Cincinnulus Trichomanis, var. sphagnicola Meylan, Bull. de l'Herb. 
Boissier II. 6: 499. 1906. In tufts of Dicranum Bergeri growing 
in a bog; New Milford, Connecticut (4. W. E.). The present species 
was first described from Swedish specimens but has since been collected 
in Scotland, in Austria, in Switzerland, and apparently in northern 
Germany. 'The New England plants agree closely with the type 
material, and the writer's determination has been confirmed by 
Maevicar. C. sphagnicola is close to C. Trichomanis but differs 
from it in a number of respects and is apparently worthy of specific 
rank. Even when well developed it is a small species and is pale 
green in color, slightly tinged with yellow. The leaves are imbricated 
and spread from the axis at an angle of about 45 degrees, which is 
considerably less than in C. T'richomanis. 'They are distinctly convex, 
the apex being frequently revolute, and they are usually 0.85-1 mm. 
long and 0.6-0.7 mm. wide. The postical base is normally rounded 
and abruptly short-decurrent, and the apex varies from obtuse to 
rounded or slightly emarginate. The leaf-cells average about 40 X 
27 p and develop small but distinct trigones; these are usually tri- 
angular in outline with straight or concave sides but are sometimes
