[315] THE MOSSES OF ALASKA 275 



Philonotis fontana caespitosa Sch. Syn., ed. 2, p. 520. 

 Yakutat Bay (Trelease, 1819). 



Philonotis capillaris Lindb. in Hcdwigia, 1867, p. 40. 



From Kodiak (Trelease, 1841). New to Alaska. 



This sterile specimen has, it is true, the aspect, size and areolation 

 of the European P. capillaris, but it differs from it by the leaves 

 revolute on the borders from the base for two-thirds of their length. 

 However, it seems impossible to ascribe it to another species. 

 Moreover, according to Mr. Dixon (Handbook, p. 297), P. capillaris 

 may have the leaves more or less revolute ; this character would then 

 be only more marked on the plant from Kodiak. 



Kindberg has indicated from Alaska P. vancouveriensis Kindb. and P. scriata

 Meesea uliginosa Hedw., Descr., i, p. i, pi. i, 2. 



From Port Wells (Trelease, 2284, 2287) ; Popof Island (Saunders, 

 without number) ; St. Matthew Island (Trelease, 1857, 2142).

(PI. xxm, fig. 3-.) 



From St. Matthew Island (Trelease, 1893 in part). New to Alaska. 



This specimen agrees exactly with a scrap of the type kindly com- 

 municated by the Royal botanical museum of Berlin, but in the lat- 

 ter the leaves are more crowded, giving to the plant a still more 

 robust aspect. Af. tschutschica differs from J/. triqiietra Angstr. by 

 its larger size and broader leaf-cells.
