Note on Mnium punctatum var. elatum. — In the Report of the last 

 meethig of the Cryptogamic Society of Scotland it is stated that a specimen 

 oi '■'■ Mnitim punctatum var. elat2im,'' z. new British form, recently found by 

 Messrs Rogers and Percival, was exhibited to the members of the Society 

 met at Dunkeld. I have not seen the actual specimen referred to, and con- 

 sequently cannot, from personal examination of it, affirm that it is not what 

 it has been supposed to be, but I very strongly suspect it is not. The grounds 

 of my suspicion are as follows : In September last I received, through the 

 kindness of Mr Whitehead of Dukinfield, a well-known north of England 

 bryologist, a specimen named Mnmm ptcnctatuvi var. elatum^ gathered in 

 June, by Messrs Rogers and Percival, near Southport. This I suppose to 

 be part of the same gathering to which the specimen exhibited at Dunkeld 

 belongs, but on examination I found it to be quite different from Mnium 

 punctatum var. elatum in the general appearance, the form of the leaf, the 

 structure of the areolation, the character of the border, and the occasional 

 presence of rudimentary or well-developed teeth. The specimen in my pos- 

 sion certainly belongs to M. affine, and it is more than probable that those 

 exhibited at Dunkeld are identical. It may also be well to state that Mnium 

 punctatum var. elatum, which has a wide geographical distribution in Europe 

 and America, has been known for a number of years as a British plant, and 

 was gathered in Scotland by the late Mr Hunt. — J. Fergusson, The Manse, 

 Fern, Dec. 1877. 



[Mr Fergusson is quite right in supposing that the specimen 

 exhibited at the Cryptogamic Society's meeting is part of the 

 same gathering as was sent to him. I have examined the 

 specimen, and find that it exhibits the characters he mentions,
