96 Bryophyten. 



Berücksichtigt wird das Gebiet von Mährisch- und Polnisch - 

 Ostrau, Ratimau,Witkowitz, Radwanitz, Ostrawitz und 

 Althammer, also theils in Mähren, theils im österreichischen 

 Schlesien gelegen. — Ref. bestimmte fast alle Moose, von denen einige für 

 die genannten Kronländer neu sind. Die Funde : Hypnum arcticum Sommerf. 

 und Tetradontium Brownianum Schwgr. sind recht fraglich; Ref. konnte 

 sie nicht revidiren. Einige Bemerkungen, z. B. über Hypnum Vaucheri 

 Lesq. sind sonderbar gehalten. Auch die Anmerkung des Verf. über die 

 von ihm vermeintlich zuerst fruchtend in den obigen Ländern gefundenen 

 Moose ist unrichtig. Matouschek (Reichenberg).

An illustration of large Yukon specimens of Splachnum luteum is 

 taken as the basis for a populär account of the peculiar morphology of 

 5. luteum as made out by Vaizey, and of the history of the genus. Follo- 

 wed by notes on the remarkable habitat of the several species and on the 

 geographical distribution of the species in North America.

The subgenus Harpa-Lejeunea as originally limited by Spruce con 

 tained three sections, viz.: Cardiostipa, Cyclostipa and Strepsi-Lejeunea- 

 These were later associated by Schiffner under two generic names : 

 1. Harpalejeunea, comprising the first two; 2. Strepsilejeunea as first de- 

 fined. Cardiostipa is in itself a well-characterized natural group ; but the 

 relationship of the species included under Cyclostipa is still a matter of 

 doubt, even after the removal of the three species L. holostipa, L. mega- 

 lantha and L. erectifolia originally placed in this section by Spruce. 

 Harpalejeunea is restricted by Dr. Evans to the section Cardiostipa ; 

 and 3 species are described and figured, viz. : H. subacuta Evans n. sp. 

 (= L. stricta Steph. 1888, non Linden b. & Gott sc he 1847) H. unci- 

 nata Steph. and H. heterodonta Evans, n. sp. 



L. holostipa Spruce becomes the type and sole species of Cyrtole- 

 jeunea Evans, a new genus perhaps most closely related to Microlejeunea. 

 Under Euosmolejeunea 3 species are listed : E. duriuscula (Nees) Evans. 

 E. Opaca (Gottsche) Steph. and E. trifarii Nees) Schiffn , of which the 

 last is described and figured. Trachylejeunea Aquarius (Spruce) Evans, 

 the only representative of the genus in Puerto Rico is described 

 and figured. William R. Maxon.
