  _ 
  It 
  may 
  have 
  become 
  known 
  to 
  North 
  American 
  bryolo- 
  

   gists 
  that 
  Russow 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  recently 
  found, 
  in 
  S. 
  Wulfianum, 
  

   papilla; 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  walls 
  of 
  the 
  hyaline 
  cells 
  of 
  the 
  branch 
  

   leaves, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  they 
  are 
  united 
  to 
  the 
  chlorophvllose 
  cells. 
  

   isut 
  little 
  material 
  of 
  this 
  mag-nificent 
  species 
  has 
  hitherto 
  

  

  been 
  sent
