This moss appears to have gro-\vn in moist — perhaps swampj 

 roundings. Its generic position is doubtful, but I think it is probably of 

 Plagiothecioid affinity, \\ith some relationship to the South American genus 

 S^riugotlteciiun, Mitt. ; but in some respects it suggests EntodoutaceiCj in 

 tlie neighbourliood of Stereoph^lhon, The structure of the capsule-wall is, 



as well as the peristome, distinctive.
