Entodon Transylvanicus Demet. Hedwigia, 23: 81. 1884. 
Entodon minutipes Kindb. Can. Rec. Sci. 1894: 21. 1894. 
Not uncommon in North America east of the Mississippi; 
Minnesota (Holzinger), Iowa (A. S. Hitchcock and Miss McGee). 
Limpricht, in. Rab. Krypt. Fl. 4:. part 3: 30, separates Z. 
Schleicheri of Europe from £. cladorrhizans and also cites E. 
cladorrhizans as European. That the two species are distinct 
can hardly be doubted, if the peristomal teeth be compared. 
£. acicularis C. Muell. and Kindb. in Macoun, Cat. Can. Pl. 
part 6, 176, [Macoun’s 816 (in part) and 170,] is only a peculiar 
form of E. cladorrhizans. It may possibly prove to be a good 
variety. It is characterized by having a peculiar brownish 
green color, the tips of branches lighter; very short turgid 
branches which are largest in the middle and at the largest 
part bear leaves as large as the stem leaves; capsule and seta 
much shorter and teeth more perforate than is typical. £. 
Transylvanicus Demeter and E. minutipes Kindb. are said by 
Limpricht, 1. c. to be identical, and only slightly divergent forms 
of £. cladorrhizans. I have been unable to see specimens of 
either,

Cylindrothecium seductrix Sull. in A. Gray, Man. Ed. 2: 664. 
1856, 
A very variable species and appropriately named, found 
only in the eastern United States. Common in the Appalachian 
region from Canada to the Gulf; less frequent northward and not 
reported far west of the Mississippi. I have seen no specimens = 
from northern New England or eastern Canada.
