60 GEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SURVEY OP CANADA. 



(226.) B. lato-excisa, C. M. & Kindb. (n. sp.) 

 B. lievipila, Canadian Musci, No. 74, in part. 



Differs from Barhula leptotricha in the leaves being green, nearly 

 flat at the borders ; the outer basal cells faintly chlorophyllose, nar- 

 rowly marginate. 



On the bases of trees, on Mount Tolmie, near Victoria, Vancouver 

 Island, May 20th, 1887. (Macoun.) 



(227.) B. papillinervis, C. M. & Kindb. MS. (n. sp.) 



Allied to B. ruralis. Upper leaves subacute, leaf-base narrowly 

 margined, with pale-yellow cells ; calyptra very much prolonged below 

 the capsule. 



On rocks at Cache Creek, B.C., May 25th, 1875 ; also on dry rocks 

 at Eevelstoke, Columbia River, B.C., 1890 ; on rocks west side of 

 Lower Arrow Lake, Columbia River, B.C. {Macoun.) 



(228.) B. leptotricha, C. M. & Kindb. (n. sp.) 



Diifere from Barbula ruralis, principally in the shorter leaves, 

 emarginate at the apex, with a fine and nearly smooth hair-point ; the 

 basal cells hyaline. 



On limestone rocks. Point Wilkins, Lake Winnipegoosis, Manitoba, 

 July 16th, 1881. (Macoun.) 



(229.) B. (Syntrichia?) rotundo-emarginata, CM. & Kindb. 



(n. sp.) 



Dioecious. Plants loosely tufted, brown, about 1 cm. high. Stem 

 beset with emarcid leaves or naked below. Comal leaves close, patent 

 when moist, scarcely curved, papillose, short obcordate, not sheathing ; 

 margins slightly or not recurved ; cells subquadrate, the inner basal 

 greater and hyaline ; costa red and thick, faintly rough at back, 

 excurrent into a long, hyaline, or at the base reddish, more or less 

 denticulate hair-point. 



This species belongs either to the section Syntrichia or to Eubarbula 

 (Ganeifolice) ; the leaves are larger than in Barbula carnifolia. 



(230.) B. Muelleri, Bruch & Schimp. ; Lesq. & James, Mosses of 

 North America, 133 ; Canadian Musci, No. 83. 



On earth in the mountains at Yale, B.C. ; on rocks in the vicinity 

 of Victoria, Vancouver Island. {Macoun.) On rocks. Alert Bay, Van-
