nearly allied to G. pachgphglla, of which no specimens have been seen.— Gottschea paehyla, Crypt. Antarct. t. 156. 

 f. 2, is a species of entirely different habit, and in this particular approaches those Jungermarmim which are allied to 

 J. serrulata.

Hab. Northern and Middle Islands : Dusky Bay, Menzies. Dead wood at Tararua, Colenso. South 

 end of the Middle Island, Lyall. 



^ The figure in 'Musci Exotici' well represents the general appearance of this plant; but the leaves, which are 

 similar to those of G. Lehmanniana and G. Blumei, are represented as bifid and complicate, the dorsal lobe being 

 combined with the ventral about one-third of its width from its lower margin, having its own lower margin often 

 tree and resembling a keel along the combined lobes. This is caused in all the genus by the adhesion of the lobes 

 just above their lower margins, so as to form a single complicate leaf above, when the two free margins below form 

 a sort of double keel. 



6. Gottschea ciliata, Mitten; ramis adscendentibus paruni ramosis, foliis imbricatis lobis ovatis sub- 

 sequalibus eiliato-spinulosis, amphigastriis bifidis vel quadrifidis spinoso-ciliatis. (Tab. CI. Eg. 4.) 



Hab. Northern Island : on Hymenophyllum, Buahine mountains, Colenso. 



^ Pallida. Rami simplices, rarius ramosi. Amphigastria sinubus laciniisque rotundatis, toto margine dentibus 

 varie directis ciliatis. 



A species with much of the habit and appearance of G. pinnatifolia, but very distinct from it, and all other 

 described species, in the nearly equal lobes of its leaves, which, with the stipules, are so closely set with ciliiform 

 teeth, as to give the ventral side of the stems a woolly appearance.— Plate CI. Fig. 4 : — 1, a plant, natural size; 

 2, 3, stipules ; 4, leaves as seen on both sides : — all -magnified.

 Lyall. Dense forests, Wairarapa, Colenso. 



A very distinct and curious species, which is said to grow on the Neilgherry mountains.

More nearly allied to G. Lehmanniana than to G. Blumei; for though the dorsal lobe of the leaf is truncate as 

 in -the latter, the habit and appearance are altogether that of the former. The phyllidia are very variable : besides 

 being lanceolate, some are variously divided into narrow Iacimse.— Plate CI. Fig. 2 :— 1, a plant, natural size ; 

 2, a stipule; 3, a phyllidium; 4, leaves as seen on both sides of the stems :.— all magnified.
