edition, but are not included in the “Manual.” The Con- 
necticut Fontinalis is here transferred to F. Nove Angle 
Sulliv., a species proposed as new and based on material from’ 
several stations in southern New England. Eight years after- 
ward, in his “ Icones Muscorum,” Sullivant accredited to Con- 
necticut a second species of Moss, Grimmia Olneyt Sulliv., 
originally described from Rhode Island material. 
About the time of Sullivant’s death, Professor Eaton began 
a correspondence with the late C. F. Austin, of Closter, New 
Jersey, who published many short papers on Bryophytes be- 
tween 1863 and 1880. Austin was even more interested in 
the Hepatice than in the Mosses, and much of our present 
knowledge of this group of plants is based on his studies. 
In 1873 he issued his “ Hepaticee Boreali-Americane,” the first 
set of exsiccate devoted exclusively to North American 
Hepatics. For this publication Professor Eaton supplied a 
portion of the material distributed under No. 115, as Aneura 
pinnatifida Nees, now known as Riccardia sinuata (Dicks.) 
Trevis., and this is apparently the first published reference to 
a_ Connecticut Hepatic, the specimens being recorded from 
near New Haven. ; 
With the exception of these scattered notes nothing of im- 
portance seems to have been published on Connecticut Bryo- 
phytes .until 1878, although a large collection was gradually 
being accumulated. In this year the Berzelius Society of the 
Sheffield Scientific School printed “ A Catalogue of the Flow- 
ering Plants and Higher Cryptogams growing without cultiva- 
tion within thirty miles of Yale College.” This catalogue in- 
cludes not only the Acrogens, or Pteridophytes, but also the 
Anogens, or Bryophytes, differing in this respect from the 
majority of local lists. The account of the Anogens, in which 
170 Mosses and 54 Hepatics are enumerated, was prepared by 
Professor Eaton, and forms one of his most important contri- 
butions to the literature of bryology. The common and widely 
distributed species are listed by name only, but definite stations 
are given for the rarer species, and frequently the names of the 
collectors also are mentioned. Although Professor Eaton’s 
own name appears but rarely, it is evident from his herbarium 
that he had found most of the species listed. Mr. J. A. Allen
