ECTROPOTHECIUM INFLECTENS, Jaeg.— China: Hong-kong (C. 
Ford, 1890, nos. 214, 279). The inflorescence in this species 
is autoicous. 
ENTODON NANOCARPUS, C. Müll.—China: Chefoo Mts., Prov. 
Shantung (Dr. E. Faber, 1889, no. 13). Capsule slightly wider 
aud seta longer (10-14 mill) than in the original examples of 
the species from Sehen-Si, in which the seta is about 10 mill. 
long. 
E. saponicus, C. Müll.—Japan: Nikko (C. Ford, Oct. 1890, 
no. 291). 
PLAGIOTHECIUM LEVIGATUM, Schimp. MSS., Besch.—China: 
Shanghai, e. fr. Jan. 1861 (coliected probably by Dr. A. C. 
Maingay). 
This species was described by Bescherelle (18) from Japanese 
specimens without fruit, collected by Dr. Savatier. In the set of 
Savatier's mosses in Schimper's herbarium at Kew the specimens 
have, like the Chinese ones, a few old capsules. 
The following characters may be added to Bescherelle's diagno- 
sis:—Autoicum; floribus masculis gemmiformibus prope femineos 
positis, foliis perigonialibus ovatis aeutis concavis, paraphysibus 
paucis, foliis perichetialibus exterioribus late ovato-acuminatis, 
interioribus oblongo-lanceolatis erecto-convolutis longe acumi- 
natis, omnibus integris vel apicem versus minutissime et remote 
crenulatis, capsula in peduneulo brevi (5 mill.) erecto levi rubro 
ovato-cylindrica erecta vel inclinata 13-2 mill. longa annulata, 
annulo e cellularum seriebus nonnullis composito. 
In the Japanese example the capsule is 13 mill. long; the 
Chinese specimen represents a robust form of the species, with 
the capsule 2 mill. long.
