I96 BOTANICAL GAZETTE. [ August, 



Cephalozia catenulata (p. 95 et Atict. Amer., not of 

 Lindenb.) is a new species described by Spruce under the 

 name of C. Virginiana. 18 



C. multiflora (p. 94) was erroneously described by Lind- 

 berg and corrected by Dr. Spruce ; 19 it should, therefore, 



read C. multiflora Spruce, with some alteration in the specific 

 description. 



C. Francisci, var. fluitans (p. 96), becomes C. fluitans 

 (Nees.) Spruce. 20 



Calypogeia (p. 85) becomes Kantia, as noted above, and 



our species become K. trichomanis (Dicks.) S. Gray, and K. 

 Sullivanti (Aust.). 



Trichocolea Biddlecomia^ (p. 82), imperfectly described, 

 presents no characters in the description which merit for it a 

 specific rank. No specimens are in existence, so far as we 

 can find ; it will, therefore, drop from the list. 



Scapania compacta, var. irrigua (p. 108), becomes S. irri- 

 gna (Nees) Dum. S. breviflora Tayl. (p. no), as seen in 

 Taylor's own specimen and drawing in the Gray herbarium, 

 is a synonym of S. nemorosa. S. albicans, var. taxifolia 

 (p. 108) is removed to Diplophyllum, and its nomenclature is 

 D. albicans (L.) Dum., var. taxifolium (Nees). 



Lophocolea minor (p. 89, Aust. Hep. Bor.-Am. No. 65b, 

 not of Nees), is L. Aiistini Lindb., while L. crocata (p. 90, 

 Aust. Hep. Bor.-Am. No. 65, not of Nees), is the true L. 

 minor Nees, as pointed out by the late Dr. Lindberg. 



Chiloscyphus D 



out of the 



list as a synonym of Harpanthus scutatus. There is a strange 

 mortality among Taylor's American species, and further 

 study of his private collection, which now forms part of the 

 Gray herbarium, will doubtless be a profitable work in clear- 

 ing up some problems in synonymy. 



Coleochila (p. 97) becomes Mylia, as noted above, and 

 our species is M. Taylori (Hook.j S. Gray. 



Pleuranthe olivacea (p. 90), another of Taylor's species. 

 is Harpanthus Flotovianus Nees. 



Jungermania polita (p. 104 Aust. Hep. Bor.-Am. No. 

 [6, not of Nees) is described by Dr. Lindberg as a new 

 species, J. laxa Lindb. 22 



MarsupcUa Dum., following Dr. Spruce, is to be sepa- 



ls spruce; on Cephalozia, 1882, p. 37.
