 of the North American Species of Frullania," ^ F. virginica is recofr- 

 nized as a distinct species, althono:h it is acknowledged that it cannot

 ditfcHMitial characters which are there relii>d upon ar(> drawn from th(> 

 perianths. In F. eborarcn.^-i.s' these are described as smooth and desti- 

 tute of supplementarv ridges, while in F. virgin ira they are said to be 

 tuberculate and i)rovided with several sui)plementarv ridges. Even 

 these differences are admitted somewhat tentatively, and the state- 

 ment is made that there is occasionally a trace of an antical keel in F. 

 ehoraceusis. The study of a wide series of specimens has since made 

 it evident that the ])erianth in F. chomcensis is much less constant in 

 its characters than had been supposed and that it not infrequently 

 shows a tul)erculate surface and also supplementary ridges. In fa(-t 

 a single sjiecimtMi will often show gradations between a ])erianth of 

 this ly])e and a smooth perianth. In view of these facts it seems 

 necessary to rcdnc(> /•'. rirginirn to synonymy and to consider it one 

 of the many forms of /-'. rhorarcnsis. Understood in this broad sense 

 the species now includes seven forms of Frullania which have been 

 described as distinct species by various authors. It is exceedingly 

 common in eastern North America and has been collected in eacl^of 

 the New England states. 



In addition to the species noted in the preci-ding pages, Crp/ialozia 

 connircns and Cliihm-i/phu.s- pallrsvcns may be recorded from Cumb<>r- 

 land, Maine. The specinuMis were collected by E. P. Chamberlain 

 and kindly communicated by Miss Haynes. The following species 

 may also be recorded from Rhode Island: Kaniia Sulllvantt'l, ]\Iiddle- 

 town (.4. W. E.); Lophozia bicrrnata, North Kingston (A. J]\ E.); 

 Odontoschisma prosfratiim, Middletown (J. 11'. E.). The Maine
