76 Sullivant’s Muscology. 
to be wrong, it must bear the. name of H. intertextwm, Muhl. 
Cat., which name Mr. Suttivanr has authenticated by the in- 
spection of the remains of the Muhlenbergian herbarium. No. 
9, H. alopecurwm, Linn.; to this Mr. Sunxivanr refers the H. 
neckeroides of Hooxer. Under No. 11, H. strigoswm, Horrm., 
two nominal species are reduced, namely, H. attenuatum, Bret, 
described from Torreyan specimens, and Leskea fasciculosa, 
Hepw., furnished by Muntensere. The synonomy of No. 14, 
H. Haldanianum, Grev., is for the first time set in order. It 
includes not only H. curvirostrum of Bripen, but also H. pul- 
chrum of Drummonp, and H. Cooleyanum of Sprencen. No. 
15, H. suberectifolium, Bripew, has not until now been heard of 
since it was detected by Bosc. No. 17, H. recurvans, Scuwxer., 
is a re-discovery of one of Micuavx’s mosses; and No. 19, H. 
reptile, is another species of Micnaux. No. 20, H. pratense, 
Kocu., is very little known, except by its occurrence by mistake 
in some of the copies of Drummonn’s Northern Mosses, under his 
Hl. amenum. To No. 30, H. varium, Bravv.,a fine set of syn- 
onyms, too numerous to mention, are reduced; and it is hinted 
that perhaps the whole should be referred to H. serpens ; which 
would be in accordance with the views of that acute botanist, 
Mr. Arnorr. No. 31, H. confervoides, Brip., no doubt the same 
as the Pennsylvanian plant mentioned by ScuwxericuEn, is per- 
haps distinct from the original European species. T'o No. 46, 
H. riparioides, Hupw., the H. prolixum of Mienavx is referred. 
No. 50, H. deplanatum, Scumprr, Mss., seems to be a common 
moss, though as yet it is undescribed. To No. 57, H. confertum, 
Dicxs., are reduced H. serrulatum, from Munvensere, (which 
was previously suspected,) and Hl. cupressetorum, furnished to 
Briwet by Torrey. The specimens of No. 58, the pretty Hook- 
eria lucens, were the first detected in the United States, but we 
believe Mr. Sutiivant has quite recently found it in Ohio also. 
No. 60 is published as a marked variety of Leskea polyantha, 
Hepw. ; but it is very likely anew species. No. 64, L. compressa, 
is a fed dery of a moss which Hepwie rééeived from Mux- 
LeNBERG. ‘The ticket of No. 65, L. adnata, Micuavx, is crowd- 
ed with interesting synonomy, the result of acute research. 'T'o 
No. 68, LZ. obscura, Hevw., the L. gracilescens is referred, from 
actual examination of the original specimens of MunLensere. 
69, L. nervosa, is the Pteregonium nervosum of Scuwmc-
