384 THE MOSSES OF LORD HOWE ISLAND^ 



{Barbella ettervis), Drepano-Hypninn leucorMorum {Ectropethe- 

 cium\ and Deiidro-Hypmiiyi pr(PAiitens {PterobryeUa). 



All these are included in my collection. 



In addibion, Mitten's "Catalogue" records Syrrhopodou Platy- 

 cerii Mitt., Macromitrium Toiigeiise Sull., Bryum Billardieri 

 Schwgr., and B. Commerso7iii Brid., Rhaphidostegiuyn contigiiinn 

 H.f. W., Plagiotheoium Howeanum CM. {Hypnum), and hoptpry- 

 giuni moUiculum Sull.,(//. Norfolkianum; li. ivtidulnin Hpe. et 

 CM.). 



Of these, Macromitnum Ponyense, the two Hrya, Plagiothecium 

 Hoiveaiiuni^ and /. tnollicidum, are not represented in my collec- 

 tion. 



I question the occurrence of Al. Toiigense^ Bryum Billardieri 

 and Commerso'iiii, and /. molliculnm. 



2. In 1887, Mr. Thomas Whitelegge collected a few specimens 

 on the Island, and the resulting list (determined by Dr. Broth- 

 erus) was published in these Proceedings (1892, Vol.vii., p. 277). 



Mr. Whitelegge's list includes the following, as new species : 

 Macromitriu7n peraristatuni, Bryum Whiteleggei, DistichophyUutu 

 leucoloma (apparently an error for D. longicuspes), Trichosteleuni 

 inuscicolum, Campylo2)us bartrmnioides (Dicranoloma), Leuco- 

 bryum, pseudo-candidum, and Fissidens lioweanus. Of these new 

 species, M. pe7'aristatu7n, D. longlcuspes^ D. barlramioides, L. 

 pseudo-ca7ididum, and T. inuscicolum were published by Dr. 

 Brotherus in "Some new Species of Australian Mosses," Part ii., 

 1893. 



Mr. Whitelegge's list records two species which I did not find, 

 viz., jRhizogoJiium parraniattentie CM,, and Thuidiuni proten- 

 sidumCM.. Nor did I find the two undescribed species, Bryxim 

 Whiteleggei and Fissidens hoiveanus. 



3. A few species were also brought to Sydney by Mr. J. H. 

 Maiden, and Messrs. Medley and Dun, but without any addi- 

 tion being made to previous lists. 



4. Torlella cirrhata (R^q.) is recorded for Lord Howe Island 

 in the Melbourne Herbarium, but T. cirrhata belongs to Western 

 Australia. The Lord Howe Island moss is a new species, T. 

 subjiavovirens.
