314 SUMMARY OF CUUllENT 1IESEA.11CHES RELATING TO 



Cryphseaceae of C. Mliller's Herbarium.* — M. Fleischer publishes 

 a ciiticiil revision of some of the genera in Carl Miiller's moss-herbarium 

 at Berlin, especially in the family Cryphreacea?. Miiller too often 

 disregarded the work of his contemporaries Mitten and Schimper. 

 Fleischer arranges in parallel columns the species names represented 

 in Miiller's herbarium, and the correct names to be maintained at the 

 present day. Seventy-two species of Cryphaea were recognized by 

 Miiller, some of them unpublished. These and their present-day 

 names, with annotations, are set out by Fleischer in parallel columns, 

 with the result that several (twenty-seven) of them pass into eight other 

 genera, principally Acrocnjphsea ; and two new genera, Sphaerotheciella 

 and Cryphaeophilum, are created by Fleischer from the types Cryphsea 

 ."^phseromrpa and G. mollis respectively ; also Gyptodon Paris and 

 Schimper is revived as a genus of Cryphsacefe. Treated in like 

 fashion, five of the nine species of Dendropogon in ^Miiller's herbarium 

 pass into Gyptodon. 



North American Hepaticse.f — A. W. Evans publishes his sixth 

 chapter of notes on North American HepaticEe, including two species 

 new to science — Jamesoniella heterostipa and Golohjeunea tuberculata, 

 and three which are additions to the United States flora — Aphanolejeunea 

 sicaefolia Evans in Florida (West Indian), FruUania imxkana Lindenb. 

 in Arizona (Mexican), F. riojaneirensis Spruce (South American). The 

 structure and morphology of the two new species is described and 

 figured. Jamesoniella heterostipa, found in Nova Scotia, is closely 

 related to J. autumnalis ; but, as the latter is an anomalous member 

 of Jamsoniella, in respect of its habit, liranching, cell-structure and 

 underleaves, it is quite a question whether it would not better be 

 placed in a new genus. Gotolejeunea tuberculata, found in Florida, is 

 remarkable for tbe roughness of its leaves and perianth. FruUania 

 mexicana Lindenb. is very closely allied to F. Rappii Evans, found in 

 Florida in 1918 ; it belongs to the sub-genus Trachycolea ; details of 

 its structure are given. 



Hepaticse of New Mexico.'!— P. C. Standley publishes a list of seven 

 Hepatica?, the first ever recorded for New Mexico — a state which by its 

 arid climate is so unsuited to the requirements of hepatic life. It is 

 only high on the mountains that these plants have been observed : — 

 FlayiocJiasma riipestre, Rehoidia kemisphserica, Gonocephalum conicum, 

 Marchantia polymorplM, Ghiloscyphus rivularis, Porella platyphylla, 

 FruUania Brittoniae. The first-mentioned species occurs also in Arizona, 

 but nowhere else in the United States. 



Bucegia.§ — C. C. Haynes publishes figures of Biiregia romanica, 

 collected in British Columbia by A. H. Brinkman, and previously known
