Caulis subuncialis, ramis 2-4 mm. longis. Rami cum foliis 1 mm. parum latiores. 
Folia obscure viridia. Pedunculus 1 cm. longus. Тһеса cum operculo fere 2 mm. longa. 
Much less than Amblystegium capillatum, and with short wide leaves.

177. А. ABBREVIATUS, sp. n. Habitus, statura, colorque A. viticulosi. Folia humida 
patentia, sicca appressa, dimidio inferiore ovata, superiore ligulata, apice rotundata 
obtusa, nervo concolore infra apicem desinente, margine integerrima e cellulis 
parvis rotundatis, haud opacis, brevissime papillosis, in folii medio ad nervi basin 
paucis pellucidioribus elongatis areolata; perichzetialia caulinis breviora, apicibus 
angustis. Тһеса ovalis in pedunculo flavo vix eam longitudine superante exserta. 
Joshin, Bisset. 
Rami cum foliis expansis humidis 5 mm. lati, adspectu omnino cum A. viticuloso 
congruentes, 14-3-unciales, curvati. Folia apicibus rotundatis integerrimis. Theca 
levis, castanea, 1 mm. longa. 
The short seta and rather small capsule render the fructification of this species very 
inconspicuous, and although the whole appearance of the stems and foliage is so similar 
to that of A. viticulosus, the leaves are differently shaped at their points, being more 
rounded and not crenulate; it does not so nearly resemble 4. apiculatus. 
178. A. RAMULOSUS, Sp. n. A. viticuloso simillimus, foliis autem magis ligulatis, 
apicibus rotundatis integerrimis, nervo pellucido infra apicem desinente, cellulis 
superioribus fere opacis. 
Nantaizan, Bisset; gathered also by Maingay ; and in China on the city wall, Ningpo, 
by Oldham. All barren. ' | 
In all the specimens the stems are shorter and more branched than is usual in 4. viti- 
culosus, the leaves are more equally wide, the ligulate ends with shorter nerve and a 
.more opaque areolation; the foliage on some stems is subcompressed; but the upper 
portions are much narrower than in A. minor.

. А few small stems, barren, ‘ Challenger’ Exp. 
In this species the nerve is always nearer to one side of the leaf, so that the leaves 
appear unsymmetrical in outline. 
180. А. DEvoLUTUs, Mitt. in Journ. Linn. Soc., Bot. iii. Suppl. 127. 
Some small stems with other Mosses, ‘Challenger’ Exp.; also collected by Bisset.

Fragments, ‘ Challenger’ Exp.; Nantaizan, Bisset. 
These specimens agree with the Indian, and agree also so closely in habit and general 
appearance with A. attenuatus that most probably they are all a state of one species.
