The records here presented are supplementary to those given 

 in Evans and Nichols, "The Bryophytes of Connecticut," 1908. A 

 somewhat extended study of the Ephemereae , a subfamily of the 

 Funariaceae, yields 5 species of the genus Ephemerum for Con- 

 necticut. The main distinctive characters of these are here stated. 

 and a key is provided. The species are E. niegalosporum , E cohae- 

 rens, E. crassiuervium , E. papiUoswu and E. spinidosiim. 



Three species of Philonotis may be distinguished from Con- 

 necticut; P. marchica, P. caespitosa, Q.nd P.fovtmia. A key to these 

 is provided. Only P. fontana was listed from the State in 1908. 



Specimens listed as Drepanocladiis adiincus (L.) Warnst, in 1908 

 are all found to belong to the related species D. subaduncus Warnst. 

 True D. aduncus is thus far unknown from Connecticut.
