Genus Campylopus. 

 The species belonging to this genus are easily recognised 

 by their erect, densely-tufted habit, the upper half of the 

 fruitstalk being hygrometric, moving up or down accord- 

 ing to the amount of moisture by which the plants are sur- 

 rounded ; they also have very broad lamellated nerves ; their 

 peristomes are bifid in the upper part and united below ; the 

 calyptra is cucullate, and almost invariably fringed at the 

 base with cilia. They flourish luxuriantly in damp or wet 

 situations, in the crevices of rocks, on marshy ground, and on 

 wet rotten wood or other decaying vegetable matter. 



This genus is well represented on Stewart Island, especially 

 on Mr. Walker's run, which is a low marshy valley that ex- 

 -tends from Paterson's Inlet to Mason's Bay and Kuggedy
