Only four of these, however, can be considered at all doubtful. One is Metz- 

 geria myriopoda, a species with a decidedly southern range; the others are Lo- 

 phozia longiflora, L. Muelleri, and Sphenolobus scitulus. A re-examination of 

 Macoun's specimens of these four species is much to be desired. Since the 

 publication of Macoun's Catalogue important collections of Quebec hepatics 

 have been made, not only by Professor Macoun himself, but by Professor J. F. 

 Collins, Rev. H. Dupret, Brother Victorin, and the writer. Another collection 

 was made by Mr. J. A. Allen as long ago as 1881 but was not studied by Pro- 

 fessor Macoun. These collections add forty-one species to those listed by Macoun. 

 Five of the most interesting of these additions, Clevea hyalina, Neesiella pilosa, 

 Lophozia badensis, L. Hatcheri (= L. Baueriana), and FruUania Bolanderi,^ 

 have already been recorded, and it is the purpose of the present paper to call 

 attention to the others. The species are arranged according to Schiffner's 

 system in Engler & Prantl's "Die natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien," and the only 

 dates given are those of the earliest collections. The additions increase the 

 total number of species known from Quebec to 104, or if the four doubtful species 

 listed by Macoun are omitted, to 100.
