Fifty-eight species of mosses (37 genera, 18 families( and 4 species of liverworts (3 genera, 3 families) are reported from Konza Prairie Research Natural Area, a 3,487 hectare tallgrass prairie preserve in northeastern Kansas. Factors affecting the growth and persistence of bryophytes on the prairie are discussed. The occurrence of bryophytes in presettlement tallgrass prairies was probably influenced by natural disturbance due to grazing and recurring fire

Normal hematological and blood chemistry were measured in 45 American bison (Bison bison) that were divided into three age groups for comparison. There was a statistically significant (P less than .05) increase with advancing age in mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, absolute neutrophil and eosinophil counts, total protein, globulin, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen. There was a statistically significant (P less than .05) decrease with advancing age in levels of sorbital dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, glucose, sodium, calcium and phosphorus. Key words: Hematology, blood chemistry, American bison, Bison bison, age groups

A serologic survey was conducted on an American bison (Bison bison) herd in Kansas for antibodies against Brucella spp., Leptospira interrogans serovar canicola, pomona, grippotyphosa, icterohaemorrhagiae, and hardjo, Anaplasma spp., bluetongue virus, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and bovine viral diarrhea virus. There was an increase in prevalence of bluetongue antibodies from 38\% in 1987 to 100\% in 1989 in animals greater than or equal to 24 mo-old. Prevalence of antibodies against the other livestock pathogens were either negative or at levels associated with previous vaccination.

Bryophyte collecting in Riley County, Kansas and neighboring counties since September 1987 has yielded four species of mosses not previously reported from the state of Kansas. In addition to these species, new records are cited for 13 species considered rare in occurrence in the state, and new county records are given for an additional 34 species. One hundred fifty-six species of mosses are now known to occur in the state. The moss flora of Kansas is still inadequately known, and further systematic collecting anywhere in the state can be expected to yield additional distributional records
