HEPATICA AUSTRALES. 95 
In the present paper, Dr. Stephani describes 27 new species 
from the New Hebrides and 6 from Lord Howe Island. The 
new species found in Mr. Lillie’s parcel are not described 
herein, but are placed on record in the belief that they are 
described, or are about to be described, elsewhere. Dr. 
Gunn is to be congratulated upon the remarkably interest- 
ing material collected by him, and by the natives under his 
direction ; and it is to be sincerely hoped that he will con- 
tinue to prosecute his researches. 
The new Australian species herein described, and the 
records herein published, may be compared with those 
published by Carrington and Pearson in the Proceedings of 
the Linnean Society of N.S.W. in 1887, p. 1035, collected 
by Mr. Thomas Whitelegge. Unless otherwise stated, all 
the Australian species herein recorded were collected by 
me.
