Falklands, etc. | CRYPTOGAMIA ANTARCTICA. 101 
Our specimens agree precisely with an original one from P. de Beauvois himself. The leaves are more falcate 
and wider at the base than those of D. Billardieri, to which this moss is very closely allied.

Var. caulibus apice ramosis, ramis brevibus confertis flagelliformibus. 
Has. Falkland Islands, amongst stones on Mount Vernet, not common, and always barren. 
This peculiar condition of the moss is probably the result of its exposure to a dry atmosphere. Similar appear- 
ances occur in such British species as Campylopus flexuosus.

Var. 2. foliis vix secundis. 
Haz. Hermite Island, Cape Horn, both varieties, the first in clefts of rocks, common, but rare in fruit. 
Thecse smaller and more erect than in European specimens. Intermediate between the usual form and 
D. Sphagni, Wahl. 
8. Dicranum tenuifolium, Hook. fil. et Wils.; caule ramoso, foliis circinatim falcatis basi lanceolatis 
longissime capillaceis integerrimis nervo lato percursis, theca turbinata, operculo longirostro. (Tas. CLII. 
fig. VIL.) 
Haz. Hermite Island; moist shelving rocks on Mount Foster, above Deep-water Bay, scarce. 
Caules unciales, parce ramosi, ceespitosi, curvuli, luridi, Folia longissima, angustissima, conferta, eleganter 
circinato-falcata, lurido-viridia, inferiora atrata ; perichetialia basi latiora, vaginantia. Seta 3-4 lineas metiens, cras- 
siuscula, pallide lutescens. Theca parva, suberecta, turbinata, ore patulo, senior fusca. Peristomii dentes rubri. 
Operculum oblique longirostrum. Calyptra dimidiata, scariosa, fusco-lutea. 
Our specimens are not in a very good state, being too far advanced. Allied to the European D. falcatum, from 
which it differs in having narrower and longer leaves, and a very small nearly erect capsule destitute of a struma. 
Puare CLII. Fig. VIL.—1, moss, natural size; 2 and 3, leaves; 4-6, thece ; 7, peristome :—all magnified. 
9. DICRANUM vaginatum, Hook., Muse. Exot. t. 141. 
Has. Hermite Island, on moist banks of sea-sand in St. Joachim’s Bay, rare. 
Our moss differs from original specimens gathered by Humboldt on the Andes of New Grenada, in the following 
particulars: teeth of the peristome broader; capsule erect, short and turbinate ; seta shorter and thicker ; leaves 
entire, acute.
