parallel plant of Camptochaete vaga in the British Museum collection 
(‘‘Hyp. cochlearifolium, New Holland, Dr. Greville, 1832’’) shows 
precisely the same habit as Berger ’s plant, and is connected with 
the ordinary form by intergrading stages 
The distribution of Z. divulsum avieais to be very similar to that 
of L. clandestinum.

One of the most distinct of moss genera, the species all being 
among the most delicate of the pleuroecarps, without any very: wide 
range of characters; almost constantly arboreal, nearly always autoi- 
cous and generally fruiting freely. The paraheetiaa bracts are 
——— being short and wide, the inner broad above and 
ridden rrowed to a fine point or hair, and the margins usually 
finely thea or ciliate. The eapsule is minute, ovoid, erect and 
peste don when deoperculate often urceolate, or hemispheric al.
