Da diese aus dem Südpolarkreis mitgebrachten Moose aus 

 einer Region stammen, welche bereits 1898 von der belgischen Expe- 

 dition besucht worden war, so ist es nicht überraschend, wenn unter 

 den 13 Moosen Charcots Verf. nur eine neue Spezies und 

 drei noch nicht bekannte Varietäten antraf, nämlich: 



Brachythecium Tiirqiieti Card. sp. nov. Insel Wandel. — Dem 

 B. antarcticiim var. cavifolliim nächst verwandt. 



U/ebera Raiovitzae Card. var. laxirete. Insel Wiencke. 



Bryuni inconnexiim Card. var. tomentosiim. — Insel Wandel. 



Hypiium austro-stramineum C. Müll. var. minus. — Insel 

 Wiencke. 



Alle diese Moose sind nur in sterilem Zustande aufgenommen 

 worden. Geheeb (Freiburg i. Br.).

 Torrey Botanical Club. March [April 7], 1906. p. 129—135. 

 plate 6.) 



The present paper is based upon 6 recent collections (1900 

 — 1905) aggregating 23 species beionging to the March aniiaceae (4), 

 Met2geriaceae{A) and Junge rmanniaceae (15). Of the last there is one 

 new species : Crossotolejeunea Bermudiana which is fully described 

 and figured. 



The relationship of the hepatic flora is discussed as follows: 

 „The flora on the whole is most closely related to that found in the 

 eastern part of North America, 13 species being common to 

 Connecticut and the same number to F 1 o r i d a. At the same time 

 it will be noted that 12 of the species occur in the British Isles 

 and that about as many have been reported from the West In d i e s. 

 If, however, species are excluded which are almost cosmopolitan, it 

 will be found that the others are nearly all distinctly southern or 

 even tropical in their distribution. The subtropical character of the 

 flora is also illustrated by the relative large number of the Jubn- 

 leae." 



Reference is made to all previous literature on the hepaticae of

Note on the shape of the capsules of Pogonatnm hrachyphyüum 

 Michx. as compared with those of P. brevicaule. 



Specimens recently received from Georgia indicate that Tetra- 

 plodon australis Süll, and Lesq. is an exceedingly variable species, 

 somewhat intermediate between Tetraplodon and Toyloria, and 

 perhaps upon later study to be referred to the latter genus. 



Anacamptodon splaclmoides T[alyloriae is a new name here 

 given to plants collected by Mrs. A. P. Taylor, in Georgia, which 

 show certain average differences from typical A. splaclmoides, 

 verging, it is suggested, toward the Cuban A. cubensis Süll. 



A continued study of Brachythecium noveboracense Grout shows 

 that it is a derivative of B. rivulare and is common in Long 

 Island (New York) swamps. Corrective notes are given with 

 reference to the original figures.
