running through the lobes of the leaves. More typical members 

 of the genus, such as H. ovata (Hook.) Schiffn., show a group 

 of basal ocelli in the same position as in H. intermedia, but of 

 course their underleaves conform to the normal type. In the 

 form of its leaves the new Har-palejeunea agrees with certain 

 species of Drcpanolcjcunca, such as the recently described D. 

 sctistifa Steph., 1 of Java and Celebes. In this species, however, 

 the lobes of the leaves are strongly 'dentate and show scattered 

 ocelli.

The writer has already pointed out the fact, in the place above 

 quoted, that B. gottschci Schiffn. is a synonym of the older 

 Phragmicoma sandvicensis Gottsche. When B. gottschci was 

 first published it was somewhat doubtful whether Wichura's 

 type specimens came from Japan or Java. Since this time, how- 

 ever, it has been twice recorded as a Japanese plant, once by 

 Schiff ner, 3 whose specimens were collected at Tokyo by Miyake, 

 and once by Yoshinaga. Its occurrence in both Japan and the 

 Hawaiian Islands would seem to indicate that it has a wide geo- 

 graphical distribution, but it does not seem to have been reported 

 from any intermediate localities.
