pendant toute la duree de la fermentation, puis soutire ä Tabri de l'air 

 et en presence de CO-. Si la fermentation s'est effectuee ä haute tem- 

 perature (35") le cidre est depourvu d'acide carbonique qu'on lui rend en 

 le saturant de ce gaz sous pression apres le soutirage. 



Dans ces conditions les cidres doux se conservent en futs, en 

 bouteilles sans qu'il y ait multiplication ulterieure de Levure ni fermen- 

 tation consecutive. Paul Vuillemin.

A tabulated record of the rate of growth, during a growing-period of five 

 months, of R. reticiilata which is probably the largest of the North 

 American lichens. The average increase in length was forty-one

Rhystophylliim Ehrb. 1780, founded upon Hypnum crispiim L., must 

 displace Eleutera Beauv. 1805, as a Substitute for Neckeria Hedw. 1782 

 (invalidated by jV^cÄrmö Scop. 1777). Seven North American spe-

 disticimm (Sw.), R. Jamaicensis (Gmel.). Maxon.

Scapaiiia calcicola Arn. et Pers. und Sc. obliqua Arn., vom Verf. 

 für Frankreich nachgewiesen, werden kritisch besprochen und mit 

 verwandten Arten und verschiedenen Formen derselben verglichen. 

 Verf. kommt zu dem Schlüsse, dass er Scapania calcicola als eine gute, 

 5. obliqua aber als eirie schwache Art ansehen müsse, indem er bezüg- 

 lich der letzteren Species dieselbe nur auf grössere Dimension der Blatt- 

 zellen gegründet sei. Geheeb (Freiburg i. Br.).
