 Hypnum Jamesii {Svll.) Lesq. & Jas. is a true Hypnum of the Stereodon 

 section, related to and probably the same as H. pallescens (Hedw.) Br. & Sch. 

 But there is still some doubt as the synonymy of this species as will be seen 

 in the diverse usage between Limpricht and Kindberg. 



Raphidostegium subadnatum CM. & Kindb. equals H. reptile, Michx.

Raphidostegium subdemissum Kindb. was described from sterile speci- 

 mens from Alaska, which do not belong to this genus.

 tion, but this combination had already been made by Kindberg, (Bryin. Eu. 

 & N. A. I: 64. 1897) and also by Renauld and Cardot in 1900 in Heller's 

 Plants of Porto Rico, (nos. 4356 and 4496.). Dr. Grout has furnished me with
