linear-lanceolate, acute, 2 mm., nerve solid usually excurrent 

 in a short smooth point, margin entire. • 



On dripping rock at the entrance to Port Arthur. 



Mr. Dixon notes that it is near M. peraristatum, 

 Brotherus, of Lord Howe Island. From this it differs in 

 being a much smaller, denser plant. "But the leaves differ 

 "in one or two ways, which I think are of importance. In 

 "your plant the narrow basal cells occupy only a small por- 

 "tion of the leaf ; while in M. peraristatum they are extremely 

 "narrow and sinuous, and occupy more than half the leaf, 

 "sometimes considerably more. In addition to this, the leaves 

 "in M. rodwayi taper gradually to a very acute apex, and 

 "the nerve becomes indistinct near apex, and does not appear 

 "to be excurrent, w^hereas in M. peraristatum the apex is 

 "rapidly narrowed and scarcely acuminate, while the nerve 

 "runs out very distinctly into a longish cuspidate point."

Leucohryum hrachyphyllum, Hampe. This moss has 

 the habit, structure, and fruit of the common Leucobryum 

 candidum, but very different foliage. With the latter the 

 leaves are narrow lanceolate, tapering to an acute apex, and 

 about 4 mm. long, but with L. hrachyphyllum the leaves are 

 lanceolate to oblong, with a short, serrate apex or apic-ulus, 

 and mostly but 2 mm. long.
