An examination of the type oi Grimmia lamellosa C. Müll. 1854 in- 

 dicates that the later G. subsulcata Limpr. is identical. The species is 

 known in North America from Montana and Idaho. 



Anomodon Toccoae Sull. and Lesq. becomes Herpetineuron Toccoae 

 Cardot, the type of a new genus Herpetineuron (C, JVliill.) Cardot. There 

 is an additional species^ //. Wichurae (Broth.) Cardot, from Japan. 



Louisiana specimens collected by Langlois are described as a 

 new variety (var. ludovicianum Card.) of Thuiüinni glauclnum (Mitt.) 

 Bosch, and Lac, an Asiatic species.

Johnson, Duncan S., The Development and Relationship 

 of Monoclea. (The Botanical Gazette. XXXVIII. p. 185 

 —205. pl. 16, 17. September 1904.) 



The paper concludes with the following summary: 



Monoclea occurs in Jamaica in very damp places, being usually 

 constantly wet with dripping water. 



The male rcceptacle of Alonoclea is only superficially like that of 

 Fegatella, since all the antheridia of a receptacle are formed in acro- 

 petal succession from one growing poinl. It resembles rather that of 

 Cor sin ia and Fimbriaria. 



The antheridium rudlment is elongated, and it divides transversely 

 into six or seven primary cells. The wall cells and spermatogenous cells 

 are separated from each other in the body of the antheridium after the 

 formation of quadrant and octant walls. The mature antheridium is 

 elongated and pointed and is sunken in the receptacle. 



In the nucleus of the spermatozoid the individual chromosomes are 

 recognizablc as distinct twisted fibers. 



The archegonium is very long-necked, has six rows of neck cells 

 and twelve or more neck canal cells. It is probably fertilized before the 

 hood-like involucre has grown far beyond its tip. 



The capsular portion of the sporogonium divides to quadrants and 

 octants before sporogenous cells and wall cells are separated. The foot
