much acuminated leaves. If this be so, there can be little 
doubt but that the Vancouver plant is specifically distinct 
from the British one, and that the latter must be named 
Plagiothecium Borreriawum Spruce. The Bristish plant has 
been gathered in fruit near Bantry, Ireland, sparingly 
(Miss Hutchins) ; Sussex, England, sparingly (M. Mitteu) ; 
Lennox Castle, Scotland, sparingly (M. Machunlay) ; Eagles 
nest, near Killarney, Ireland (M'. Hunt) ; Arthog, near Bar- 
mouth, England, Messrs Whitehead and Ashton etc.) ; O’Sul-

2. ZYGODON arisrarTus Lindb.— This plant, a description of 
which is published in Lindberg’s « Hepaticae in Hibernia 
lectae », and transferred to page 44 of the Revue Bryologique 
for 1876, was. previously described 4s a species by D' Stirton 
in the Transactions of the Botanical Society of Edinburg, vol. 
. XI, under the name of Z. Stirtoni Schpr. The name Z. arista- 
tus must therefore be superseded by that of Z. Stirtoni. This 
plant has been found very sparingly with fruit in several 
places in Scotland where its occurrence in a barren state is 
notuncommon; but forms apparently mtermediate between 
it and Z. viridissimus are not rare, and lead one to doubt 
whether Z. Stirtoni be specifically distinct from Z. viridissi- 
mus. 
3. CawPyLOPus BReviPILUS. — À variety of this species (B. 
auriculatus J. F. M.S.) has been met with in several places 
in England aud Scotland. It differs from the type in having 
more or less conspicuous auricles composed of large fuscous 
_ cells at the bases of the leaves. In consequenceof these, it so- 
_ metimes, has been mistaken for C. longipilus, from which 
however, the narrow nerve, recurved margins of the peri- 
chaetial leaves, and other characters will always serve to 
distinguish it. 
4, AULACOMNIUM TURGIDUM.— Specimens of this moss long 
look-for in Britain were gathered in 1871 by Professor Barker 
on Ben More in Scotland, and last year a few stems were 
found on Whernside in yorkshire, England, by Dr Lees and 
Mr. West. The specimens, from both localities, are barren.
