SHORTER NOTES 



The mosses that the late John B. Leiberg collected in the Philippines and 

 in Hawaii are enumerated in the Torrey Bulletin for October^ last. The list 

 includes 57 species from the Philippines with three new species and one new 

 combination, while of the three Hawaiian species listed two are new. 



In the same issue of the Bulletin, R. Heber Howe, Jr.^ gives a descriptive 

 list with keys, historical notes, and ranges of the three species of TeloscMstes 

 recognized. The same author has also recently published a study of the genus 

 Cetraria^ containing descriptions of six species, key, synonomy, and maps illus- 

 trative of the distribution. 



We have already had occasion to mention the series of studies upon the 

 Norse mosses that are being issued by Dr. Hagen of the Natural History Museum 

 at Trondhjem. The latest one to arrive contains an account of the Poly- 

 trichaceae^ which is of especial interest to North American students on account 

 of the many species common to the two regions. All critical notes, of which 

 there are many, are in French which greatly facilitates reference. There is an 

 account of the morphological peculiarities of the family, with especial reference 

 to the epiphragm and peristome, followed by keys and descriptive matter for
