152. Corbiere, L. Deux mousses africaines egalement francaises. [Two African mosses 

 occurring likewise in France.] Rev. Bryologique 41: 99. 1911. [Issued in 1920.] — This ia 

 the conclusion of a paper already abstracted in part. (See Bot. Absts 5, Entry 619.) The 

 discovery of Fissidens Moureti Corb. in the department of Var in southern France is an- 

 nounced. This species was discovered by Mouret in Morocco and has since been reported 

 from both Madeira and Spain. It is interesting to note that Mouret was also the collector 

 of the French specimens. As a probable ally of F. Moureti, the author mentions F. Warn- 

 storjii Fleisch., a species based on specimens from the vicinity of Naples but since recorded 

 from Portugal. [See also Bot. Absts. 6, Entry 158.] — A. W. Evans. 



153. Familler, I. Bemerkungen uber bayerische Moose. [Notes on Bavarian mosses.] 

 Krypt. Forsch. Bayerische Bot. Ges. 3: 166-167. 1 fig. 1918. — The author notes the occur- 

 rence, in the vicinity of Regensburg, of Orthotrichum diaphanum, forma aqualicum (Davies) 

 Venturi, a moss new to German}-. The variable leaf-apices of this form are figured and com- 

 mented upon, and three other mosses accompanying the Orthotrichum are listed. The paper 

 gives also new Bavarian stations for Tortula obtusifolia Schleich. and Plagiothecium Ruthei 

 Limpr. and corrects two previously published records, one for a moss and the other for a 

 liverwort. — A. W. Evans.

155. Holzinger, John M. Bartramiopsis Lescurii. Bryologist 23 : 35-36. 1920. — Kind- 

 berg, in founding the genus Bartramiopsis for Atrichum Lescurii James, misquoted James 

 and apparently made the description from other than typical material. The genus should 

 be maintained, but the authority for the combination given above is Cardot & Theriot. B. 

 sitkana Kindb. is only a synonym. — E. B. Chamberlain. 



156. Luisier, A. Les mousses de Madere. [Mosses of Madeira.] Broteria, Ser. Bot. 

 18: 5-22. 1920. — This is the seventh of a series of articles containing a complete discussion 

 of the moss flora of Madeira, and includes the genera Thamnium to Plagiothecium (in part). 

 No new forms are described, but extended discussion and critical notes are given upon Tham- 

 nium canariense R. & C., Lepidopilum fontanum Mitt., L. virens Card., Amblystegiummadeir- 

 ense Mitt., Campylium serratum Card. & Wint., Gollania Berthelotiana (Mont.) Broth., and 

 Stereodon canariensis Mitt. In most of these cases there are copious quotations from original 

 or out-of-the-way sources. [See Bot. Absts. 1, Entry 757; 3, Entries 2477 and 2478; and 5, 

 Entry 625.]— E. B. Chamberlain.

 2. 1914. [Issued in 1920.] — The first part of this paper has already been abstracted. (See 

 Bot. Absts. 5, Entry 628.) In this second and concluding part, the discussion of F. tama- 

 rindifolius is continued, certain specimens from Brittany being especially considered. These 

 are referred to F. impar, as var. Camusi var. nov., and several distinct forms of this variety 

 are described and figured. According to the author's summary F. tamarindifolius , as under- 

 stood by writers, is not a definite species but includes forms and varieties of F. incurvus 

 Starke, F. inconstans Schimp. and F. impar Mitt. At the close of the paper the status of F. 

 gracilis (La Pyl). Brid. is discussed, and the conclusion is reached that it represents a slender 

 and delicate variety of F. incurvus. It was discovered in 1814 by La Pylie at Fougeres, 

 France, and has not been collected since. [See also Bot. Absts. 6, Entry 152.] — A. W. Evans.
