90 ME. W. MITTEN ON THE HEPATIC^ OE THE EAST INDIES. 



the ' Synopsis Hepaticarum' by Gottsche Lindenberg and Nees von 

 Esenbeck. 



The arrangement is nearly that of the ' Synopsis ;' but certain 

 genera have been removed from the group with succubous, to that 

 with incubous leaves. Alicularia and Gymnomitrium are included 

 in Jungermannia, and Phragmicoma and Thysananthus are united 

 to Lejeunia ; Jungermannia setacea is now first removed to Lepi- 

 dozia, and J. tricliophylla to Ptilidium. Sendtnera Woodsii is 

 remarkable for its recurrence in the Eastern Himalaya. Com- 

 pared with the Musci, the Indian Hepaticse are few in num- 

 ber ; but very little is yet known of the species which must inhabit 

 the peninsula, and particularly the Nilgiri Mountains, where the 

 transition from the North Indian species to those of Ceylon and 

 the Indian Archipelago would be likely to offer some interesting 

 forms.
