species here described by the author, and E. angustifolium (Jur.) Glow, 

 The last three occur in the Adriatic region. The author provides a 

 key to the species. H. Sabransky * records Gatharinea HaussTcnechtii 

 from Styria, richly fruiting, and describes in detail how it differs from 

 C. undulata, with which, and with C. angustata, it was found growing. 



European HepaticaB.f — K. Midler publishes the eighth part of his 

 Die Lebermoose in Rabenhorst's ;Kryptogamen-flora. He continues his 

 account of the Epigonianthea?, finishing the genus Marsupella (15

 Gongylanthus (1), and Al&ularia (unfinished). 



North American Bryophytes.J — E. G. Britton publishes her 

 eleventh chapter of notes on nomenclature, taking for her subject the 

 concluding parts of Brotherus' classification of the mosses in Eugler 

 and Prantl's Pflanzenfamilien, and discussing the position allotted to 

 several American species. She changes the new generic name WiUiamsia 

 into Williamsiella, the former name having been coined a few months 

 previously for a phanerogamous plant. A. S. Foster § gives a list 

 of twenty-five bryophytes and thirteen lichens from Mount Hood, 

 Oregon. C. C. Haynes || gives an enumeration of the Washington and 

 Oregon hepaticas collected by A. S. Foster in 1904—0, sixty -three species

 noteworthy hepatica? from the State of Washington, nine in number, 

 including a new species, a new variety, four species new to North 

 America, and three new to the United States. Critical notes are 

 appended. The author remarks that the State, though favourable for 

 a rich hepatic vegetation, has been much neglected, but that he 

 has identified 101 hepatics from the State in various collections. 

 N. C. Kindberg ** describes three new mosses from British Columbia, 

 collected by A. Brinkman, and six from Colorado, collected by 

 N. L. T. Nelson.
