NOTES 



We need a number of short pithy articles, giving observations of interest, made 

 by our members. When you find a rare moss in a new station send us a short 

 note. When you notice an interesting abnormality, write it up. The Bryolo- 

 gist is much more technical and less popular than at first, but we would gladly pub- 

 lish more popular articles, especially short notes, if we had them. 



Plagiothecium geophilum (Aust.) Grout (Rhynchastegium geophilum 

 Aust.) is a little known and rarely collected moss that chapter members should 

 look out for. The leaves somewhat resemble those of Eurhynchium hians in 

 shape and serration, with many having a rather blunt apex, but the costa is short 

 and double and the plants inhabit moist soil and stones. It has been sent me 

 but once for determination, by Dr. H. S. Jewett from Yellow Springs, Ohio, 

 and .1 have collected it once, in a spring near Richmond, Staten Island.
