This is the T. cespitosa var. of Hook. fil. et Wils. in Fl. New Zea- 
land; but it is assuredly distinct from T. Northiana, Grev., in the much 
narrower leaves with undulated margins.

Hab. Tasmania, Cheshunt, Mr. Archer. 
These specimens are so different at first sight from those from New 
Zealand, from the turgid, inflated state of the perichetial leaves, that, 
relying on the figure, they were considered distinct; but an examina- 
tion of authentic specimens shows that the species has not. been fairly 
illustrated. The capsule is globose, without any apiculus ; and the api- 
culus observable in the figures above quoted represents, much too large, 
the minute calyptra. The calyptra figured more nearly represents one 
of the lower leaves than any other portion of the moss. The margins 
of the leaves are generally obtusely crenate at the apex.

Divided by Mr. Wilson (F?. Tasmanica ined.) into three species, di- 
stinguished from each other by the ontline of the leaves ; but the struc- 
ture is the same in all, and the differences appear of the same import- 
ance as those observable in forms of S. ruralis and S. levipila.
