and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
2420. Hymenostomum. From vfjt^'/iv, a membrane, and s'ofjt-a,, a mouth. This genus differs from the last in 
having a membrane stretched across the orifice of the theca, a character first discovered by Mr. Brown. 
Minute plants, with the habit of Gymnostomum. 
2221. Tetraphis. The peculiar character of this genus is to have four teeth (tst§«, four). The lid in the 
only known species of this genus is remarkably thin and scariose in texture, and the teeth are reticulated, not 
striated as in most mosses. The calyptra is striated or furrowed j the leaves are rigid.
