XXIV. Some Commons of the general Defection of Polytrlchum 

 rubellum, p. 79, -with an Account of Another new Species of the fame 

 Genus, By Mr. Archibald MenzM, F. L. S. 



ead March 6, 1798* 



TN the general defcription of Potytrichum rubel!um y at page 79, 

 line 8 from the bottom, for <€ an inch to two inches," read 



" half an inch to about an inch." At page 80, line 1, for «« from 

 an inch to an inch and half," read " about an inch •' , and in 

 line 6, for " long and fubulate," read " flat, but in the centre 

 flightly pointed." 



Thefe miftakes happened in confequence of my having con* 

 fidered the following from New Zceland, on a flight comparison to 

 be the fame : but in examining more perfect fpecimens, fince the 

 paper on the genus Polyirichum went to the prefs, I have been in- 

 duced to make it a diftinel: fpecies, which ought to have come in 

 between P. rubellum and P. dentatum ; but which I now beg leave 

 to add : 



14 — 15. Poly trichum fuoulafum, fol. lanceolatis carinatis cartila- 

 gineo-ferratis dorfo denticulatis, capfulis cylindricis erectiuf- 

 culis, operculo fubulato. Tab. 6. Fig, 5.
