216 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



tioii. They proved to be species which, in Dr. Levier's words^ 

 constituted " veritable curiosities in hepaticology." One of them 

 was Lepidozia long iscypha,Taj\., Si sY>ecies which no one in Austra- 

 lia had found for nearly 50 years, and which had, so Dr. Stephani 

 said, become " a myth." It was found by me in Shaw's Bay, at 

 the mouth of the Richmond, mixed with a new Sphagnum. The 

 other species was Lepidozia seriatitexta, Steph. This species had 

 been found, not long since, by Peter Duseu in the south of South 

 America, and had been determined as a new species by Dr. 

 Stephani, whose description of it was only published in the course 

 of 1900. My specimen was found in the Alston ville Cutting, 

 about live miles from Ballina. The species is thus another link 

 of connection between Australia and Patagonia.
