are identical, and scarcely differ from G. crinita, except that 
the seta is rather longer, so that the capsule is more conspi- 
cuously exserted. G. sinaica B. & 8. (Mt. Sinai; leg. Schimper, 
1836, in herb. Schimp. at Kew) appears to be the same thing. I 
have not examined the peristome, for which the authors of the 
sry. Eur. describe some characters slightly differentiating G. 
sinaica from G. crinita, but apart from that I can see no differ-
