556 ME. W. MITTEN OK EUROPEAN AND NOBTH-AMEBTCAN 



appear to each observer, as did the British, a nondescript. F. Los- 

 cosianus, Juratzka, Hedwigia, 1867, No. 10, p. 145, seems also 

 to belong here. — Norway, Sommerfeldt. Good specimens marked 

 F. viridulus are in Schimper's herbarium from Dr. Lindberg. 

 Britain, Sussex : one small colony only yet seen. On the Con- 

 tinent probably widely spread, but not abundant ? 



7. F. mintttttltts, Sull. Icon. p. 37, t. 24. — Very near to that 

 state of F. exilis which was called by Wilson "Lylei." Austin 

 referred it to F. incurvus, his idea of which was very elastic. 

 — North America. 



8. F. Cuenovii. — F. bryoides, var. csespitans, Scliinip. Syn. 

 ed. 2, p. 111. — F. bryoides, aquatic state, Wils. More robust 

 than F. bryoides, stems sometimes more than an inch high. 

 Foliage pale glaucous green ; limb everywhere distinct : areola- 

 tion of small pellucid cells. Fruit-stalk red ; capsule, when just 

 mature, green. — South-west England and Lundy Island, on rocks 

 near water; also in Teneriffe. The White Mountains, North 

 America. 



9. F. eontanus. — F. incurvus, y. fontanus, Bry. Furop. — 

 F. viridulus, var. crassipes, Wils. — F. crassipes, var. rufipes, 

 ScJiimp. Syn. ed. 2, p. 114. — F. Mildeanus, ScJiimp. in Herb. It 

 is not quite certain that all these should be included in one 

 species. — Europe and North America. 



10. F. eueulus, ScJiimp. , BraitJno. Brit. Moss-Fl. t. xi. B. 

 Similar to the preceding. F. Panizzii, De Notaris, may belong 

 to this. 



11. F. flobidanus, Lesq. et James, Man. p. 83. Described as 

 similar to F. crassipes, and as having a long-beaked lid. It may 

 not be correctly placed here. — Florida. 



12. F. ventbicostjs, Lesq., Sull. Icon. p. 45, t. 30. Appears 

 to be similar to F. rufulus; but it has the capsule only just 

 exserted above the apical leaves. — California. 



13. F. texantjs, Lesq. et James, Man. p. 86. Described as 

 related to F. incurvus. — Texas. 



14. F. limbatus, Sull. in Expl. and Survey Pacific Rail, near 

 25th Par. p. 145, t. 1. A small species like F. incurvus, but with 

 shorter leaves. — San Francisco, California. 



15. F. Obrti, Lindb., Braithw. Brit. Moss-Fl. t. x. F. Like 

 F. incurvus, but with narrower leaves. — Ireland.
