exceeding the leaves, tapering into the neck, or even apophysate ; capsule pyri- 

 form, 1-15 mm. long, bright golden brown ; lid small, dense ; beak short, sharp, 

 mouth not broadly flaring when old, often contracted below it, bordered by 5-7 

 rows of elongated transverse cells and a persistent ^orange-colored annulus of 

 smaller square, undifferentiated cells ; neck short, stomata immersed, walls of 

 the theca dense, regular ; spores rough ( 25-30 mmm. in diameter ), maturing in 

 March or April. Manhattan, Riley Co., Kan., W. A. Kellerman, April 26, 1889, 

 and March 6, 1889. (No. 38.) In moist sandy banks, near streams. Differs 

 from Drummond's specimens of P. Hookeri in the smaller size of the plants, the 

 lax, coarsely-serrate leaves, the shorter seta, more pyriform capsule, and especi- 

 ally in the annulus.
