in size and habit, but less abundant in fruit, until they above 300- 
400 m. form large, deep, dark purplish-brown, barren tufts in rills 
and round springs.” Schiffner recognizes the following varieties by 
' name: var. bipartita (K. Müll.) Schiffn., var. elongata (Nees) Schiffn., 
and var. rivularis Schiffn. The first of these is known from a single 
locality in the Vosges Mountains of France. The second, which is 
commoner, is not very clearly distinguished and seems to intergrade 
with the typical form of the species; Collins's specimens from Mt. 
Katahdin and Allen's from Mt. Washington represent it fairly well. 
The third is not yet definitely known from North America; it was 
based on sterile, completely submerged specimens from Bohemia, 
collected by Schiffner, and the opinion is expressed by its author that 
it may represent a distinct specific type. Schiffner! has lately re- 
ferred to this variety, as a forma flaccida, the Jungermannia flaccida 
of Hübener, a species from Germany and Norway, which had long ago 
disappeared from the literature. If the specific status of the variety 
should ever be established the plant should of course bear Hübener's 
specific name.

CA. Lorenz & A. W. E.). Widely distributed in Europe and recently 
collected by G. E. Nichols? on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. 
The species has recently been discussed at length by the writer,’ 
so that it will be sufficient to compare it here with the closely related 
C. connivens (Dicks.) Lindb. Both species are characterized by a 
pale color, deeply bilobed leaves, with sharp connivent lobes, an autoi- 
cous inflorescence and a perianth with a long-ciliate mouth. "They 
may be at once distinguished, however, by their leaf-cells. In C. 
Loitlesbergeri these average about 30 u in diameter; in C. connivens, 
about50 u. In all probability C. Loitlesbergeri will be found to have a 
wide distribution in eastern North America.
