 A polar moss, known only from some localities of North Finland and 

 from Siberia. It is easily distinguished from 1). lionjeani DeNot (/>. 

 pa lust re B. & S.) by the leaves straight, not undulate, convolute, and entire, 

 the thinner costa, the less porose cells, and the perichaetial leaves long pil- 

 iferous. 



Note — The Editors tried an experiment in Plate IX which has proved 

 unsiiccessful. 



CoKUF.CTiONs. In "making up" the pages of the July Bry(iu)(;ist two 

 serious errors were made in Mrs. Harris article: page 42, eleventh line from 

 the bottom., erase all after the parenthesis; page 43, the long lines between 

 the two cuts, are descriptive of Cetraria Oakesiana and should follow the 

 preceding description of that species: page 48, in the fourth line of the de- 

 scription of Brachythcciinu collinKin Ho/ziiii^eri, insert a semicolon between 

 " serrate'" and " primordial."
