148 No. 260 ‘No. 139, sub Hypno leskeifolio”’ should 
presumably read “No. 373, sub Brachy- 
thecio leskeifolio.” It is to be noted that 
C.M. has here described the same species 
twice, and under two distinct genera ! 
The following corrections may also be made :— 
On p. 121, No. 183, C.M. describes Grimmia austro-patens 
n. sp., based on Rehmann’s No. 137. The name is already, 
however, pre-occupied by G. austro-patens C.M., Bryologia austro- 
Georgiae, p. 316 (1890). As both species belong to Rhacomitrium, 
the S. Georgian plant (if a valid species) retains the name. The 
S. African plant, however, as pointed ovt above, is certainly 
identical with R. crispulum, Hf. & W. Paris has several errors 
in connection with this name. (Ind. Ed. 2, Vol. IV, p. 148). 
100. No. 126. Trichostomum leiodontium n. sp. Referred 
by Brotherus to Tortella xanthocarpa (Schimp.). It may be 
desirable to point out here that Paris has confused two species 
in his Index, Ed. 2. Under Barbula the reading should be :— 
xanthocarpa C.M. in Linnaea, xvii, 581 (1843). Syn. I. 619 
2 — Prom. B. sp. 
And under T'ortella :-— 
xanthocarpa (Schimp.) Broth. op. et 1. ce. 
ptodontium xanthocarpum Schimp. MS. in Muse. rca 
Trichostomum xanthocarpum C. M. in Hedwig. xxxviii, 99 
(1899). 
Trichostomum leiodontium C. M. in Hedwig. xxxviii, 100, 
fide Brotherus. 
XX.—MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 
Wit1t1am Rosson.—We record with regret the death on 
April 22nd of Mr. W. Robson, Agricultural Superintendent, 
Montserrat. 
Mr. Robson was appointed from Kew in 1905 (K.B. 1905, 60), 
and spent the whole of his official career in Montserrat. 
The Commissioner of Agriculture for the West Indies writes :— 
“While Mr. Robson worked whole-heartedly in the general 
agricultural interests of the Presidency, he will be particularly 
remembered for the valuable services he rendered to the cotton 
industry; he carried on for many years important investigations 
which resulted in the production of a definite strain of cotton 
sr suited to the requirements of the island. This strain of
