My specimens of this moss are not so perfect as I could wish. 
—That itis a Dicranum, however, will scarcely admit of a 
doubt; and that it is of the same family as D.scoparium, to which 
species perhaps it approaches nearer than to any other. It is, ne- 
yertheless, much smaller, of a remarkably fulvous colour, with 
leaves very much crisped: when dry, and with a strong nerve, 
which at once distinguishes it from all its affinities.
