BOTANY. 
tendency to separate as in O, Temnum ; tlie cross-like projections from their 
apices are an unusual feature. On damp shaded rotks in the West Humboldt 
Mountains, Nevada; 5,500 feet altitude. (1,402.) 
Orthoteichum anomalum, Hedw. All Europe; Algeria; Greenland; 
from the Barrens of Arctic America (Richardson) to the Saskatchewan, 
(Bourgeau,) Lake Superior, and Canada; Massacliusetts and Pennsylvania; 
Colorado, (Hall.) Var.; differing from tlic type in its thicker leaves, with 
more revolute margins and more prominent papillae, which are often bifid, 
and in its closer areolation; calyptra more pilose. Better specimens may 
prove it a new species. On sand from granite rocks in Clear Creek Caiion 
near Carson City, Nevada; 5,000 feet altitude. (1,403.) 
Orthoteichum l^vigatum, Zetterstedt. Differt ab O. anomalo simili : 
fohis solidioribus ad marginem valde revolutis margineque ipso papillis prom- 
inuhs creuulato, angustius retriculatis, reti basilari breviore ssepius sinuoso- 
lineali ; flore masculo axillari ; calyptra magis pilosa ; capsula ovato-oblonga 
omnino estriata, leptoderma, lutescente, sicca cylindracea, sulcis angustis 
irregularibus exarata; peristomii dentibus lanceolatis, regularibus, densius 
articulatis, punctatis, siccitate reflexis. — This species is allied to O. anomalum^ 
from which it may, however, be known by its smooth capsule with the teeth 
of the peristome reflexed when dry. It miglit be mistaken for O. striatum, 
L., (O. leiocarj)um^ on account of its smooth capsule, the only point of re- 
semblance. Norway ; not before detected in America. In Willow Creek 
Caiion in the Pah-Ute Moujitains, Nevada ; 5,500 feet altitude. (1,404.) 
Orthoteichum eupestee, Schl. Mountains of Europe ; Barrens of 
Arctic America, (Richardson ;) Big Tree Grove and Yosemite Valley, Cali- 
fornia. On dry rocks in the East Humboldt Mountains, Nevada ; 6,500 feet 
altitude. (1,405.) 
ORTHOTRiCHLTki occiDENTALE, Jamcs. Most nearly allied to O. strangu- 
latum^ from which it differs chiefly in its longer and more loosely foliated 
stem, in its little longer acute and strongly papillose leaves, the papillae more 
usually bifid and truncate, and in its slightly longer pedicel, &c. — On rocks 
in the Uinta Mountains, Provo Canon, Utah ; 8,000 feet altitude. (1,406.) 
Var. With longer papillae, shorter capsule, &c. — In Willow Creek 
Canon above Washoe Lake, Nevada; 5,500 feet altitude. (1,407.) 
Geimmia (Schistidium) confeeta, (Funk.) Mountains of Europe; 
Abyssinia ; New England, Pennsylvania and Illinois ; Mount Diablo, Califor-
