454 ON THE NEW SPECIES OP MUSCI. 



Dr. Montagne. The specimens described by Schwaegrichen 

 from St. Domingo are without fruit, (vid. Suppl. I. 2, 

 p. 283). 



Daltonia ovalis, (See p. 66, and Tab. XVI. K.)— The peris- 

 tome of this and of D. splachnoides is sufficiently like that of 

 Hookeria to admit of their being placed in the same genus, 

 and a connecting link is furnished by Hookeria nervosa, 

 (Hook. fil. et Wils.) — The calyptra is not a peculiar character, 

 being found in several undoubted Hookeria, e. g. H. para- 

 doxa (Mont.), H. Dicksoni (Hook.), H. flaccida (Hook. fil. et 

 Wils.), and H. Magellanica (P. Beauv.) 



Fissidens pygmeeus, not the Moss of Hornsch. in Linneea, 

 vol. 15, p. 147 (1841), but nearly allied. — F. pygmeeus, 

 (Hornsch.), is a smaller species, with an erect capsule. In 

 Dr. Taylor's Moss it is inclined, the leaves not obviously ob- 

 tuse, inflorescence monoicous.
