index. The author has not hesitated to revive old names or to reduce species to varieties. 

 There are in consequence over 20 new combinations, although no forms whatsoever are pro- 

 posed as new. The new specific combinations proposed are the following, Machado being the 

 authority in each case: Camptoihecnim philippeanum (Spruce), Cinclidotus mucronatus 

 (Brid.), Plagiopus ithyphrjllus (Brid.), P. pomiformis (Hedw.), P. strictus (Brid.), Tortula 

 meridionalis (Luisier), and Trichostomum humile (Hedw.). — E. B. Chamberlain.

 tributions to the moss flora of Java, the Straits Settlements and Burma.] Hedwigia 60: 313- 

 330. 5 fig. 1919. — The author enumerates 206 species of mosses which he collected in 1897, 

 giving definite localities in each case. Of the species listed 194 came from Java, 28 from the 

 Straits Settlements, and 14 from Burma, most of the species from the last 2 regions being 

 recorded also from Java. Three of the Javan species are likewise listed from Sumatra. The 

 specimens were all determined by V. F. Brotherus and the following 3 species, all from 

 Java, are proposed as new on his authority and figured: Acanthocladium scabrifolium, Rhizo- 

 gonium salakanum, and Stereophyllum MoUeri. — A. W. Evans. 



1268. Pearson, Wm. Hy. Aplozia Pendletonii Pearson. Bryologist 23:84-85. Fig. 

 1-3. 1920. — This note completes the description of a species of hepatic recently proposed 

 as new [see Bot. Absts. 7, Entry 352].— £^. B. Chamberlain. 



1269. Pearson, Wm. Hy. Porella rivularis (Kees) Lindb. Bryologist 23: 85-86. 1920.— 

 This note, which is based on material from Oregon collected by C. Potter, deals with the 

 synonymy and distinctive characters of the hepatic, Porella rivularis.— E. B. Chamberlain.

 [Obsen'ations on certain species of the genus Fissidens.] Rev. Bryologique 47: 33-35. 1920. 

 — The earlier parts of the series to which the present paper belongs have already been ab- 

 stracted (see Bot. Absts. 5, Entry 627; 6, Entry 158; 7, Entry 1975). In this part Fissidens 

 Monguilloni Theriot and its occurrence in the French departments of la Mayenne and la 

 Manche are discussed. The distinctive features of the species are described, several speci- 

 mens from the departments in question are referred to it, and the opinion is advanced that 

 it has a wider distribution than had been supposed. — A. W. Evans. 



1271. PoTiER DE LA Varde, R. Sur le pedicelle du Stereophyllum Bremondii Th. et P. 

 de la V. [On the seta of Sterophyllum Bremondii.] Rev. Bryologique 47: 35. 1920.— The 

 seta of Stereophijllum Bremondii is smooth, while that of the closely related S. Blatteriis 

 papillose. Through an oversight this distinction was not brought out in the original descrip- 

 tion of S. Bremondii. (See Bot. Absts. 7, Entry 1976.) — A. W. Evans.
