to have a wide distribution in Europe. In addition to the synonyms 
quoted above Douin gives Anthoceros multifidus L., Sp. Plant. 1140. 
1753. If this were actually the same plant the species should of 
course bear the Linnaean name. 4. multifidus, however, was based 
upon a non-binomial species of Dillenius, which Lindberg,’ after , 
examining the type in the Dillenian herbarium, pronounced the same 
as Riccardia multifida (L.) S. F. Gray (Jungermannia multifida L.). 
A. multifidus, therefore, becomes reduced to synonymy and the 
name is not available for future use. The type specimen of Mon- 
tagne's variety was collected in the Canary Islands, and Douin does 
not state whether or not he had examined it personally. 
The differences between A. punctatus and A. crispulus are brought 
out very clearly by Douin, and the following notes are drawn entirely 
from his paper. Both the thallus and the capsule yield differential 
characters. In A. punctatus the thallus is only slightly lobed; in 
A. crispulus the lobing is much more extensive, the lobes arising 
from the surface of the thallus as well as from the margin, thus giving 
it a strongly crispate appearance. In A. punctatus the capsule is 
from thirty to forty times as long as wide at the time of dehiscence; 
in A. crispulus it attains a length of from fifty to seventy times the 
width. In A. punctatus the pseudo-elaters are usually only one or 
two cells long and apparently never exceed a length of three cells; 
in A. crispulus, although short pseudo-elaters occur in abundance, 
much longer ones are also present, some of them being from four to 
nine cells in length. Both species bear dark colored spores, roughened, 
especially on the convex face, by numerous sharp or furcate papillae.
