12 Rhodora [JANUARY 
CAMPTOTHECIUM NITENS (Schreb). Schimp., var. falcifolium Ren. 
in litt. In a spruce bog, altitude 420 m., Norfolk (G. E. N., 1912). 
. This variety differs from the typical form of the species in its strongly 
falcate-secund leaves; in habit it bears a striking resemblance to 
Drepanocladus revolvens. The credit for identifying the Connecticut 
plants with Renauld’s undescribed variety should be given to Mr. 
Williams. Type collected by A. C. Waghorne at North Bay, New- 
foundland (1893), and preserved in herbarium of New York Botanical 
Garden. ; 
CALLIERGON STRAMINEUM (Dicks.) Kindb. In a spruce bog, alti- 
tude 420 m., Norfolk (G. E. N., 1912). Determinations verified by Mr. 
Williams. In the locality mentioned above two well marked forms of 
this moss are present. One of these occurs in the more open parts 
of the bog, growing especially at the bottom of deep ruts in an old 
wagon trail where the peat is more or less firmly packed down. When 
growing in such situations the plants are very slender and soft, with 
pale green, imbricated leaves, and there is no likelihood of their being 
mistaken for any other local bog species; they never develop very 
luxuriantly here, being more or less intermixed with Camptothecium 
nitens, Scapania irrigua and species of Sphagnum. 
The second form grows partially submerged in shallow pools in some- 
what shaded places and forms pure mats of considerable extent. 
This form is quite robust, with golden green leaves which may spread 
more or less widely and frequently reach a length of more than 2 mm. 
In the field this form might readily be confused with C. cordifoliwm; 
in that species, however, the midrib of the leaves is nearly percurrent 
while in C. stramineum the midrib extends little more than two thirds 
the length of the leaf. Fruit rare, maturing in summer. C. strami- 
neum has been recorded from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,* 
Massachusetts‘, and Rhode Island 5; it is widely distributed through 
Arctic America and Canada, and has been collected as far south as 
Virginia, Ohio, and Wyoming; Europe, Asia. 
DREPANOCLADUS ADUNCUS (L.) Warnst. (Hypnum  uncinatum 
Hedw.). Moist, shaded, sericite schist ledges, altitude 60 m. 
Middletown (G. E. N., 1912). In view of the fact that through a 
nomenclatorial mix-up this moss has previously been erroneously
