330 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



T. glaucinum, which is especially distributed in continental India 

 (where the other species has not yet been detected), occurs also 

 (according to Mitten) in Japan. Brotherus gives the distribution 

 of T. glaucinoides from Birma to the Liu-Kiu Islands and the 

 Bismarck Archipelago, which range I am able considerably to 

 extend, as I have received plants undoubtedly belonging to this 

 species from Malua, Upolu, Samoa, collected by Eev. J. W. Hills, 

 and also from Tongoa Santo, New Hebrides, leg. Eev. F. Bowie 

 (Nos. 564, 648), sent me by Mr. G. Webster. 



Astomum Levieri Limpr. in Africa. 

 Among a small collection of mosses made by Mr. A. Euddle 

 at Tlemcen, Northern Algeria, in April, 1913, and sent to me by 

 Mr. W. E. Sherrin for determination, was a small quantity of an 

 Astomum, which I have no hesitation in determining as A. Levieri 

 Limpr., which has not, I believe, been recorded from beyond 

 Europe hitherto. It differs from A. crispum in the somewhat 

 larger size, the plane margins of the leaves, and especially in the 

 capsule, which has a separating lid. The Algerian plant, though 

 immature, showed a ring of circumscribing cells to the lid, which 

 also under pressure manifested a distinct tendency to separate at 

 this line.
