Hypnum orbicularicordatum Ren. & Card. sp. nov. is described as 
differing from Hcordifolium. No. 216, Barbula fragilis, was sent 
to them by Mr. J. M. Holzinger, named B. sortuosa var. dicra- 
noides. The mistake is credited to me. The factsarethese: Mr. 
Holzinger sent me some specimens of this moss named by him 
“ Timmia winonensis n. sp. ined.” I suggested that it was very 
close to Barbula tortuosa, but did not agree exactly with speci- 
mens of my own collecting in the Adirondacks, of which I sent 
him a duplicate, suggesting that it might be the var. dicranoides 
(Ferg.) described by Braithwaite. I did not compare them, nor 
did I send them to M. Cardot; therefore Mr. Holzinger must be 
held responsible for any mistakes in the matter. | ih, Oe»

1895. 
Thirty-two species are described, of which all but six are North 
American, and twenty-two will be found listed in Kindberg’s 
check-list, the other four having been discovered since that list 
was published. Several varieties are raised to specific rank. The 
descriptions are brief and mostly comparative. The following is 
the list of species described: Anztitrichia gigantea, Clasmatodon 
rupestris, Thamnium micro-alopecurum, Pleuroziopsis alaskana, Tsothe- 
cium brachycladon, I. Howet, 1. obtusatulum, Leskea Cardoti, Ambly- 
stegium pseudo-confervoides, Eurhynchium pseudo-velutinoides, £ 
acutifolium, E. subcespitosum, E. Macounu, Hypnum molluscoides, H. 
pseudo-complexum, Camptothecium aureolum, C.leucodontoides, Brachy- 
thectum cavernosum, B. calcareum, B. subintricatum, Hypnum 
subsecundum, F1. microreptile, H1. reptiliforme, H. filiforme, H. sub- 
complexum and Fontinalis gigantea. Many of these are founded 
on very slight differences, as the names imply. E. G. B.

Twenty-six species are described, all but three of which are 
based on American specimens sent to him by Prof. Macoun. All. 
but one are said to be new species or have new names, the worst 
illustration of this being Orthotrichum lyellioides Kindb. n. sp., which, 
is founded, as far as we can determine, on O. papillosum Hpe., thus
