THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



I have detected this species in two collections received from North 

 India : viz., on wood, about 7000 £t. alt., Almora, coll. Miss Shepheard, 

 1910 (no. 21) ; and Landour, Mussooree, alt. 6900 ft., June 1921, 

 coll. Kenoyer & Dudgeon (no. 22 h). These agree well with 

 Hooker's plant, though they do not show the apical gemmae. 



Duby's Choix de Ckyptogamks, &c. 



The dates of these publications as given by Paris are very inaccu- 

 rate. Many of the new species were published in Flora before their 

 publication in the Mem. Soc. Phys. . . . Geneve ; and, moreover, the 

 dates for the latter publication given by Paris generally refer to the 

 dates on which the papers were read, not those of their publication. 

 As far as I am aware, there were seven papers issued, of which the 

 following is the correct bibliograplw : —

FiSSIDENS ZiPPELIANUS Doz. & Molk. 



Fissidens Zippelianush'd well known and very widespread moss; 

 it is not only distributed through the Indo-Malayan region and New 

 Guinea, but as Fleischer has pointed out (Musci .... von Buitenz. i. 

 41^) it exists in tropical Africa under the name of F. coriaceifolius 

 C. M., and, T have but little doubt, under several other names. 

 Unfortunately, the name Zippelianns must itself, I fear, pass into 

 the region of synonymy. I had occasion recently to examine the 

 type of F. silvatlcus Griff. (Mumbree, Griffith, 3oi3, in Herb. Kew.),
