1842. Meylan, Ch. Une nouvelle variete de Scorpidium scorpioides. [A new variety of 

 Scorpidium scorpioides.] Rev. Bryologique 48: 5. 1921. — The new variety bears the name 

 cuspidatum and is based on specimens collected by Rohrer on the island of Reichenau in Lake 

 Constance, Baden. — A. W. Evans. 



1843. PoTiER DE LA Varde, R. Hildenbrandtiella Soulii Broth, et P. de la V. (sp. nov. 

 usambarica). Rev. Bryologique 48: 9-11. 7 fig. 1921. — Under the above name the author 

 describes and figures a new moss collected by J. Soul at Kinvani in the district of Usambara, 

 Tanganyka Territory, Africa. At the close of the paper he lists 7 other mosses from the same 

 region. — A. W. Evans. 



1844. Potieu de la Varde, R. Observations sur quelques especes du genre Fissidens. 

 [Observations on certain species of the genus Fissidens.] Rev. Bryologique 48: 5-9. 3 fig. 

 1921. — The earlier parts of this article have already been abstracted (see Bot. Absts. 5, Entry 

 628; 6, Entry 158; 7, Entry 1975). In the present installment Fissidens Mildeanus Schimp. 

 is discussed, the author's observations being largely based on material which he collected in 

 the department of the Manche, France. This material grew along the banks of brooks in 

 localities which are submerged except in unusually dry seasons; 4 other mosses and 2 hepatics 

 from similar stations are listed. In connection with the Fissidens the propagula are described 

 and figured, the idea being advanced that they are homologous with axillary hairs and rhi- 

 zoids. — A. W. Evans. 



1845. PoTiER DE LA Varde, R. Une correction au nom de Weisia viridula Brid. var. longi- 

 folia Ther. et P. de la V. [A correction of the name Weisia viridula var. longifolia.] Rev. 

 Bryologique 48: 11. 1921. — The Weisia here alluded to was described in an earlier paper by 

 the author on African mosses (see Bot. Absts. 9, Entry 347). A change of name is necessitated 

 on account of an earlier var. longifolia Broth. & Wager, and the new varietal name macro- 

 phylla Th6r. et P. de la V. is proposed. — A. W. Evans. 



1846. Theriot, I. Considerations sur la flore bryologique de la Nouvelle-Caledonie et 

 diagnoses d'especes nouvelles. [Remarks on the bryological flora of New Caledonia and 

 diagnoses of new species.] Rev. Bryologique 48: 11-16. 1921. — The introductory portion of 

 this paper on the mosses of New Caledonia has already been abstracted (see Bot. Absts. 10, 

 Entry 611). In the present installment 12 species are enumerated and discussed, with full 

 data regarding localities. Three new varieties and the following new species are proposed, 

 Theriot being the authority except where otherwise indicated: Barbula Franci, Calymperes 

 Fraud, Dicranoloma confusum, Dicranum duhium Ther. & Dixon, Fissidens humicolus, F. 

 latinervis, and Trichostomum, laticostatum. Four of these new species were based on speci- 

 mens collected by I. Franc. — A, W. Evans.
