A collection of mosses was made by the author during Sept.-Oct., 1961, from Kashmir which lies between 32° 18'-37° N and 73° 26'-80° E in N. W. corner of India. The areas covered are the mountainous regions surrounding the Kashmir valley with altitudes ranging from 2000-4500 m above sea level. Altogether 414 packets of mosses were collected which yielded 107 species and 6 varieties, spreading over to 51 genera and 22 families. These include one new species Habrodon kashmiriensis Vohra sp. nov. and 6 species and 1 variety new to India. In this paper all the species are enumerated with field data and distribution.
