Campbell's Islands.) CRYPTOGAMIA ANTARCTICA, 7 
those now before us, from Campbell's Island, are smaller, less branched and various in colour, sometimes forming 
small dense tufts, hardly 2 inch in height, but not different in other respects.

Has. Lord Auckland's group ; on rocks, at an elevation of 1900 feet; rare, (with female fructifica- 
tion). Campbell’s Island; on the hills, in rocky places, from 800-1000 feet of elevation, with male 
inflorescence only. 
Muscus polymorphus, ceespitosus. Caules semi- ad bi-unciales, inferne nudi, superne ramosi. Folia basi macula

Folia perichætialia caulinis longiora, elliptico-lanceolata, convoluta. 
This species, of which we have no examples in good fruit, differs from 4. rupestris in the more erect and 
narrower leaves. The specific character has been drawn up from an examination of Falkland Island specimens, as 
well as of those from the Islands now under consideration. The other varieties are enumerated in the London 
Journal of Botany (vol. 3. p. 536.).

Has. Lord Auckland’s group and Campbell’s Island; upon rocks, at a considerable elevation on 
the hills. 
The cauline leaves of this variety are longer and more strict than in the other states of the plant enumerated in 
the ‘London Journ. of Botany’ (1. c.), and the theca and perichetium very inconspicuous ; we cannot however venture 
to separate it as a species. It differs from Z. Rothii, its nearest ally, in the leaves being longer and the nerve thicker, 
the latter occupying the whole breadth of the leaf, except at the base, so as to have been overlooked, and the leaves 
consequently described as nerveless.

Bridel, supposing this genus to be destitute of a vaginula, constituted it a separate order; in which he was 
followed by Brueh-and-Sehimper. us Arti وگ‎ Grrr) 
The female flower, at first sessile, in every respect like that of other pleurocarpous mosses, oceupies the place of 
a ramulus, or is inserted in the axis of two or more branches. As the fructification advances, the receptacle elongates, 
and the perichzetial leaves, becoming separated from one another, it presents the appearance of a lateral branch. The 
antheridia are found in the fertile plant at the clavate and often discoloured extremities of short deflexed ramuli:
