MOSSES FROM CHINA AND JAPAN, 459 
species in the Kew Herbarium (Bryoth. E. Levier, nos. 915, 
2137) in habit, areolation, &e., but the leaves are slightly more 
obtuse, and their teeth fewer. As, however, species of Unium 
are well kuown to be variable in the degree ot obtuseness and 
amount of serration of the leaf, it seems quite safe to consider 
Dr. Heury’s plant a form of the species. M. arcuatum, Broth., 
from Japan (22) is evidently very close to JL curvulum, but, in 
the few stems that I have seen, the areolation of the leaves is 
slightly larger and the perichetial bracts different. It seems 
extiemely probable, however, that M. curvulum, C. Müll., is not 
distinct from M. immarginatum, Lindb. MSS. Broth. Enum. 
Muse. Caucas. p. 12 (1892), from the Caucasus. The habit, shape, 
areolation, &c. of the leaves are identical ; and although Lindberg 
describes the stem of JM. immarginatum (of which only barren 
and female plants are known) as “simplex,” while Miiller (11) 
says of his species “ caulis fertilis apice in ramulos paucos per- 
breves fasciculatim divisus," it is possible that the branching 
described for M. eurculum is caused by innovations subsequently 
arising beneath the perichzetium. The capsules of the fruiting 
specimens of AZ. curvulum described by Müller were deoperculate ; 
in Dr. Henry's specimens a single capsule with a conical-obtuse 
lid was present. 
BA RTRAMIACE E. 
BARTRAMIA POMIFORMIS, Hedw., var. CRISPA, Bry. Eur.— 
China: Tsus Sima, c. fr. (Wilford, May 1859, no. 890) ; Tientai 
Mt., 2000 ft., Prov. Chekiang, c. fr. (Dr. E. Faber, 1889, no. 4). 
There is a moss in Schimper's herbarium named “ Bartramia 
crispata, Schpr.” ; this has been described as a distinct species, 
under this name, by Bescherelle (18. p. 348), with the de- 
scription :—“ Monoica, B. pomiformi var. crispa simillima, foliis 
tamen paulo longioribus, margine supra basin leniter revolutis, 
dentibus acutioribus geminatis diversa." I have failed, however, 
to find any characters separating this moss from the var. crispa of 
B. pomiformis, which shows the revolution of the margin and the 
serration in two rows here given as characters of * B. crispata." 
B. HALLERIANA, Zedw.—China: North Wushan, on rocks, 
6000-8000 ft. (Dr. A. Henry, Sept. 1888, no. 7151); Tibet, 
Yatung, 27? 51' N., 88° 35' E., e. fr. (H. E. Hobson, 1897). 
PaiLoNorIS socra, Mit/.— Besides the original specimens from 
Nagasaki, Japan, there are examples referred to this species by
