Brachythecium aWicans B. & S. — B, rutabulum B. & S. — B. rivu- 

 lare B. & S., with a form approaching the var. chrysophyllum Spruce 

 in having plicate leaves with recurved margins ; but they do not in 

 other respects agree with specimens I have from Mr. Bagnall. —

 Jiliforme Brid. — H. molluscum Hedw. — H. palustre L., including 

 forms with all the vegetative characters of the var. subsphcericarjwn

 Mr. Dixon's view of this variety is the correct one, and that barren 

 specimens cannot safely be referred to it. — H. cuspidatum L. —
