MUSCI AND НЕРАТІСЖ RECORDED FROM JAPAN. ИТ 
The place of this curious small species must remain uncertain until а more complete 
state is discovered ; it is a little more robust than the P/erogonium perpusillum, De Not., 
and quite different from any of the allied small species in its long hyaline leaf-points.

HYOCOMIUM, Schimp. 
125. Н. CAPILLIFOLIUM, sp. n. Crespitosum. Depressum. Rami breviusculi, inordinatim 
pinnati,conferte ramosi. Folia patentia, sicca immutata, a basi cordato-ovata, sensim 
longissime piliformi-attenuata, enervia, e cellulis angustis areolata, margine tenuissime 
serrulata; perichzetialia conformia, acumine longiore. Тһеса in pedunculo rubro 
inclinata oblonga. 
Small specimen with old fruit, * Challenger’ Exp. 
Rami 2-3 em. longi, ramulis variis 1 em, vix excedentibus. Folia dense inserta, 
plumosa, stramineo-viridia, nitida, sicca striatula. Pedunculus circiter 8 mm. longus. 
Theca satis parva, 1 mm. longa, cinnamomea. 
Very near to Н. hastile (Stereodon hastilis, Mitt. in Journ. Linn. Soc., Bot. viii. 153), 
gathered by Oldham. It has the same irregular ramification and patent foliage; but 
appears to be а more compactly growing Moss, with longer and wider leaves attenuated 
into a hair-like point. Both the Japanese species agree closely with the Indian H. lych- 
nites, Mitt. (Stereodon lychnites, Mitt. in Journ. Linn. Soc., Bot. iii. Suppl. 114), and the 
Australian H. pilosum, having the foliage neither faleate nor secund, as in the European 
Ctenidiwm molluscum, Mitt. in Journ. Linn. Soc., Bot. xii. (1869) 509 in obs. (Hypnum 
molluscum, Hedw.), as known in its common state; but there are other states even of this 
species in which the leaves are all straight, and thus the stems are destitute of the 
distinctive appearance which alone separates it from Hyocomium. 
126. Н. EXALTATUM, sp. n. Caulis procumbens, pinnatus. Folia compressa, lateralia 
divergentia ovata, sensim in acumen sinuato-flexuosum angustata, margine remote 
serrulata, nervis binis medio evanidis, cellulis angustissimis ad angulos paucissimis 
abbreviatis inconspicuis areolata, ramea divergenti-incurva oblongo-ovalia, apice 
excavata, inde in acumen elongatum planum remote serrulatum flexuosum producta, 
margine inferiore anguste implana; perichetialia elongata anguste attenuata, 
integerrima. Тһеса in pedunculo prelongo ovalis horizontalis, operculo depresse 
conico, mamilla crassa. 
Hakone Pass, Bisset. 
Caulis biuncialis, cum ramis semiunciam latus, cum foliis 2 mm. latus. Folia 2 mm. 
longa, compage tenera cellulis perangustis, sicca nitida straminea aureaque. Pedunculus 
3—4 cm. altus.
