, between Camhhemsjn village and Zil Kale castle, at Hasan Yildizin spring, 630 m a.s.l., 19.07.2001. 4. Turkey, Pontic Mts, at Ardegen town, stream valley near Zil Kale castle after Çamhhemsin village, volcanic bedrock, 700 m a.s.l., 20.07.2001. 5. Turkey, Pontic Mts, at Ardesen town, Zil Kale castle after Çamhhemsjn village, 700 m a.s.l., 20.07.2001. 6. Turkey, Pontic Mts, at Firtina river between Çamhhemsin village and Zil Kale castle at Senyuva village, 380 m a.s.l., 20.07.2001. 7. Turkey, Pontic Mts, at Ardesen town, rock walls in Çamhhemgin village, 320 m a.s.l., 20.07.2001. 8. Turkey, Pontic Mts, at Ardesen town, between Ayder and Kavron village, picnic spot (Hakaki Ayder Bali Satis reyonu S. S. Tarimsal Kalkinma Kooperatifi), 5 km from Ayder, 1,570 m a.s.l., 20.07.2001. 9. Turkey, Pontic Mts, at Ardesen town, from Ayder to Kavron village, 6 km from Kavron, alpine-subalpine vegetation, 1,740 m a.s.l., 21.07.2001. RESULTS Altogether 151 bryophyte taxa (38 liverworts and 113 mosses) were collected during the field trip. 5 species (3 hepatics and 2 mosses) are reported for the first time from Turkey based on FREY and KÜRSCHNER (1991) and Erdag (pers. comm.). These are as follows: Harpanthus scutatus, Nardia scalaris, Scapania subalpina, Blindia caespiticia and Taxiphyllum densifolium. Careful comparison of the old and recent literature showed 53 taxa (10 liverworts and 43 mosses) new to the A4 grid square of HENDERSON (1961). Two of them, Encalypta streptocarpa and Leucodon immersus, were reported earlier from the neighbouring A3 square (HENDERSON 1961), which also belongs to the area of Pontic Mts but situated westward from our area of investigation. In the following record the species name is followed by the number of location and substrate. The asterisks mark the species that have been first recorded from the A4 grid square.
