MUSCI AND НЕРАТ!СЖ RECORDED FROM JAPAN, 179 
188. P. вүгултісгм, Bruch et Schimp.— Hypnum sylvaticum, Linn. 
These are both enumerated in Miq. Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. ii. 300. 
ENTODON, C. Muell. 
194. Е. ABBREVIATUS, sp.n. Monoicus. Rami depressi, breves, fasciculatim divisi. Folia 
distiche complanata, lateralia patentia ovalia acuta cymbiformi-concava conduplicata 
integerrima, brevissime binervia, cellulis angustis basalibus ad angulos quadratis 
pellucidioribus areolata; pericheetialia erecta, elongata, lanceolata, sensim attenuata. 
Theca in peduneulo brevi fusco ovali-cylindracea, leptoderma, ore aurantiaco, peristo- 
mio brevi dentibus processibusque angustis aurantiacis, annulo persistente circumdata. 
In depressed tufts with old fruit, * Challenger’ Exp.; gathered also on rotten wood by 
Maingay. 
Rami circiter 2 cm. longi, ramulis 9-4 mm. longis remotis, cum foliis 2 mm. latis. 
. Folia mollia subnitentia viridia. Pedunculus 8 mm. longus. Тһеса 2 mm. longa, tenera ; 
columella brevis. 
A small, compact species, remarkable in the few specimens for its short inconspicuous 
stems and branches, so compressed as to be wider than those of 2. brevisetus, Mitt. 
(Neckera breviseta, Hook. et Wils.), or E. Drummondii, Mitt. (Cylindrothecium Drum- 
топай, Schimp.). eH. 
135. E. ATTENUATUS, sp. n. Monoicus. Rami procumbentes inferne simplices, medio 
ramis paucis, pinnati. Folia compressa, lateralia patentia ovata ovali-ovatave, sub- 
enervia, apice subacuta, integerrima, ramulina ultima angustiora, apice pauciserrulata, 
subintegerrima, cellulis angustis basalibus ad angulos quadratis areolata; perichze- 
tialia erecta elongata, apicibus elongatis subulatis integerrimis. Theca in peduneulo 
rubro cylindracea, operculo rectirostrato tertiam thecæ longitudinis zequante. 
Ikegama, Hakone, and Nikko, Bisset; gathered also by Maries. 
Rami laxe сгезрїїозї 3—4 сш. longi, apicibus interdum stoloniforme attenuatis radican- 
tibusque; ubi latiores cum foliis 2 mm. lati, ramulis 1 em. longis. Folia pallide viridia 
stramineaque subnitentia. Тһеса in pedunculo unciali fusca, 2 mm. longa, recta sub- 
curvatave. 
This species is near to E. Sullivantii, Lindb. (Neckera Sullivantii, C. Muell.) ; but has 
narrower leaves, and in this particular differs from all the described Indian species except 
the 2. pulchellus, Mitt. (Neckera pulchella, Оті) = E. letus, Mitt. (Stereodon letus, 
Mitt. in Journ. Linn. Soc., Bot. iii. Suppl. 107). 
136. E. RAMULOSUS, sp. n. Dioicus. Rami procumbentes inferne substipitati, deinde in 
frondem lanceolatam elongatamve, ramulis approximatis bipinnatam, ramosi. Folia 
compressa, lateralia patenti-incurva ovato-lanceolata caviuscula, tenuissime binervia, 
integerrima, ramulina ultima parva elliptica, apicibus pauciserrulatis recurvulis, 
omnia cellulis elongatis basi, ad angulos paucis quadratis areolata; perichetialia 
erecta elongata, apicibus breviter subulatis. Тһеса in pedunculo rubro cylindracea, 
operculo rectirostrato tertiam thecze longitudinis æquante. 
Ikegama, Nikko, and Hakone, Bisset; with Е. Sullivantii, ‹ Challenger’ Exp. 
Rami sesquiunciales longiusve producti, ramulis plurimis 1 em. longis inferne iterum
