Hab.— Shore of L. Neagh, Ardmore, Armagh (Rev. H. W.Lett 1885) ! ! 



A plant of wide distribution, and as usual with such, subject to consider- 

 able variation ; it may however be generally recognized by the obtuse apicu- 

 late leaves with recurved margins, and thin-walled oblong capsule without 

 any annulus. In its very slender fragile peristome it resembles B. fallax. 



16. BAEBULA MTJCRONATA Brid. 



This was misplaced under TortulaaX p. 218, its most natural position is 

 here next to B. unguiculaia, and indeed it clearly forms a connecting link 

 between that species and CincUdotus.
