Dicranella cerviculatULA, Kindb. (N. sp.) 
Agrees with D. cerviculat a\x\ its dioecious inflorescence, the stru- 
mose capsule and the yellow pedicel ; differs in the leaves being 
gradually acuminate, the cells short quadrate, only the inner at the 
base rectangular, the costa narrow, well-defined, and not filling the 
acumen, only in the perichetial leaves distinctly excurrent. The tufts 
are very dense and compact, dark green, the leaves not spreading, the 
pedicel is short about 7-8 mm., the stem 5 mm. 
On Digge's Island, Hudson Strait, August, 1884. (R. Bell.) 
Leptotrichum (Ditrichum) Tomentosum, Kindb. (N. sp.) 
Tufts very compact and tomentose, 2-3 cm. high, the tips yellow- 
ish green, faintly glossy. Leaves small, entire, from the ovate-oblong 
base attenuate to the involute or canaliculate, scarcely longer or often 
shorter acumen, appressed in a dry state ; costa occupying the half of 
the leaf-base, and the whole acumen ; alar cells not distinct, the lower 
ones subrectangular, the upper shorter, suboval. Barren. 
Probably allied to Leptotrichum homomalhtm or Lepto. zonatum 
Lev. The leaves are broader than in L. homomallutn, and not so long- 
acuminate. It has also the habit of Campylopus, and some forms of 
Dicranella heteromalla.

Mnium glabrescens, Kindb. (N. sp )

leaves green, not nigrescent, faintly reflexed at the borders in a dry 
state, the upper leaves narrower, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, the cells 
smaller, more rotundate, the costa red only in the middle, (as in M. 
stellate) pale at the borders, the inner perichetial leaves ovate-oblong 
subobtusc, the pedicel sometimes 5-6 cm. long.
