NOTES ON NEW ENGLAND HEPATICAE,— VIII. 
ALEXANDER W. EVANS. 
Tue additions made to the hepatic flora of New England during 
the past year include two Ricciaceae, the rare Lophozia Kaurini, and 
two species of Frullania. All of these are discussed in the present 
paper. Another species, Pedinophyllum interruptum, although found 
in New England by Oakes many years ago and cited by Austin and 
Underwood, is here recorded for the first time from a definite New 
England locality. Attention is also called to three species of Lophozia 
which are variously interpreted by authors, and a number of additions 
to local state floras are mentioned at the close of the paper.

Brookfield (4. W. E.). The occurrence of R. sorocarpa in Connecti- 
cut has already been recorded by Sheldon. In all probability its 
range extends throughout New England, although no stations, other 
than those noted, are known at the present time. According to 
Underwood ? the species has been found in New York, New Jersey, 
South Carolina, Illinois, and California, while C. Jensen ? reports it
