A. LuisiER. — Les Moiisse^ de Madere. (Broteria ser. Bot. 19; 73 — 96. 
192 1.) — This portion of the series of articles, of which note has already been 
made above, continues the keys to the mosses of the Atlantic Islands from Tortula 
(pars) to Webera sessilis. 
GuiLLERMO GXndara. — Acciofi de los hquenes i>obre otras plantas. (Revista 
mex. de biologia. 1: 215 — 220. 1921.) — The article is a refutation of state- 
ments appearing in two bulletins of the Estacion Agricola Central de Mexico 
concerning the structure, biology, and harmfulness of lichens. 
William Edward Nicholson. — New or rare British hepatics. (Journal of 
Botany 59: 202 — 204. 192 1.) — The author records the presence in Britain 
of Riccia Huehnenana Lindenb., Cephalozia spiniflora Schififn., and Cephaloziella 
elachtsta (Jack) SchifTn. var. spinigera (Lindb.) K. M., with notes on their re- 
lationships. The statement is made that the Cephalozia macrostachya Kaal. 
of SchifTner's Hep. Eur. Exs. No, 54Q and the plate under that name in Mac- 
Vicar's Handbook belong really to C. spiniflora. 
H. N. Dixon. — Miscellanea Bryologica. — VII. (Journal of Botany 59: 
132 — 139. 192 1.) — This is a collection of fifteen short notes, whose conclusions 
are given below. Sematophyllum pilotrichelloides Card. & Dixon is the same as 
Hypnum replicatum Hampe and should be called 5. replicalum (Hpe.) Dixon. 
Rigodium deniatum Dixon was originally collected in Cape Town, not Pretoria. 
The status of Eurhynchium mendionale de Not. as a British plant has recently 
been confirmed, while Tortula mermis (Brid.) Mont, and Didymodon ripanus 
(Aust.) Kindb. are not British. Discelium nudum Brid. has recently been found 
in Scotland, as well as a remarkable form of Dicranum fuscescens with erect 
fruit. The correct name for Ectropothecium australe Jaeg. is Isopterygium 
lineatum (H. f. & W.) Broth. Batbula apoclada Par. is superfluous, Mueller 
having previously changed his B. subrevoluta {non Hampe) to B. perrevoluta. 
Schweischkea usambarica Broth, posseses dorsal papillae, a character unique in 
the family. Cuming's No 22og from the Philippines is Myurium Foxworthyii 
(Broth.) Broth. Fontinalis antipyrettca L. from Cape Town is the first known 
occurrence in South Africa. Study of the Hermite Id. moss referred to Hypnum 
lithophilum Hsch. and called by Mueller H. secundifolium proves it to be a 
Drepanocladus. Comparison of specimens shows the identity of Neckera glosso- 
phylla Mitt, and Homaliodendron microdendron (Mont.) Fleisch.; also the identity 
with each other of Pinnaiella elegantissima (Mitt.)Fleisch. and P. Kuhliana 
(Bry. Jav.). Weissia oranica (Rehm.) C. M. is the correct citation for Gymnos- 
iomum oranicum Rehm., as shown by Holzinger. 
P. CuLMANN. — Muscinees speciales d VAuvergne. (Revue bryologique 47: 
^5 — 69. 1920.) — A criticism of Charbonnel's statement that there are 32 
bryophytes known form the Auvergne, not occurring elsewhere in France. 
Author maintains statement true for but 2 hepatics and 9 mosses. 
I. Th^riot. — Considerations sur la flat e bryologique de la Nouvelle Caledonie, 
et diagnoses d'especes nouvelles. (Revue bryologique 47: 69 — 71. 1920.) — The
