Rhodora [May 



These specimens are the following, the first being presumably the 

 typo of the species: Apiahy, Puiggari 82; Santa Catharina, Ule 51; 

 and Rio de Janeiro, Ule 108. In the first two of these specimens 

 spores are present and agree in all essential respects with those of 

 /•'. salina from the United States and elsewhere. Any doubt regarding 

 the identity of the two species is thus dispelled. 



The known range of F. brasiliensis now extends from southern New 

 England to Brazil. Many new stations have come to light during the 

 past few years, of which the following are perhaps of particular in- 

 terest: Kyle, Texas, F. McAllister 1; near Guadalajara, Mexico, 

 Barnes & Land 150; Santa Ana, Isle of Pines, Cuba, Brition & Wilson 

 15684; Maricao, Porto Rico, E. G. Brition 4103; Port of Spain, 

 Trinidad, R. Thaxter; and Arima, Trinidad, Brition, Britton & Brown 

 2300. In New England the species is still known with certainty 

 only from Connecticut. In the writer's revised list of New England 

 Hepaticae, 1 it is listed with a "— " sign from Rhode Island, on the 

 basis of an old record for " F. angulosa" in Bennett's Catalogue. 

 In June, 1922, Miss Annie Lorenz collected at Glocester in the same 

 state a large sterile Fossombronia that probably represents F. brasili- 

 ensis, but it would be wisest not to report it definitely from Rhode 

 Island until plants with capsules have been found.
