ing is a list of the names to which he objects: Sekra, Dorcadion, 
Astrophyllus, Sphaerocephalus, Webera, Lamprophyllum, Schistophyt- 
lum, Weissia, Georgia, Leersta, Mollia, Trichostomum, Stableria, Dia- 
phanophyllum and Cyclodictyon. He vents his spleen on Otto 
Kuntze for changing the application of Hookeria and reaches a 
climax of indignation by stating that 24 Arodiaeas transferred to 
Ffookeria gave him that number of “nobis,” 59 Hookerias trans- 
ferred to Cyclodictyon added as many more, a small matter, how- 
ever, after “ 306 OK.,” which Dr. Kuntze seized by transferring 
Selaginella to Lycopodioides. “Ve nobissime chronique degenere 
ici en nobisite aigue.” 
He makes his argument much more impressive by omitting 
the parenthetical citations, and attributing all changes to a desire 
for personal notoriety, rather than adherence to a fixed principle. 
He then proceeds to discuss changes in specific names, including 
the following: Bartramia Norvegica, Breutelia chrysocoma, Bryum 
cernuum, Buxbaumia viridis, Camptothecium trichoides, Campylopus 
subulatus, Cryphaea arborea, Dicranella secunda, D. vaginalis, Di- 
cranum schistt, Didymodon denudatus, Entodon palatinus, Grimmtia 
ovalis, G. campestris, Hylocomium proliferum and H. palatinum, Hyp- 
num elodes, Isothecium viviparum, Lesquereuxia filamentosa, Mnium 
serpyllifolium,Neckera fontinaloides,Oligotrichum incurvum, Phascum 
acaulon, Pterogonium ornithopodioides, Rhacomitrium aguaticum, R. 
hypnoides, Salaenia caesia, Seligeria setacea, Splachnum peduncula- 
tum, Swartzia montana, Tetraplodon bryoides, Tortula mutica, Bar- 
bula acuta and Weisia Americana. Judging from the remarks on_ 
page 303, which he attributes to “ Mrs. Elis J. Britton,” it is evi- 
dent that M. Le Jolis has not followed up my subsequent notes 
on the question of Orthotrichum Americanum Beauv. and U. 
Americana Mitt. If he will consult the BuLLETIN (21: 66-68, © 
1894), he will learn that I have since seen the types of both species, 
and have come to agree with Lindberg in believing that the name 
O. Americanum Beauv. antedated U. Hutchinsiae Smith by eight © 
years, and that they are unquestionably the same species, 
He finally considers the names of genera which exist in Bry- 
ology, but which should not be used, because they have beenem- 
ployed in other families. Cvelediwsm, Reicht., 1855, should be re- Soe 
placed by that of Vogel, 1839, for a genus of the Leguminosae. —
