It verges toward Jungermannia § Sphenolobus, of which J. minuta 
is a well known representative. 
3. Diplophyllum albicans (L.) Dumort, has been found at Mt. 
Desert, Maine (Rand). It is found in various parts of British 
America ranging from Nova Scotia to Vancouver; Mr. Waghorne 
has also sent it from Newfoundland, where it seems to be quite 
common. D. taxifolium (Wahlenb.) Dumort, given in the Man- 
ual as a variety of this species, must be regarded as distinct.* 
4. Mylia anomala (Hook.) S. F. Gray. Collected sparingly 
at Mt. Desert, Maine (Rand) and more abundantly in Connec- 
ticut (Evans), whence we shall be able to distribute it in the next 
issue of Hepatice Americane. Itis distinguished from M. Tay- 
lori by having both acute and obtuse leaves on the same stems, 
as well as by its general habit. 
5. Kantia arguta (N. & M.) Lindb. Growing over flower- 
pots in the greenhouse of Mr. James Ritchie, in Philadelphia, Pa., 
collected by Mrs. Mary P. Haines and communicated from the 
Torrey Herbarium; specimens also in the Roy collection are now 
in my possession. This is evidently an introduced plant brought 
from Europe, like Lunularia vulgaris, and growing in similar sit- 
uations. 
6. Fossombronia cristata, Lindb. Growing on clay banks at 
Fern, Putnam County, Indiana, November, 1891; what appears 
to be the same thing was collected at Readville, Perry County, 
Ohio, October, 1891 (Werner). These are undoubtedly the 
forms that were confused by Sullivant and others with 7 pusilla; 
we have not seen fertile specimens of the last named species from 
this country, and it is useless to attempt to name sterile specimens 
of this genus. 
7. Metzgeria furcata (L.) Dumort. In reviewing a large 
series of specimens of Metzgeria, nearly all of which are sterile, 
we find several which have the thallus characters of M. furcal™ 
which in the sterile state is too close to M. conjugata to be agree 
* Besides the three species mentioned above, we have two additional ones from 
N. W. America ; D. obtnsifolium (Hook.) Dumort, and D. argeniea (Tayl.) Spruce:
