in Honduras; the remaining two, according to our present knowledge, are confined to Florida. 

 The peculiarities of the species noted ;uv discussed and the new .species are described in 

 detail. In the case of Ptychocoleua heterophyllua vegetative reproduction by means of modi- 

 fied caducous leaves, borne on branches of limited growth, is reported. The figures illus- 

 trate Lejeunea longifissa and the 4 new species. — Alexander W . Evans.

 [Anomalies in the structure of the gemmae in Lunularia cruciata.] [Swedish with German 

 resume\] Bot. Notiser 1918:231-234. 9 fig. 1918. — The anomalies appeared mostly as a 

 result of supernumerary growing points. The gemmae often acquire a rounded-triangular 

 form with three growing points, one apical and two lateral, one on each side near the base. 

 Sometimes the apical growing point is lacking and two are present on one or both sides. In 

 one case a gemma was divided into halves, which curved at right angles to each other; when 

 placed in water for culture, one of the halves assumed a vertical position and formed 

 rhizoids on both surfaces. — P. A. Rydberg.

 — About a dozen species are mentioned, and notes on distribution are given in considerable 

 detail. Haplozia pumila is recorded from the county for the first time. — Alexander W. Evans. 



1587. Pearson, William Henry. Notes on Radnorshire hepatics. Jour. Botany 57: 

 193-195. 1919. — The paper is based on a collection made by Mr. Harry Bendorf at Aberedw, 

 in April, 1919. Forty-three species were identified, as compared with nineteen previously 

 listed from the country. Critical notes are given on several species, and a list of novelties 

 is included. Among the latter the following are especially noteworthy: Lejeunea cavifolia 

 (Ehrh.) Lindb., var. heterophylla Carr., Lophocolea spicata Tayl. and Riccia Crozalsii Lev. 

 The first of these is provisionally raised to specific rank under the name Lejeunea hetero- 

 phylla (Carr.) Pears. — K. M. Wiegand. 



1588. Pearson, Wm. Henry. Hepatics of the Hebden Bridge Valley. Naturalist 1918: 

 123-124. 1918. — The results of a collecting trip made in September, 1917, are reported. 

 Among the more interesting species found are the following: Nardia geoscypha, Scapania 

 umbrosa, S. curta, Lophozia atlantica and Jubula Hutchinsiae. — Alexander W. Evans.

 gartner's Dalmatian Hepaticae. Third Series.] Oesterr. Bot. Zeitschr. 67: 147-156. 19 fig. 

 1918. — The region treated — the Zaratiner — embraces the Dalmatian coast from Nona to 

 Zaravecchia, together with the neighboring islands. The ground is for the most part low 

 and covered over with evergreen shrubs. Twenty-seven species of Hepaticae are enumer- 

 ated with citations of specimens, ten belonging to the Marchantiales and seventeen to the 

 Jungermanniales. Riccardia multifida (L.) S. F. Gray is recorded for the first time from 

 Dalmatia and the following varieties are described as new: Riccia subbifurca Warnst., var. 

 inversa Schiffn., and Fossombronia caespitiformis De Not., var. multispira Schiffn. The 

 figures illustrate Riccia Henriquesii Lev. and R. subbifurca, vars. eutricha Schiffn. and 

 inversa. — Alexander W. Evans.
