the author having seen neither the calyptra nor the lid, and having been 

 unable to ascertain the existence or absence of a peristome. Therefore, we 

 here give a complete description with drawings of this interesting moss, 

 which by the absence of the peristrome and chiefly by the structure of its 

 leaves, which, except on the borders, consist of two layers of cells, seems to 

 us to constitute a genus distinct from Atrichum. 



Note 2, p. 347. In a recent paper in " The Journal of Botany," Vol. 39, 

 PP- 339-34i» Mr. E. S. Salmon points out that Bartramiopsis Lescurii has 

 the same leaf structure as Lye Ilia crispa, and he suggests placing it in this 

 genus. But Bartramiopsis differs from Lyellia by its small, erect, sym- 

 metrical not angular and macrostomate capsule, and it seems preferable to 

 keep it as a distinct genus.
