Chuari Road, and Ohamba-Pangie Road. Occurs usually under water or 

 very near flowing water. In some specimens the male receptacles showed 

 adventitious vegetative shoots usually from the posterior side. In one case- 

 a shoot was found growing from the anterior end of the male shoot below 

 the receptacle. 



Cryptomitnum liimalayense, Kashyap. (New Phytologist, Vol. XIV, 

 No. 1). The number of rhizoid furrows in the stalk of the female receptacle 

 is always one in this species. Stephani states, that in the only other species 

 of the genus, C. tenerum the number may be one or two. (Species hepati- 

 carum. Vol. I, page 222). In this connection it is interesting to note that a 

 specimen from Mussoorie in which the stalk had two perfectly normal 

 female receptacles at the top and therefore had apparently bifurcated, the 

 stalk had only a single furrow. The case of Marchantia palmata described 

 above may, with advantage, be compared with this. Mussoorie, Simla.

Wiesnerella denudata, (Mitten) St. Dalhousie — Chamba Road, a little-

Stephensoniella brevipedunculata , Kashyap, (New Phytologist, Vol. XIII, 

 No. 9), Mussoorie ; Garhwal near Gauri Kund. In one specimen the invo- 

 lucres were confluent dorsally. 



Aitchisoniella himalayensis, Kashyap, (New Phytologist, Vol. XIII, Nos. 

 6 and 7, and note in Vol. XIV, No. 1, page 18), Mussoorie ; very rare. 



Targionia hypopkylla L. var. integerrima, Kashyap, (New Phytologist, VoL 

 XIII, Nos. 6 and 7), Mussoorie ; Garhwal common. 



Cyathodium tuberosum, Kashyap. (New Phytologist, Vol. XIII, Nos, 6 

 and 7), Mussoorie. 



Fivibriaria jyathankotensis, Kashyap. n. sp. Monoecious. Male recep- 

 tacle just behind the apex on main frond ; female receptacle on very small 

 ventral shoots. Closely creeping, in dense green patches. Thallus once or 

 twice forked u^j to 2 c. m. long ; lobes linear or linear oblong up to 8 mm. 

 long and 2 mm. broad. Dorsal surface green, flat or slightly convex, 

 margins wavy purple, stomata small bounded by 2 series of 6 cells each ; 

 air-chambers small many-layered empty. Ventral surface purple, midrib- 

 convex gradually passing into the wings ; scales overlapping purple, exceed- 

 ing the margins, appendage long linear entire. Antheridial papillse small 

 purple. Stalk of female receptacle up to 5 mm. long paleaceous at the top. 

 Receptacle flat with high stomata and one or two involucres ; perianth 

 hyaline or reddish, § exerted, ovate. Capsule : elaters unispiral or partly 

 bispiral brown, up to 175u, generally less, sometimes branched ; spores 

 opaque, brown broadly reticulate, wing finely punctale ; 90u. Pathankot, 

 on the side of a pond. 



Fimbriaria Blumeana, Nees. Mussoorie. Monoecious, antheridia on a 

 cushion behind the stalk which is terminal on the main frond. 



Fimbriaria angusta, St. (Species hepaticarum, Vol. I, page 91). Mussoorie. 

 Dioecious. A curious abnormality was met with in a plant of this species 

 similar to the one described and figured by Solms-Laubach in Exonnotheca 

 pustulosa. (Bot. Zeitung, Bd. 55,1897). In the latter he has figured a receptacle 

 with two lateral involucres containing archegonia and one dorsal involucre 

 containing a ripe sporogonium. In the present species the usual number 

 of sporogonia is 4 or 5 and they are normally arranged on the under surface 

 of the receptacle. In one specimen, however, it was found that there were 

 four sporogonia each in its perianth and arranged normally and a fifth
