below, all very chlorophyllose, the alar lax, enlarged, quadrate 
or subhexagonal, pellucid, yellowish, brownish or subhyaline. 
Flowers and fruit unknown. 
Distinguishable from D. fulvum Hook. by the stems not 
flexuose, the leaves not tufted, nearly entire, the costa broader, 
smooth or only very slightly papillose on the back and the 
supra-alar cells chlorophyllose, scarcely distinct from the others. 
FIsSIDENS DECIPIENS DeNot. var. Winonensis.— Differs from 
the type by its smaller size, the smaller and narrower leaves with 
the pellucid border most often indistinct and the less opaque 
areolation. 
Minnesota: Winona (J. M. Holzinger, Mosses of Minnesota, 
no. 6). 
Trichostomum indigens.—Very small, gregarious, dirty green, 
stems “scarcely 1-2™" high. Leaves patent, subcirrate when 
dry, 1.25-1.75™" long, oblong-lingulate, obtuse, apiculate of 
subacute, margins revolute below, plane above, very minutely 
crenulate by the projection of the papillz ; costa stout, percur- 
rent or vanishing just below the apex; cells minute, rotundate 
or subquadrate, densely papillose, becoming gradually larger, 
oblong, rectangular, pellucid and smooth toward the base. Per 
ichztial leaves from an oblong and loosely reticulate base, 
linear-lingulate, obtuse or mucronate. Pedicel thin, reddish, 
paler above, 4-6™ long, slightly twisted to the left under the 
capsule when dry. Capsule small, erect, oblong-cylindrical, | 
chestnut-colored, about 1™™ long. Lid unknown. Annulus — 
simple, teeth of the peristome purple, slightly twisting, on a nat- 
row basilar membrane, segments filiform, minutely granulosé, — 
marked with a longitudinal line, articulate, slightly nodose and 
partly connected in the lower part. Probably dicecious (male 
flowers unseen), 
Newfoundland (Rev. 4. C. Waghorne, 1895). 
Resembling the smallest forms of Barbulg unguiculata Hedw, 
by the shape and the areolation of the leaves, but well distinct by: | 
the peristome much shorter and less twisted, the teeth describ- :
