is truncate at the top, and is concave from the anterior mar- 
gin being reflexed. There are no stipules, 
This is allied to Gottschea. aligera of Nees from Java, by 
the figure of both lobes of the leaves; but these are less 
. toothed and the stipules are altogether wanting. .

6. J. monodon, n. sp.; caule cespitoso procumbente vage 
subramoso apice incurvo, foliis imbricatis erecto-patentibus 
secundis unico dente apiculatis, calyce terminali ovato 
inflato plicato acuminulato ore denticulato. 
Has. New Zealand. 
Patches lying usually on other Musci or Jungermannie, of 
a dusky, tawny colour. Stems scarcely one inch long, chan- 
nelled on the upper side, sending down rootlets from their 
entire length. The lower leaves much the smallest, all of 
them pointing upwards. Perichetial leaves four, the exte- 
rior bifid, the interior trifid, all of them denticulate. Calyces 
widely ovate, longitudinally plicate. _ 
This has been compared to Jung. contracta of Nees, from 
Java. It may be known to be different by its shorter stems, 
incurved at their summits, and by the more densely imbri- 
cated leaves, which are more obtuse and strikingly uni- 
dentate. 
7. J. inundata, n. sp.; caule implexo prostrato subramoso, 
foliis subimbricatis subpatentibus oblongo-rotundatis con- 
cavis integerrimis margine apicali incurvo, stipulis ovatis 
acutis bidentatis, calyce terminali oblongo apice dentato, 
capsula spheerica. 
Haz. In inundated situations, New Zealand. 
Patches several inches broad, pale dusky green. Stems 
Scarcely one inchlong. Leaves approximated, often homo- 
mallous, slightly decurrent in front, their structure dense. 
Stipules large, broadly ovate, having à shallow notch ed the 
very summit; sometimes this notch is wanting. - Perichaetial 
leaves larger and more patent than the cauline. ; Calyx 
broadly oblong, thick, plicate at the summit, and dividing
