Dioicous ; in lax tufts J i in. high ; the stems simple. Leaves dull 

 yellowish-green, soft, erecto-patent, crisped when dry, oblong-lanceolate, 

 smooth at back or with a few scattered spinules, scarcely undulate, margin 

 spinose in upper, the teeth single or in pairs, sometimes nearly obsolete, 

 nerve with 2 4 low lamellae frequently interrupted ; cells hexagono- 

 rotundate, basal rectangular. Seta yellowish, capsule suberect, cernuous 

 when ripe, oblong and urn-shaped, yellowish-brown ; calyptra reaching 

 below the capsule, nearly smooth ; lid as long as capsule, reddish-brown, 

 shining, hemispherical, rostrate. Peristome large, teeth finely papillose. 



HAB. Sandy turf by roadsides and in woods, very rare. Fr. 8 10. Bedgbury 

 wood, Goudhurst, Kent, mixed with C. angustata (Sir J. Stirling, W. E. 

 Nicholson, and E. S. Salmon, 1898) ! ! 



This moss is very close to C. undulata var. minor, and as both vary consider- 

 ably in size and other characters, it is probable the present species has been over- 

 looked and referred to the latter. Mr. Salmon has admirably dealt with the subject 

 in his paper quoted. 



Catharinea angustata BRID. 



Bedgbury wood, Goudhurst, Kent, by sandy roadside, intermixed with the 

 last. Chobham Common, Surrey, with fine fruit (E. F. Shepherd, May 1903) ! !
