The inner perichaetial bracts in C. orthorrhynchum are longly 
ciliate-fringed in the upper margin, while here the margin—like 
the subula—is runcinately toothed; the lower part of the seta 
is in that species smooth, while here it is warted almost or quite 
to the perichaetium. I find no difference in the gametophyte.

Ctenidium falcifolium Dixon sp. nov. 
Laxe caespitosum, flavo-aureum, sat robustum. Caulis repens, 
ad 3 cm. longus, plusminusve regulariter, nonnunquam dense 
pinnatus, ramis circa .75 cm. longis, apicem versus caulis sensim 
decrescentes. Folia haud valde conferta, plerumque falcato- 
decurva, flexuosa; caulina e basi anguste oblonga sensim in subu- 
lam longam piliformem fortiter arzgute dentatam, saepe tortam, 
angustata. Folia ramea similia sed angustiora. Cellulae per- 
angustae, longae, dorso Jaeves, per totum folium fere uniformes, 
basilares haud laxiores, alares vix ullae, ad angulos extremos 
tantum I-2 parvae, hyalinae. 
Perichaetium majusculum, foliis internis longis, patentibus, 
sensim lenge subulatis, argute dentatis. Seta circa I cm. alta, 
tenuis, laevis; theca parva, 1 mm. longa, inclinata, oblonga, 
gibbosa, sub ore constricta; i: basin in setam abrupte contracta.

A little obscure as to position, having some title to be con- 
sidered a Stereodon rather than a Ctenidium. The general 
foliation, the coarsely toothed leaves, turgid capsule, &c., how- 
ever, rather suggest Ctenidium. It is quite distinct from its 
allies in the falcate, narrow leaves without angular cells, and 
small capsule, with the exception of C. stereodontoides Dixon 
from South India, which has much the same habit and leaf 
form and structure. The colour there, however, is green, not 
golden, the leaves are far less sharply toothed, with more numer- 
ous and distinct alar cells.
