C. rhystophylle C. Mill. (in Nuov. Giorn. Bot. Ital. n. ser. lil. 
98 (1896)) habitu similis et affinis; foliis autem laxius areolatis, 
lamellis minus evolutis laxius areolatis nec non foliis haud vel vix 
transversaliter undulatis differt. 
The present species closely resembles C. rhystophylla C. Miill. 
in general appearance. I am indebted to Dr. V. F. Brotherus for 
kindly sending me a specimen of Miiller’s species, from the type- 
locality Tue-lian-pin, Schen-si, China (J. Giraldi, April, 1895). 
On comparing this with the plant collected by Dr. Henry, it was 
found that the cells of the leaf and of the lamella were decidedly 
larger in the latter than in C. rhystophylla. In C, Henryt the leaf- , 
cells measure 15-20 » wide, whilst in C. rhystophylla they measure 
10-14 yw wide (cfr. figs. 4 & 7 with figs. 9 & 10). The leaves of 
doubtful if the true C. angustata really occurs in Japan. Mitten, 
in his “ Enumeration of all the Species of Musci and Hepaticz 
i oc. London, 2nd ser. iii. 
Bat. ii. 295, where the record runs, *‘copiosum legit Textor.” 
Mitten, however, remarks that the plant intended ‘‘may be the 
narrow-leaved state of A. undulatum.” There is a specimen in the 
Kew ] erbarium, labelled ‘ Atrichum angustatum Br. & Schpr. 
Japonia. Textor. Siebold.” This proves on examination to be 
certainly not C. angustata (which has a dioicous inflorescence), as 
s plant has an autoicous inflorescence, the male flower being 
situated close to the female. 
e remaining mosses collected by Dr. Henry belong to the 
following species :— 
unaria hygrometrica Hedw., ¢. fr. Yunnan; mts. to south-west 
of Mengtse, on rocks, 7000 ft. alt. (no, 18,716). 
Rhodobryum giganteum Hook., c. fr. Yunnan; Szemao, ravines,
