HEPATICAE OF ST. CROIX, ST. JAN, ST. THOMAS AND 



TORTOLA 5 



In the Synopsis Hepaticarum of Gottsche, Lindenberg and Nees 

 von Esenbeck, published in 1844-47, three species of Hepaticae are 

 listed from St. Croix, one from St. Jan, and one from St. Thomas. 

 Another species, although listed from St. Kitts, was based in all prob- 

 ability on material from St. Jan. A seventh species has been listed 

 from St. Jan by Stephani. These seven species, which are the only 

 ones so far reported from the islands under discussion, deserve a few 

 words of comment.
