Or THE FORTY-NINTH PARALLEL OP LATITUDE. 21 



G. varia, sp. nov. G.fasciculari simillima, sed major, foliis ovato- 

 lanceolatis apice obtusis vel (superioribus) pilo brevi subintegerrimo, 

 nervo percurrente, marginibus recurvis, cellulis basi ad latera paucis 

 oblongis rectangulatis interioribus elongatis confluentibus crenulatis 

 supra folii medium oblongis parietibus transversis distinctioribus su- 

 premis quadrato-rotundatis, perichsetialibus brevibus late ovatis con- 

 volutis, theca in pedunculo elongato cylindracea nitida, operculo su- 

 bulato subaequilongo, peristomio dentibus rubris praelongis angustis. 

 Hab. British Columbia, LyaU and Douglas ; and also in Observatory 



Inlet. 

 Much more robust than G. fascicular is, and with short diapha- 

 nous points on some of its upper leaves. The leaves are below of 

 an oblong-ovate form, the upper third constituting the lanceolate 

 point ; in this particular they are intermediate in outline between 

 those of G. fascicularis and G. canescens, wanting, however, the 

 laxly areolate auricles at the base in the latter. This moss needs 

 further observation ; but it can scarcely be considered a form of 

 G. fascicularis, 



G. CANESCENS (DHL). 



Hab. Vancouver Island, LyaU. 



G. LANUGINOSA, DHL 



Hab. Vancouver Island, Wood. 



No species o'f Glyphomitrium, Bridel, has yet been received 

 from British Columbia; but amongst Drummond's incomplete 

 specimens there occurs a small species which has never been 

 described. 



Glyphomitriem, Brid. 



G. Canadense, sp. nov. Monoicum, humile, foliis lanceolatis sensim 

 acutis, margine inferne recurvo, cellulis basi oblongis ad angulos an- 

 gustatis inde in rotundas transeuntibus, perichaetialibus latissime 

 ovatis convolutis breviter apiculatis, theca in pedunculo bilineari ovali, 

 calyptra apice rugosa, habitu G. Daviesii simillimum. 

 Hab. British N. America, Drummond. 



The oval capsule and different areolation of the leaves readily 

 distinguish this from G. Daviesii, which in size and appearance it 

 much resembles. The operculum and peristome are absent.
