Admittedl}'- a very difficult family. Jaeger (Adumbr.) separated 

 the Weisiacece and placed them first of the Acrocarps. Dr. 

 Brotherus' publications hitherto have followed Jaeger in this and 

 in several other respects. Dr. C. Mueller, Mitten, and now Dr. 

 Brotherus ('Bryales') include Weisia and allied genera under 

 Pottiacece. CM., in Gen. M., Jaeg., Paris (Index) et al. make 

 Barhula a comprehensive genus, including Tortula, Tortella, etc. 

 Broth. ('Bryales, Part i.') forecasts a very complete analysis of 

 the Pottiacece, wndev the well-known divisions of (i.) Trichostomece 

 (leaves mostly narrow, elongate, and never broader in the upper 

 half); (ii.) PottiecB (leaves mostly broad, oval to spathulate); to 

 which he adds (iii.) Encalyptece, usually regarded as a separate 

 family. Unfortunately, his complete account of the Pottiacece is 

 not to hand. To his outline of the generic distinctions of the 

 subfamily, TrichostoTnece, we acknowledge our great indebtedness. 

 Our want of descriptions of some of the species, however, and the 

 absence of material for examination in many cases, make accuracy 

 in every detail scarcely possible.
