OF THE FORTY-NINTH PARALLEL OF LATITUDE, 21 
G. VARIA, sp. nov. G., fasciculari simillima, sed major, foliis ovato- 
lanceolatis apice obtusis vel (superioribus) pilo brevi subintegerrimo, 
nervo percurrente, marginibus recurvis, cellulis basi ad latera paucis 
oblongis rectangulatis interioribus elongatis confluentibus crenulatis 
supra folii medium oblongis parietibus transversis distinctioribus su- 
premis quadrato-rotundatis, perichztialibus brevibus late ovatis con- 
volutis, theca in pedunculo elongato cylindracea nitida, operculo su- 
bulato subzquilongo, peristomio dentibus rubris prelongis angustis. 
Hab. British Columbia, Lyall and Douglas; and also in Observatory 
Inlet. 
Much more robust than G. fascicularis, and with short diapha- 
nous points on some of its upper leaves. The leaves are below of 
an oblong-ovate form, the upper third constituting the lanceolate 
point; in this partieular they are intermediate in outline between 
those of G. fascicularis and G. canescens, wanting, however, the 
laxly areolate auricles at the base in the latter. This moss needs 
further observation ; but it can scarcely be considered a form of 
G. fascicularis. 
G. cANESCENS (Dill.). 
Hab. Vancouver Island, Lyall. 
G. LANUGINOSA, Dill. 
Hab. Vancouver Island, Wood. 
No species of Glyphomitrium, Bridel, has yet been received 
from British Columbia; but amongst Drummond's incomplete 
specimens there occurs a small species which has never been 
described. 
GLYPHOMITRIUM, Brid. 
G. CANADENSE, sp. nov. Monoicum, humile, foliis lanceolatis sensim 
acutis, margine inferne recurvo, cellulis basi oblongis ad angulos an- 
gustatis inde in rotundas transeuntibus, perichztialibus latissime 
ovatis convolutis breviter apiculatis, theca in pedunculo bilineari ovali, 
calyptra apice rugosa, habitu G. Daviesii simillimum. 
Hab. British N. America, Drummond. 
The oval capsule and different areolation of the leaves readily 
distinguish this from G. Daviesii, which in size and appearance it 
much resembles. The operculum and peristome are absent. 
BARTRAMIACEE, Mitten. 
Puitonotis, Brid. 
P. FONTANA, Linn. 
Hab. Rocky Mountains, Bourgean; Chilukweyuk and Fort Colville, 
Lyall.
