 Gymnostomum linearifolium, Tayl. in Hook. Lond. Journ. Lot., 18i6, p. 42. 



Juan Fernandez. Moseley. 



Orio-inally described from Chili, this rnoss has been gathered iu the Andes of Quito 

 by Jameson and Spruce, in the Bogotian Andes by Weir ; in Africa it is found in the 

 mountains of Abyssinia; iu the Atlantic Islands it is the Zygodon curvipes, C. Mtill., 

 ■who describes it as dioecious, but numerous Madeiran specimens are all monoecious. 

 Schimper named it " A mphoridium canariense." It is found also at the Cape of Good Hope, 

 in Tasmania and Australia, and has thus a wider distribution in the southern hemisphere 

 than Oncophorus lapponicus, the corresponding species of the northern regions. These 

 mosses, together with the Oncophorus mougeotii and Oncophorus californicus, Hampe, of 

 which Amphoridium ccespitosum, Mitt. (Journ. Linu. Soc. Lond., viii.), is probably a 

 synonym, have been considered to be related to Zygodon, but their closest analogy is with 

 the RhabdoweisicB, from which they simply differ in being nearly or quite destitute of 

 a peristome. 



Oncophorus (Rbabdoweisia) striatus, Mitt. 



Oncophorus striatus, Lindb. ; Braithw., Brit. Moss Fl., p. 172, t. 26. 

 Ciiinmia striata, Schrad., But. Journ., ii. p. 55. 



Juan Fernandez. Moseley. 



Intermixed with Mielichhqferia. It is probably cosmopolitan. 



Dicranum billardieri, Schwiigr. 



Dieranum billardieri, Sclnviigr., SuppL, ii. p. 70, t. 121 ; C. Mull., Synopsis Muse. Frond., i. p. 368. 

 Dicranum truncorum, Scliirnp. ; C. Mull, in Bot. Zeit., 1859, p. 215. 



Juan Fernandez. — Without fruit — Moseley; in abundance iu the same condition — 

 Mr W. Saunders' collector. 



It is present in most collections made in Chili and in Fuegia.
