siccitate spiraliter tortis madore patentibus lineari-lanceolatis apice 
breviter apiculatis nervo fusco sub apice evanido carinatis integerrimis 
cellulis basi angustis elongatis superioribus rotundatis diametro cir- 
citer 37/55 unciz metientibus breviter papillosis distinctis, perichetia-

Hab. On stones, Cataract Hill, Tasmania, Mr. Archer. 
Leaves longer and narrower than those of M. microstomum, with cells

зо of an inch. 
M. LIGULARE (Mitten). Dioicum? M. erosulo simile, foliis siccitate 
tortis subcirrhatis linearibus ligulatis obtusis vel nervo excurrente 
brevissime apiculatis carmatisque cellulis inferne pro spatio brevi 
ovoideis cito in rotundatas approximatas papillosas obscuriusculas 
transeuntibus margine erosulo, perichetialibus brevioribus ovatis 
acutis, theca in pedunculo trilmeari ovali circa os intensius colorata 
et plicata, operculo conico acuminato, calyptra nuda, peristomio sim- 
plici dentibus brevibus. 
Hab. New Zealand, Kerr; Waikeki, Dr. Sinclair. 
Smaller than M. prorepens; leaves more crisped, with cells at their 
bases of an oblong or ovoid form. 
M. EROSULUM (Mitten). Dioicum ? caule repente, ramis brevibus sim- 
plicibus ramulosisve dense stratosis, foliis siccitate compacte tortis 
incurvisque madore patentibus e basi subelliptica ligulatis obtusis 
nervo flavo-fusco excurrente breviter mucronatis carinatisque margine 
papillis prominentibus eroso, cellulis inferioribus elongatis angustis 
levibus superioribus apicem versus obscuriusculis grosse papillosis, 
perichetialibus paululo latioribus acutis, theca in pedunculo circiter 
trilineari ovali fusca circa os intensius colorata et plicata, operculo 
subulato subsequilongo, peristomio simplici dentibus brevibus, calyptra 
ramentis appressis sparsis pilosa. 
Hab. New Zealand, Kerr; near Wellington, Stephenson ; Middle

In habit, size, and colour similar to M. prorepens, but the bases of its 
leaves narrower, the upper portion longer, more obtuse, the cells larger 
and less obscure. M. prorepens is monoicous. 
M. AncHERI (Mitten). M. hemitrichodi simillimum, folis siccitate 
tortis subcrispatis madore patentibus inferne ellipticis inde lanceo- 
latis obtusiusculis nervo excurrente carinatis brevissime apiculatis
