striking, and, according to the description, the characters drawn from 

 the elaters would indicate a relationship with this species rather than 

 with P. platyphyUa. Unfortunately the structure of the elaters is not 

 quite so uniform as Schiffner implies. In the single mature capsule 

 examined by the writer (taken from Kryptogamen Badens 164), 

 some of the elaters agree closely with Schiffner's description ; in others, 

 however, the unispiral portions at the ends are very short, and a few 

 elaters are bispiral throughout, the two spirals forming a loop just 

 as in P. platyphyUa. In its elaters, therefore, M. Baurri is inter- 

 mediate between P. platyphylloidca and P. platyphyUa. 



The additions to local state floras, not already mentioned on the 

 preceding pages, are as follows: — 



For Maine. Crphalozia macrostachya, Round Mountain Lake and 

 vicinity, Franklin County {A. Lorenz). 



For New Hampshire. Calypogeia sphagnicola, Mt. Monadnoek 

 (A. Lomiz). 



For Massachusetts. Riccia Lescuriana, Northampton (A. Lorenz). 

 Riccia sorocarpa, Deerfield (A. Lorenz). Lophozia alpestris and 

 Sphenotobus Ilellerianus, Sheffield (A. Lorenz). Lophozia attenuata 

 and Sphenotobus minutus, Mt. Everett, town of Mt. Washington 

 {A. Lorenz). 



As already noted the New England records for Scapania gracilis 

 and Porella rivtdaris and the Vermont record for Scapania dentata 

 should be erased. The New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode 

 Island records for Porella platyphyUa, which were marked in the 

 Revised List with the sign " + ," should now be marked with the 

 sign " — ." The Massachusetts record for Grimaldia jragrans, however, 

 which was marked in the Revised List with the sign " — ," may now 

 be marked with the sign "+," the necessary specimens having been 

 collected by A. Lorenz. 



The census of New England Hepaticae now stands as follows: 

 Total number of species recorded, 185; number recorded from Maine, 

 131, for New Hampshire, 138; for Vermont, 120; for Massachusetts, 

 110; for Connecticut, 141; common to all six states, 59.
