Amérique du Nord: « north Minnesota, near interna- 
tional boundary ». (Prof. Conway Mac-Millan, 1895). Je 
dois la communication de cette espèce à mon excellent ami 
M. le prof. J. M. Holzinger ; elle était en mélange avec 
F. dichelymoides Lindb. 
Malgré ses feuilles un peu fermes et légèrement concaves, 
cette Fontinale, dont je n’ai pu examiner que quelques 
brins, me parait appartenir à la sect des Malacopyllæ et 
devoir prendre place dans le voisinage du F. Lescurii 
Sulliv., dont elle se distingue par ses feuilles plus fermes : 
et un peu concaves, plus étroites et plus longuement 
_ rétrécies, son tissu foliaire formé de cellules plus étroites 
__et plus allongées, et ses cellules alaires moins apparentes. 
Toutes les feuilles, sur mon échantillon, sont recouvertes 
d’une couche de Cocconéidées.

Criticisms of ‘ New or less known species of 
.acrocarpous mosses from North America and 
_ Europe” by N. C. KiNpBERG(Rev. Bryol. 23: 1-23.1896). 
N. C. Kindberg as done so much careless work on North 
American mosses and his descriptions are so faulty, that 
in many Cases no notice has been taken of his mistakes, 
simply because we all knew that he was wrong. But, in 
the Revue Bryologique, recently, he ignores so many 
well-known facts that we feel it our duty to call the atten- 
tion of European bryologists to several mistakes in this 
_ article. No doubt there are others, which have not come to 
our attention. 
= N°3. Drummondia canadensis, authentic specimens of 
which we have received from Prof. Macoun is the same as 
D. prorepens (Hedw.), (D. clavellata, Hook.), which 
_ varies in having the leaves either bluntor acute, and the 
margins more or less incurved as shown in Sullivant’s 
Icones. Je | 
N°8. Grimmia procera, Kindb. is founded on sterile 
specimens, and there is nothing but a comparative descrip- 
tion given. Furthermore, the author has not taken pains 
to find out if it be the same as G. Leibergii, Paris(G. pa- 
… chyphylla, Leiberg) which he seems to suspect, and might 
easily have determined.
