 be a variable character, and therefore that it should not 

 stand as a distinct species, hardly deserving the name of 

 a variety. As a variety it must be called :

 The geographical distribution of this variety of Homalia 

 trichomanoidcs^ includes necessarily all the stations 

 cited in Macoun's Catalogue for H. Diacoiinii with 

 those given for //. jamesii in Lesquereux and James' 

 Manual.
