282 MORPHOLOGY AND TAXONOMY, BRYOPHYTES [BoT. Absts., Vol. VII, 



Orientales, France, is announced. Full notes regarding distribution are given under each 

 species, and some doubt is thrown on the validity of the Frullania, owing to the constant 

 absence of perianths.^^. W. Evans. 



1971. Dixon, H. N. Description of the mosses. In: Trechmann, C. T. On a deposit of 

 interglacial loess, and some transported preglacial freshwater clays on the Durham coast. 

 Quart. Jour. Geol. Soc. London 75: 200. 1920.— See Bot. Absts. 6, Entry 797. 



1972. Dixon, H. N. Reports upon two collections of mosses from British East Africa. 

 Smithsonian Misc. Collections 72^: 1-20. PL 1-2. 1920.— Under this title two papers are 

 included. The first gives a list of 49 mosses collected by the Dummer-Maclennan Expedi- 

 tion to Mount Elgon. Descriptive and critical notes are interspersed throughout, and the 

 following new species are described: Anomobryum robustum, Brachymenium stenothecum, 

 Brachythecium Diimmeri, B. ugandae, Bryum brevinerve, Dicranoweisia africana, Holomit- 

 rium Maclennani, Neckera s^ibmacrocarpa and Raphidostegium elgonense. In addition Braunia 

 brachytheca is proposed as a new subspecies of B. secunda (Hook.) B. S. G. The second 

 paper is based on a collection of 8 species made by A. Y. Allan in the Aberdare Mountains, 

 near Mount Kenia. The only new species listed is Kleioweisiopsis denticulata, which repre- 

 sents the type of a new genus, placed somewhat doubtfully in the Pottiaceae. With a single 

 exception all the new species described are illustrated by habit drawings or by magnified 

 drawings of some of the parts. — 'S. F. Blake. 



1973. Dixon, H. N., and W. W. Watts. Mosses. Australasian Antarctic Exped. Sci. 

 Rept. Series C. 7': 1-9. 1918.— The collection reported upon was made by C. T. Harrison 

 and S. E. Jones on "Queen Mary's Land, which is situated on the Antarctic Circle between 

 90° and 100° E. longitude." The following 5 species are listed: Ceratodon purpureus (L.) 

 Brid., Sarconeurum glaciale (H. f. W.) Card. & Bryhn, Grimmia fasiigiata Card., G. stoloni- 

 fera C. M., and Bryum antarcticum H. f. W. Under the Bryum 5 antarctic species, most of 

 which were proposed by Cardot, are cited as possible synonyms.— A. W. Evans. 



1974. HusNOT, T. Deux hepatiques nouvelles. [Two new hepatics.] Rev. Bryologique 

 47: 26-27. 19 fig. 1920.— Two new French species of Hepaticae, collected by the author, are 

 described and figured, the first being Cephaloziella subglobosa from the department of Cal- 

 vados and the second Lophozia Corbieri from the department of Orne.—A. W. Evans. 



1975. Potier de la Varde, R. Observations sur quelques especes du genre Fissidens. 

 [Observations on certain species of the genus Fissidens.] Rev. Bryologique 47: 17-18. 1920. 

 —This paper is the continuation of a series the earlier parts of which have already been ab- 

 stracted. (See Bot. Absts. 5, Entry 628; 6, Entry 158.) In the present part the relationships 

 of the British Fissidens Lylei Wils. are discussed, and the conclusion is reached that it is 

 more closely allied to F. exilis Hedw. than to F. exiguus Sulliv. Whether it represents a dis- 

 tinct species or a form of F. exilis is left undecided. — A. W. Evans. 



1976. PoTiER DE LA Varde, R. Stereophyllum Bremondii Ther. et P. de la V. (Espece 

 nouvelle du Cambodge). [Stereophyllum Bremondii (a new species from Cambodia).] Rev. 

 Bryologique 47: 19-20. 2 fig. 1920.— Under the above name a new species from Cambodia 

 in French Indo-China, collected by De Bremond d'Ars, is described. It is related to S. 

 Blatteri Card., from the vicinity of Bombay, and anatomical details of both species are fig- 

 ured. — A. W. Evans. 



1977. PoTiER DE LA Varde, R. Teratologie. Rev. Bryologique 47: 20-21. 2 fig. 1920. 

 —A moss-seta of Bryum Donianum Grev. bearing two capsules united at the base is described 

 and figured. Each capsule shows a typical external peristome with 16 teeth.— A. W. Evans
