striking, and, according to the description, the characters drawn fron^ 

 the ehiters would indicate a relationship with this species rather than 

 with P. pkifi/phi/Ua. Unfortunately the structure of the elaters is not 

 quite so uniform as Schiffner implies. In the single mature capsule 

 examined by the writer (taken from Kryptogamen Badens 164), 

 some of the elaters agree closely with Schiffner's description; in others, 

 however, the unispiral portions at the ends are very short, and a few 

 elaters are l)ispiral throughout, the tw^o spirals forming a loop just 

 as in P. plafi/phi/Ua. In its elaters, therefore, M. Bawri is inter- 

 mediate betAveen P. platyphylloldca and P. platyphyUa. 



The additions to local state floras, not already mentioned on the 

 preceding pages, are as follows: — 



For ]\Iaine. Cephalozia macrostachytt, Roimd Mountain Lake and 

 vicinity, Franklin County (.4. Lorenz). 



For New Hampshire. Calypogeia sphagnicola, Mt. Monadnock 

 {A. Lorenz). 



For Massachusetts. Riccia Lcscuriann, Northampton (A. Lorenz). 

 Riccia sorocarpa, Deerfield {A. Lorenz). Lophozia alpcsiris and 

 Sphenolobu^ Ihilcrianus, Sheffield {A. Lorenz). Lophozia attenuata 

 and Sphenolobus minutus, Mt. Everett, town of Mt. ^Yashington 

 (A. Lorenz). 



As already noted the New Englanfl records for Scapania gracilis 

 and Porella rivularis and the \'ermont record for Scapania dentata 

 should be erased. The New Hampshire, ^Massachusetts and Rhode 

 Island records for Porella platyphyUa, which were marked in the 

 Revised List with the sign "+," should now be marked with the 

 sign " — ." The Massachus'etts record for Grimaldia fragrans, however, 

 which was marked in the Revised List with the sign " — ," may now 

 be marked with the sign "+," the necessary specimens having been 

 collected by A. Lorenz. 



The census of New England Hepaticae now stands as follows: 

 Total number of species recorded, 185; number recorded from Maine, 

 131, for New Hampshire, 138; for Vermont, 120; for Massachusetts, 

 1 10; for Connecticut, 141 ; common to all six states, 59.
