chiopsts C. M. with Tristichium C. M.^ and elsewhere in a few reductions of species 

 of Carl Miiller and others to synonymy. Of new genera of mosses there are ten, 

 with one exception monotypic. A cleistocarpous Conostomum (p. 96)^ is remark- 

 able. The illustrations comprise eight plates and numerous figures in the text. 

 Not all the species are figured, and there are some figures of older species. 



After the list there follows a "Geographical Part" (pp. 27iff.), in which 

 various questions of phytogeographical interest are discussed. Much of value 

 is here brought out and a commendable attempt made to penetrate into the signi- 

 ficance of the tangled facts of tropical American moss-distribution. A more 

 synthetic point of view with reference to species would perhaps have given less 

 hazy results. A special connection between Bolivia and Mexico (p. 297 and 

 elsewhere) in so far as it rests upon the genera Husnotiella and Globulina is of 

 little or no value. Mr. R. S. Williams has already (Bryologist, XVI, 25. 19 13) 

 called into question the validity of the former genus and the case of the latter is 

 no better (Cf. Cardot, Revue bryologique, XL, 34. 1913). There is little in 

 common between the BoUvian and Mexican species comprising it. 



Two descriptions of moss-formations are particularly attractive: that of 

 the "Nebelwald" (p. 308) and that of the "immergrune Bergwiese" (p. 311).
