But the branch leaves and capsules in the two plants are quite distinct. 
In C. americanum the leaf bases have broad, crispate auricles, and a 
large proportion of the leaves are acute. In C. dendroides the leaves 
may be slightly auriculate but the auricles are usually flat, while the 
majority of the leaves are very obtuse. The areolation also differs, 
the median cells in the former being from five to seven, in the latter 
from seven to ten times as long as broad. The capsules of C. den- 
droides ripen in late autumn and are much smaller than those of 
C. americanum. It probably occurs throughout northern North 
America and has been accredited to Maine, New Hampshire, and 
Vermont. Also common to Europe and Asia. 
In addition to the mosses listed above there are a number of new 
stations for species which have heretofore been known from but one 
or two localities. These are as follows: Fissidens bryoides forma 
inconstans Schimp., Farmington (Miss Lorenz); Encalypta ciliata, 
Salisbury (A. W. Evans); Schwetschkeopsis denticulata, Colebrook 
(G. E. N.); Myurella julacea, Salisbury (Miss Lorenz); Thuidium 
abietinum, Canaan (G. E. N.); Brachythecium acuminatum and 
Amblystegium vacillans, Salisbury (G. E. N.). Anacamptodon splach- 
noides may also be recorded from two more towns, Colebrook and 
North Branford (G. E. N.). At the present writing 309 species of 
mosses are known to occur within the limits of the state. Three spe- 
cies have been dropped from the list and thirty have been added dur- 
ing the last four years. During the same time the number of hepatics 
has been increased from 107 to 128, thus making a total at this time 
of 437 bryophytes in Connecticut. 
In conclusion attention is called to a number of errors which have 
been noted in the Bryophytes of Connecticut. P. 101, Dicranum 
fulvum Hook. should read D. montanum Hedw.; synonym should 
be omitted !: p. 109, in the key to species of Tortula the characters 
should be interchanged to read as follows: T. montana — midrib 
excurrent into a long toothed hair-point; T. muralis — midrib ex- 
current into a long smooth hair-point. P. 111, in the key to species 
of Grimmia the characters of the leaf-cells in G. conferta and G. apo- 
carpa have been exactly transposed. Also, the Stafford station for 
Polytrichum alpinum, reported in the last series of Notes?, must be 
omitted; the mistake was due to a confusion of labels.
