7. Bryum pallescens, Schwaegr.; Suppl. I. vol. ii. p. 67. t. 74. Bruch et Schimp. l. c. p. 51. t. 22. 
Has. Falkland Islands, on sand-hills at Uranie Bay. Hermite Island, Cape Horn. : 
8. Bryum Antarcticum, Hook. fil. et Wils.; monoicum, caulibus ramosis ceespitosis, foliis confertis 
imbricatis erecto-patentibus ovatis acuminatis concavis reticulatis evanidinerviis margine planis. (TAs.CLIIT. 
fig. VI.) 
Has. Cockburn Island, lat. 64° S., long. 57? W., with young setze. 
Caules 2 lin. longi, rubelli, inferne radiculosi. Folia late ovata, acumine brevi, apice diaphana, subdenticulata, 
rufescentia, nervo latiusculo rubello sub apice evanido, areolis subquadratis; pericheetialia majora, acumine longiore. 
Sela vix 14 lin. longa, crassiuscula, rubra. Calyptra rubra. los masculus in ramulis brevibus per innovationes 
lateralis floribus foemineis alternans ; antheridia cum paraphysibus longioribus subelavatis; archegonia paraphysibus 
brevioribus filiformibus immixta. 
Nearly allied to the British B. Zerii, Dicks., but differing essentially in the inflorescence. The leaves are more 
crowded and have smaller areolz.

9. Bryum Wahlenbergii, Schwaegr. ; Bruch et Schimper, l. c. p. 44. t. 17., Fl. Ant. pt. 1. p. 134. 
Var. 1. caule rubro, foliis ovatis rubellis. 
Var. 9. foliis ovato-lanceolatis laxis viridibus. 
Var. 3. caule elongato 2—3-unciali ramoso, foliis rubescentibus ovato-lanceolatis secundis. 
Var. 4. foliis ovatis secundis minoribus nigro-viridibus. 
Haz. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; var. 1, sand near the sea. Falkland Islands; var. 3, slate rocks near 
the sea (barren) ; Kerguelen's Land; var. 1, 2, and 4, all abundant. 
The var. 1 is very similar to British specimens, differing in the colour of the leaves and in their being less acute. 
This moss also inhabits Lord Auckland's group. 
10. Bryum vagans, Hook. fil. et Wils.; caule vage ramoso, foliis patentibus secundis ovato-lanceolatis 
apiculatis submarginatis apice serratis, nervo subcontinuo. (Tas. CLIV. fig. 1.) 
Has. Hermite Island; marshy places in the woods, especially on slopes, frequent, (barren.) 
Caulis basi procumbens, fere repens, biuncialis, apice ascendens, seepe incurvus, vage ramosus, rami erecti, apiece 
curvati. Folia laxe imbricata, patentia, secunda, mollia, ovato-lanceolata, apiculata, concaviuscula, submarginata ; 
nempe areolis marginalibus angustioribus, confertis, ceeteris majusculis, subrhomboideis, apice serrulata, basi haud 
decurrentia, nervo tenui subcontinuo instructa, juniora pallide viridia, vetustiora luteo-viridia. Flos masculus dis- 
coideus, terminalis ; folia perigonialia late ovata, basi erecta, concava, superne patula, serrulata ; antheridia numerosa, 
cylindracea, paraphysibus filiformibus immixta. 
Allied to B. Wahlenbergii, but larger, the leaves twice as long, less succulent, not decurrent at the base, mar- 
gined, apiculate, the nerve extending higher. During the winter months, owing to shifting of the watercourses, the 
banks on which this moss grows. become inundated, and the varieties that ensue are very puzzling. The original 
plant is gradually covered by a carpet of young branches of a bright green colour, the whole forming a soft spongy 
and treacherous covering to the bogs. 
Prats CLIV. Fig. I.—1, plant of the natural size; 2, leaf; 3, areole of ditto,—magnified.
