(4) On Splachnum luteum, Linn. By J. R. Vaizey, M.A, 
Peterhouse. 
In the summer of 1887 I went to Norway for the purpose 
of obtaining a supply of this moss, in order to investigate the 
structure of the sporophyte; the imvestigations of Haberlandt’, 
Vuillemin® and myself* in the last two or three years having 
convinced me of the importance of increasing our knowledge 
of the highest development to which the sporophyte attaims in 
the Muscineae; this is undoubtedly reached by S. lutewm and its 
immediate allies. 
In the sporophyte of Splachnum luteum we have a structure 
with a remarkable similarity to an umbrella, the handle end of 
which is inserted in the tissues of the oophyte and is known 
as the foot. The seta is much elongated, bearing the umbrella- 
like expansion, the apophysis, at the top just below the spo- 
rangium. It is the structure of the apophysis with which we 
are chiefly concerned. 
A transverse section through the vaginula, including the foot 
of the sporophyte, shews the tissues of the oophyte in this part 
to contain a considerable quantity of organic substance, and this
