In Transactions of the N.Z. Institute, xxv. 1892, was published 

 an account of another collection made by Mr. Helms in the West- 

 land district, by Dr. Carl Muller. This collection comprised about 

 eighty species of mosses, many of which were described as new. 

 On some of these Dr. Kirk remarks as follows, and I am much in 

 sympathy with his views, being inclined to regard many " new 

 species " of late years as having much too slight characters and 

 belonging to the class imponderables : — 



Hypn. planifrons C. M. Close to H. spininervium, but of coarser 

 habit. Leaves larger, but the cell structure identical. — H. Helmsii 

 G. M. is Isothecium Kerrii of Handbk. 



Tmchyluma IL-lnmi CM. appears a state of T. planifoiium, with 



%riopL\lilcldi CM. I incline to think a form of cristatus.
