acutis, nervo ad 2 evanido, marginibus basi recurvis inde ad apicem 
serratis, cellulis elongatis angustis, perichztialibus e basi late ovali 
subulatis serrulatis brevinervatis, theca in pedunculo elongato levi 
ovali inclinata, in collum sensim attenuata, operculo conico curviros- 
trato, peristomio interno processibus ciliis binis in unum conflatis sub- 
zquilongis, in membrana fere ad medium dentium longitudinis ex- 
serta. 
Hab. Moist banks, Ohosima, Japan, Oldham, Oct. 1861. 
Dull brownish green. In size and habit agreeing with H. con- 
fertum, Dicks., but more nearly allied to H. rhaphidorrhynchum, 
C. Müller, and, excepting that its seta is smooth, to ZZ. speciosum, 
Wils. Inthe inclined capsule it resembles ZZ. murale, Hedw., 
which has its fruit sometimes nearly erect. 
H. PALLIDIFOLIUM, sp. nov.  Monoicum, caule procumbente ramis 
laxis laxe czespitosis, foliis compressis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis, 
nervo ad $ evanido, marginibus serrulatis, cellulis elongatis angustis, 
perichetialibus e basi ovali subulatis integerrimis nervatis, theca in 
pedunculo gracili rubro horizontali ovali-cylindracea inzequali, peri- 
stomio interno processibus ciliis binis zequilongis.trabeculatis in mem- 
brana ad tertiam partem dentium longitudinis exserta. 
Hab. Nagasaki, Japan, Oldham. 
Glossy pale green. Foliage much compressed, unaltered when 
dry ; leaves less rigid than in H. inclinatum and more acuminate ; 
periehztial leaves entire; capsule horizontal or drooping, and 
internal peristome different. It has somewhat the appearance 
of some states of H. tenuifolium, Hedw., but the leaves are more 
acuminated.

S. HASTILIS, sp. nov. Dioicus, czspitosus, caule procumbente pinnato, 
foliis squarrosis e basi lata cordata subzequilatero-triangulari lanceo- 
lato-subulatis tenuiter acuminatis, foliis rameis lanceolatis, nervis obso- 
letis, marginibus serrulatis, cellulis omnibus elongatis angustis levibus, 
perichztialibus erectis lanceolato-subulatis serrulatis, theca in pedun- 
culo elongato rubro crassiusculo ovali, operculo conico, calyptra 
ramentis elongatis pluribus obtecta. 
Hab. Nagasaki, Japan, Oldham. 
In habit and appearance nearly allied to the S. lichnites, Mitten, 
of India, and to S. pilosus, Hook. f. et Wils., of New Zealand, 
but distinct in its leaves being attenuated from a wide triangular 
base. The calyptra is more pilose than in any species yet included 
in the small group of which S. molluscus (Hedw.) is the European 
form. The capsules are all too young, but appear to be arcuate.
