4. Campylopus elavatus, Br.; caule dichotomo fasciculato, foliis lanceolato-acuminatis piliferis so- 

 lidinerviis strictis aureis, capsula pendula striata. — Schwcegrichen, Suppl. t. 255 a. 



Hab. Middle Island, Lyall; barren specimen. 



Our specimen is much allied to ft introflexus, but has leaves with very short white tips, not suddenly deflexed 

 as in that species. Also a Tasmanian Moss. 



5. Campylopus introflexus, Hedw. ; caule erecto ramoso, foliis imbricatis e basi lata concava marginibus 

 pellucida acuminato-lanceolatis piliferis, nervo lato, pilo spinuloso divaricato, capsula obovata insequali.— -

Hab. Northern Island ; clay hills, common. 



Remarkable for the geniculate deflection of the white, rough, hair-like terminations of the] leaves which are 

 suddenly contracted at the bent part from the lanceolate base; nerve broad and well defined below; areola of the mar- 

 ginal portion of the leaf narrow, elongated, and pellucid. This species seems to be frequent in the Southern Hemi- 

 sphere, and no doubt variable.— Dicranum pudicum, Hornsch., probably belongs to this ; a variety with wider leaves 

 (barren) was gathered in New Zealand by Dr. Lyall. 



6. Campylopus hicolor, Hornsch.; foliis confertis strictis lanceolato-subulatis obtusis apice concavis. 

 Hab. Northern Island, Colenso. 



This Moss appears to be rare, and is described from barren specimens, remarkable for the blunt, concave apices 

 of the leaves, blackest in the lower part of the stem, glossy green above ; nerve broad. 



Gen. XIV. TEEMATODON, Richard. 



Peristomwm simplex. Denies 16, lanceolati, in crura duo in ffi qualia fissi, articulati, strigillati et 

 granulati. Cah/ptm inflato-cucullata. Capsula apophysi longa attenuata instructa, cernua, oblonga, 

 annulata. Operculum longirostre. — Habitus Dicranoideus. Folia angusta. 



1. Trematodon hngicottis, Eich. ; foliis subulato-setaceis siccitate flexuosis, pericliEetialibus longis- 

 simis, capsula elongata cernua apophysi basi subcerviculata multo longiore, operculo conico rostellato.—

Hab. Northern and Middle Islands : Bay of Islands, on moist clay banks, J. D. H. Wellington, 

 Lyall. 



Two forms: one with leaves gradually tapering to an acute apex; the other with linear, abrupt leaves, den- 

 ticulate at the apex; nerve thick, predominant. Schwaagrichen's figure represents the leaves much too short and 

 erect. Found in North and South America, and in the East Indies, Hongkong, and Java. 



Tribe V. Tkichostome2E. 

 Gen. XV. TOETULA, Schrei. 

 Peristomium simplex. Denies 32, longissimi, filiformes, sinistrorsum contorti, hygroscopici, basi 

 membrana brevi vel in tubum producta coaliti. Capsula erecta, oblonga, annulata. Operculum conico- 

 subulatum, oblique rostratum. 



Nearly allied in habit to Triclwstomum, but having the teeth of the peristome evidently contorted, and com- 

 posed of two differently coloured larninas. 



1. Tortula chloronotos, Brid.; caule brevissimo subsimplici, foliis imbricatis late ovatis concavis 

 piliferis margine reflexo, nervo fllamentoso gemrniparo, capsula elliptico-oblonga.— Bridel, Bryol. Univ. 

 i. 539. Bryol. Mirop. 



Hab. Northern Island, Colenso.
