BRITTON: WEsT INDIAN MOSSES 661 
The duplicate type from which Schwaegrichen’s plate was 
drawn has been loaned to us from Geneva and corresponds with 
all of this plate except the calyptra, which is lacking; but the 
hyaline basal cells are not clearly indicated. It is evidently a 
species of Syrrhopodon with entire leaf margins bordered by elon- 
gated cells and does not agree with any known to us thus far from 
the West Indies.

Haematoxylon and Mimosa Unguis-cati.”
