The numerous critical notes scattered through this paper, and other results 

 of close study, bear evidence of the friendly care with which Mr. Dixon is accus- 

 tomed to do his work on mosses.

SHORTER NOTES 



Senhor Gongalo Sampaio^ has recently published an annotated and descrip- 

 tive Hst of fifty lichens belonging to the Pcrtuguese fit ra, wdth an additional list 

 of a hundred others for which merely localities are given. The list includes new 

 species in Omphalaria, Lecanora (2), and Lecidea; the details of these species are 

 figured in the text. 



Monsieur A. Luisier^ continues the series of notes on the mosses of Portugal 

 that has already been noticed in these pages. Note eleven is a list of some fifty 

 species of pleurocarpous mosses, with localities; note twelve, a two page article 

 upon Anacolia Webbii (Mont.) Schimp. The last note of the series describes 

 and figures two new species, Didymodon Soaresi Luis., and Tortula Abranchesi 

 Luis., both from near Salamanca. 



In an interesting paper Mr. H. N. Dixon^ has recently described the mosses 

 which were collected by the Rev. C. H. Binstead in British North Borneo. Criti- 

 cal notes are given upon nearly all the species, and attention is called to the large 

 proportion of the collection which belongs to the two genera Calymperes and 

 Syrrhopodon. The collections seem to emphasize the relationship of the Bornean 

 mosses both to the Indo-Maylayan flora and, on the other hand, to that of New 

 Guinea. {See list of new species in review by Dr. Holzinger, pp. 94, 95, this 

 issue.] E. B. C.
