NEW ARRANGEMENT OF 
which we have however not seen, has been described by 
SrnENGEL in his " Neue Entdeckungen." 
The principal alterations made in this genus, since 
ScHw^GRicHEN published the Supplement, consist in the 
rejection of J. setosum^ hnlbositm^ planifolium^ and cirrlio- 
sum. The first, as a Neckera^ and the second as a HooJceria, 
have been beautifully delineated by Dr Hooker in his 
Musci Exotici, which may be consulted for further in- 
formation. A. planifolium is still undecided, and from not 
having been seen by Schw^grichen, is probably not in 
Hedwig's Herbarium. It appears not to dilFer materially 
from Hypnum aciculare, as Schw.^grichen himself con- 
jectures ; and there is little doubt of its having a double 
peristome. As to A. cirrhosum, it is most wretchedly 
figured in the Species Muscorum ; but has, in the second 
part of the first Supplement, been called a ScJdotheimia. 
Brtdel also coincides in this. Weber and Mohr in their 
Synopsis Muscorum make it a Ulota. We regard it as 
an Ortlwtrkhum *, thinking that Schlotheimia, Ulota, and 
Macromitrion, do not essentially differ from that genus.

* We allude here to a plant which is not uncommon in herbaria in this 
country, under Hed wig's name. This has very long leaves, serrated towards 
their extremity. But is this really Hedwig's plant? We must trust to 
ScHWiEGRicHEN, and the German muscologists, for information. We also 
possess another, perhaps more likely to be the true A. cirrhosum^ as it has en- 
tire leaves ; this, again, we consider only a variety of OrtL pallidzm, (P, B.)
