My specimens of this moss are not so perfect as I could wish, 
—That it is a Dicranum, however, will scarcely admit of a 
doubt; and that it is of the same family as D. scoparium, to which 
species perhaps it approaches nearer than to any other. It is, ner 
vertheless, much smaller, of a remarkably fulvous colour, with 
leaves very much crisped when dry, and with a strong nerve, 
which at once distinguishes it from all jts affinities,
