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

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

 Lower Arrow Lake, Columbia Eiver, B.C. (Macoun.') 



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



Differs 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,

Dicecious. 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 

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