Oar specimens are identical with Isle of Bourbon specimens received, 

 under the name of Orthodon serratus, Bory, from Schwaegrichen : they, 

 however, do not accord with his description and figure 1. c. of that 

 species. 



The detailed description of Orthodon subglaber, Griffith, in the Mus- • 

 cologia Itineris Assamici, applies accurately to our moss : the same may 

 be said of Muller's Dissodon serratus. 



Octoblepharum serratum, Hook., is usually considered the same as 

 Orthodon serratus, Bory., but the serration of the leaf, and the struc- 

 ture of the calyptra of the former, as figured in Muse. Exot. t. 136, 

 preclude this view. 



Bridel's Octoblepharum serratum, Sp. Muse, may be the true Ortho- 

 don serratus, Bory.; not so his Orthodon serratus (Bryol. Univ.), 

 which conforms to t. 136, just cited.
