  tire,

  merely 
  or 
  perforated 
  here 
  and 
  there 
  on 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  

   division," 
  while 
  in 
  our 
  moss 
  the 
  leaves 
  are 
  nearly 
  always 
  entire 
  

   at 
  apex, 
  with 
  the 
  costa 
  distinctly 
  passing 
  into 
  the 
  hair-point 
  

   and 
  the 
  teeth 
  of 
  the 
  peristome 
  ver}- 
  cribrose. 
  Sometimes 
  the 
  

   hair 
  is 
  greenish 
  at 
  base 
  or, 
  on 
  the 
  contrary, 
  slightly 
  decur- 
  

   rent. 
  It 
  is 
  only 
  on 
  stunted 
  and 
  diseased 
  stems 
  that 
  we 
  have 
  

   seen 
  the 
  leaves 
  slightly 
  sinuate-denticulate 
  and 
  hyaline 
  at 
  

   apex, 
  as 
  in 
  C 
  Wrighfii 
  Sull., 
  which, 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  hand, 
  is 
  

   easily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  C. 
  Renaiddi, 
  just 
  as 
  from 
  C. 
  Rani, 
  

   by 
  its 
  leaves 
  shortly 
  oval 
  or 
  suborbicular 
  and 
  more 
  suddenly 
  

   constricted 
  at 
  apex.

   Un 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  crispate 
  leaves 
  in 
  dry 
  state, 
  this 
  moss 
  

   has 
  the 
  facies 
  of 
  an 
  Ulota,

  it
