A description of the new genus and species, Dactyloporus 
archeus, from the carboniferous formation in Tuscarawas county, 
Ohio. It is stated to be generically allied to Polyporus as to its 
sporiferous tubes, and again to Agaricus by its pileus and trunk. ~

(Rev. Bryol. xx. 92, 1893). 
Four North American species are briefly described, of which 
two bear new names. Georgia cuspidata is said to be different 
from G. pellucida in the curved capsules and excurrent vein of the 
pericheetial leaves. The specimens were collected in Canada by 
Macoun, and near Columbus, Ohio, by Schrader. We have seen 
Prof. Macoun’s specimens and do not think them worthy of spe- — 
cific rank as the capsules are often curved and the pedicels very 
variable in length in G. pellucida; on the same plant the vein a 
may disappear below the apex in the lower bracts, and be excur- ae 
rent in the upper. 
G. trachypoda is said to differ from G. geniculata in the seta 
Be being rough above, not below and not geniculate. It will be re-_
