by Dr. Doring, which are correctly named. The other two speci- 
mens are labelled « B, drevipes Sch.” One is from Florida, “Ex. © 
herb. C. Miiller, 1865 ;”’ they are not B. drvevipes, but seem refer- 
able to B. curviseta L. & J., and are probably the specimens de- 
scribed as var. minor by Miiller, as the localities are the same. 
The other specimen, labelled “ &. drevipes Sch.,” has been corrected 
in Jeger’s handwriting to «8B. flexuosa C. M. var. minor,’ and 
these specimens are ZB. brevifolia Sull. They were collected in 
South Carolina and sent to Jeger by Schimper from the herba- 
rium of Dr. Swartz, 1862. 
It will be seen from the original description and this mixture 
of specimens that we do not yet know what the var. mvor is, and 
Dr. Miiller is the only one who can tell us. According to the 
Jeger Herbarium it may antedate either B. curviseta L. & J. or B. 
brevifolia Sull., though we are more inclined to think it is the 
former, According to Jzger’s Musci Cleistocarpi, it has priority 
of 20 years over B. Drummondii Hpe., which replaces 2. brevipes 
Hook. & Wilson. The original description is absolutely useless 
in trying to place the specimens, but under the description of 2. 
Jlexuosa he cites Drummond's No. 15, which was distributed as 2. 
Vogesiaca var. This specimen in our set contains three species, 
8. Drummondii Hpe., &. drevifolia Sull. and B&B. curviseta L. & J.

The following is the original description which, as will be 
Shown later, must be credited tc Jeger solely, as Wilson is cited 
with a query, and the specimens and notes in his herbarium, indi- 
cate that Jeger was mistaken in crediting this species to him.
