74 SUMMARY OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 



forthcoming, and of its development from a very short lateral branch, 

 which bears a few archegonia at its extremity, and after their fertilisa- 

 tion resumes growth at its base, and by very unequal and lop-sided 

 development gradually is converted into a deep sac imbedded in the 

 ground, the archegonia being now situated at the bottom of the sac 

 and pointing upwards instead of downwards. Further details are 

 'given ; and it is shown that authors are in error about the inflorescence. 

 This he finds to be variable — paroicous, synoicous, or monoicous. He 

 describes some stages in the development of the sporogonium ; and 

 compares the species I with Calypogeia ericetorum and other marsupioid 

 genera, and adds some notes on Cincinnulus argutus.
