Evans, A. W., Notes on New England Hepaticae. VI. (Rho- 

 dora. X. p. 185 — 193. October, 1908; issued November 9, 1908.) 



The present contribution includes records of Hepaticae new to 

 the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Connecticut, as 

 well as notes upon the synonymy of six other additional New 

 England species. Two new "combinations" appear: Marsupella 

 robusta (De Not.) Evans (Sarcoscyphus Ehrharti var. robustus De 

 Not.), and Cephalosiella Sullivantii (Aust.) Evans {Jungermannia Sul- 

 livantii Aust.). 147 species of Hepaticae are how recorded from the 

 six New England states. Maxon. 



Frye, Th. C, Peculiarity in Neckera Mensiesii. (The Bryol. XII. 

 p. 52—53. plate 6. May, 1909.) 



Illustrated notes upon the production of "stoloniform branches" 

 in Neckera Mensiesii in the State of Washington. "It is surmised 

 that the branches serve as a means of vegetative propagation, since 

 they are easily shaken off in broken pieces, and were found in a 

 very fine habitat for this species. ...... The great difference between 



the normal and the abnormal branches suggests at once a different 

 function for the latter." Maxon.
