We advance this species with much hesitation and after a very careful examination. It is most nearly allied 
aby sol, to the B. balanoides (Tayl. MSS.), of which it may possibly be a variety, differing from that moss in the rigid and 
dd to the differently shaped leaves, in the large annulus and distant trabecule of the outer teeth. The capsule is not suffici- 
lis inque ently mature to show the nature of the cilise of the inner peristome.

oblong Has. Campbell’s Island; frequent on the hills; not seen in Lord Auckland’s group. 
The absence of this moss, in the parts of Lord Auckland’s group explored by the expedition, is very remark- 
able, considering its abundance in Campbell’s Island, and is doubtless owing to the presence of carbonized matter 
over the surface of a great part of the latter island. In the Antarctic regions, as in Europe, the Funarie invariably 
ranacea, 
, nitida, follow fires, and the confervoid filaments of its youngest state constitute the first appearance of vegetation on the 
burnt soil of the Falkland Islands. ۱

hich Has. Lord Auckland's group and Campbell’s Island; on moist rocks, at an elevation of 1400 feet in 
oss the former and 600 in the latter island. 
ond. The original specimen, figured in the * Musci Exotici, has the leaves terminated by a slender hair-like produc- 
| in tion of their own length, whilst others, gathered by Dr. Lyall at Rio, are muticous in that respect; those now 
before us are intermediate, and some others from Cape Horn more closely resemble the moss of the Andes.
