Head, and in a rivulet north side of the Western Mountains, at an 
altitude of about 2000 feet, Mr. Archer. 
Notwithstanding the observations of M. C. Müller, there appears to 
be no real difference between these and European specimens. 
** Vaginella. 
B. papillata, Hook. fil. et Wils. in Fl. Nov. Zealand. p. 89, t. 86. f. 4. 
(B. acerosa, Hampe, Plante Muelleriane !) 
Hab. Tasmania, east side of Ovens Creek, Mr. Archer. 
B. rracitis (Mitten). Dioica? dense cespitosa, caule erecto sub- 
simplici, foliis densis fragillimis erecto-patentibus e basi appressa laxe 
vaginante oblonga superne paululum dilatata ibique tenuiter hyalino 
marginata laxe areolata subito subulato longe lanceolatis cellulis ob- 
scuris densis nervo percurrente margine dorsoque serrulatis, periche- 
tialibus lanceolatis inconspicuis, theca in pedunculo breviusculo rubro 
globosa plicata erecta, operculo brevi conico, peristomio externo nor- 
mali interno processibus brevissimis rudimentariis. 
Hab. On rocks, rivulet behind Cumming's Head, Western Mountains, 
Tasmania, Mr. Archer ; New Zealand, Mr. Kerr. 
More densely and compactly ceespitose than B. papillata, Hook. fil. 
et Wils. The subulate portion of the leaf wider, less papillose, and not 
80 obscure. The inflorescence appears to be dioicous. The leaves are 
so densely congested that the vaginant base is not erect, but only ap- 
pressed to those above it, and the slightest touch suffices to detach 
them from the stem. 
2. PHILONOTIS, Brid. 
(Conostomum.) 
P. pusilla. (Conostomum, Hook. fil. et Wils. in Fl. Nov. Zeland.) 
Hab. Tasmania, on rocks, the Falls, rivulet behind Cumming’s Head,

P. australis. (Conostomum, Swartz.) | 
Hab. Tasmania, in the same localities as the preceding, but barren, 
Mr. Archer. Е 
Bartramia (Philonotis) curvirostra, Mitten, collected in Victoria, Ац- 
stralia by Dr. F. Müller; belongs to the same section as the two fore- 
going species, but is much smaller.

P. appressa. (Bartramia, Hook. fil. et Wils. in Fl. Nov. Zeland.) 
Hab. Tasmania, on rocks, Elliott Rivulet, rivulet near Cumming's Head,
