ultimate ramuli, which are very short, are constantly oppo- 
site, and issue at an angle of 75o or 80°. Besides the present 
species, the European E. tomentosus and E. siliculosus are 
found at Cape Horn.

On Six Species of JuNGERMANNLE, new to Britain, by 
Tuomas Taytor, M.D. 
Of the numerous discoveries of the late Mr. Thomas 
Drummond, the addition of the following six species of 
Jungermanniæ to’ the British list is a singular proof of the 
acuteness and sagacity with which he investigated nature. 
The species were all observed in the Highlands of Scotland; 
and when we consider that such are the classical localities to 
which continental as well: as British botanists have directed 
their attention, from the times of Dickson and of Don to the 
present hour, we must be surprised to find that no other 
individual has noticed the species alluded to, found more than 
ten years by Mr. Drummond. They occur among other 
cryptogamic discoveries of the same individual in the exten- 
sive and most valuable collection of Sir William Hooker.

Whatever difficulty there may be in clearly distinguishing 
Scapania nemorosa, Nees. from Scapania undulata, Ness: 
which it must be confessed, the characters given in the 
Synopsis Hepaticarum have scarcely removed, the present 15 
sufficiently distinct from either, by the constantly sp 
leaves and by the far less ratio of their smaller to their greater 
lobes, as well as by its more aquatic habitat.
