specimens showed that in other capsules the cilia were 

 more strongly appendiculate; the sHght variation in this 

 character being only what is commonly found in other 

 species of Bryum/e g. B. pallens. In Kindberg's specimen, 

 which M. Gardot obligingly sent me for comparison, the 

 cilia are very regularly and strongly appendiculate. 

 Curiously enough, in spite of the strongly appendiculate 

 cilia, Kindberg has now (Eur. and N Amer. Bry. p. 374) 

 placed this species in the sub-genus Cladodium ! 



B. meeseoides has not previously been detected in 

 Europe, and being a well marked species it is an interesting 

 discovery. It is recorded by Kindberg from several North 

 American localities; all within British America, from 

 Quebec on the East to Vancouver on the West. In the 

 Norwegian locality Mr. Nicholson gathered it on wet 

 sandy ground by a roadside. The capsules are produced in 

 great abundance^ and the slender, curveii neck gives them 

 a conspicuously oblique appearance, well characterised by 



the specific name. 



I may add that I have been unable to confirm the 

 description given by Kindberg of the inner peristome, 

 '' basilar membrane very low or indistinct ".

Une excursion a Jersey. 



Les nombreux voyageurs qui se rendent pendant la belle 

 saison dans les iles anglo-normandes sont plutot attir6s par 

 la beaute des sites que par la variety des plantes que Ton 

 rencontre a profusion dans ces coins de terre charmants. 

 Si les touristes y passent par milliers, plus rares sont les 

 botanistes qui en ont etudie la flore, car il n'existe a ce 

 sujet, a ma connaissange du moins, que la relation publi6e 

 par M. Gardot, a la suite d'un voyage qu'il fit en 1885, k 

 Jersey et h Guernesey (1) et le catalogue des Mousses de 

 Guernesey par M. Marquand (2) 



Ayant eu aussi Toccasion d'aller passer quelques jours a 

 Jersey pendant le mois d'aoiit dernier, j'ai occupy mes 

 loisirs a explorer les paroisses de St-IIelier, de St-Pierre, de 

 St-Brelade, de St-Ouen et de St-Martin. J'ai 6t6 assez 

 heureux pour recueillir 110 especes de mousses bien
