THE HEPATICS OP NEW ZEALAND 263 



habitat of the species enumerated for New Zealand, but that has 

 proved impossible. Eecent collections in that country are very 

 sparsely represented at Kew and at the British Museum, and in 

 the case of the older ones the labels are generally without precise 

 locality. The general distribution is as given by Herr F. Stephani 

 in his Species Hepaticarum. 



My thanks are due to Herr Stephani for kindly consenting to 

 determine this collection ; also to Mr. Gepp, of the British Museum. 

 Four new species are enumerated, viz. Marchantia laceriloba 

 Steph., Aneura papulolimhata Steph., Calobryum Gibbsice Steph., 

 and Lepidozia Gibbsiana Steph. These species have not yet 

 been described, as Herr Stephani has been obliged to postpone 

 microscopic work for the present, but they will be published in 

 due course.
