Leaves serrulate all around, recurved only near base, subde- 
current not densely crowded; alar cells numerous finally yellow 
on a suboval space; costa smooth well-distinct gen. long but 
not reaching to acumen.  Stem-leaves subovate short-acumina- 
te often with long filiform point; branch-leaves narrowly ovate- 
oblong long-acuminate with short filiform point.  Perichetial 
leaves contracted to a long serrulate subulate filiform-pointed 
acumen. Capsule subeylindrie us. inclined; cilia short; lid 
short-rostrate. Stem suberect or decumbent; branches some- 
times flagellate. Tufts loose us. green. — On rocks and base

Differs from the last: Leaves shorter and crowded; those of . 
branches broad-ovate subobtuse without filiform point. Capsule 
suboval larger. Stem rigid; branches subjulaceous. — Stones

Differs from J, myosuroides: Leaves narrower with long fili- 
form point; alar cells often finally brown on a round space. 
Stem-leaves nearly entire; branch-leaves ovate-lanceolate; costa 
us. faint vanishing far below acumen, sometimes double orin-

»Leaves loosely imbricate; those below the perichetium cor- 
date-ovate narrowly long-acuminate, minutely serrulate on. the 
borders, nearly smooth at the cuspidate apex, with a very short 
ffused costa, forking or entire, vanishing in middle; cells of 
basal angles obscured or dusky; leaves of branchlets elliptical- 
ovate acute serrulate nerved to the middle; the perichetial su- 
bulate from an oblong ecostate base, recurved, very entire. 
Capsule oval inclined; pedicel short; lid conical; cilia short. — 
Mitten, who had seen only two stems of this moss, says that 
it may be H. Brewerianum Lesq., but that the description of 
at species is not sufficiently complete to be quite certain. —
