 Henry,- on the branches of a tree, in a glen near Irhang, 

 Ilupoh (Central China, Mar. n, 1888, nr. 7910, The specimens 

 are luxuriant fruiting examples of the species, and agree in 

 every way with Sullivanl's description of his species, and 

 with llio specimens sent bv IsV^ Britton. 



Up to the present M. pcndiilnm lias been known only from 

 Louisiana, U. S. A., whence it was originally described by 

 Sullivant in the Mosses of the United Slates", p. 81 (18j6) 

 and figured in Ic. muse, ^ab. 73. 



M. pendulum affords, therefore, a case of remarkable dis- 

 tribution, being at present known only from Louisiana, in 

 the South of the United Slates, and from China. Amongst 

 Cryptogams, however, similar cases are found ; there are 

 certain species of mosses which arc known only from N. 

 America and Japan ; amongst Fungi there are species of 

 Frusiphacea; with the same distribution, and it is especially 

 interesting to find that one species occurs in China (Yunnan) 

 and Japan, in the South and East of the United States, and 

 -in S. America (see' Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, XXYll, 442 (iOOO).
