author has in mind a revision of the New Caledonian moss-flora, estimated at 
500 species. The article describes Holomttrium Francei Ther. and, with short 
description, notes occurrence of Trematodon paucifloru's CM. 
I. Theriot. — Une rectification a propos du Slereodon lignicola Mitt. (Revue 
bryologique 47: 71 — 72. 1920.) — The author concludes that Mitten accidentally 
described the fruit of Stereodon lignicola from a StereophyUum mixed with the 
type specimen. A corrected description is given. 
G. DiSMiER. — Notes sur les Fisstdens serrulaius Brid., et Fissidens poly- 
phyllus Wils. (Rev. bryol. 47: 54 — 56. 1920). — The author decides that these 
two species may easily be separated upon morphological bases, by following 
the principles laid down in 1889 by Bottini, whose work, of which a resume is 
given, seems little known. 
R. DouiN. — Recherches sur les Marchantiaees. (Revue generale de botanique 
1920). — A short .abstract of this work appears in the Revue bryologique 47: 
58 — 60, quoting M. Douin's proposed classification. 
Alexander W. Evans. — Abruzzi Hepaticae. (Revue bryol. 47: 57 — 58). 
1920. — This is a list of 14 species from the vicinity of Lago di Scanno. 
Alexander W. Evans. — Taxilejeunea pterogonia and certain allied species. 
(Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 48: 107 — 136. pi. 2, and figs 1-22. 192 1). — This is 
an exhaustive discussion of Taxilejeunea pterogonia (L. & L.) Schififn., T. jamai- 
censis Evans. T. densiflora Evans, and T. debilis (L. & L.) Steph., the second 
and third being proposed as new. All but the last species mentioned are figured. 
PoTiER de la Varde. — Contribution d la fiote bryologique du Kikouyou. 
(Rev. bryol. 47: 49 — 54. figs 1—6. 1920). — The mosses here treated were 
collected near Nairobi, British East Africa. Twenty-eight species or varieties 
are included of which 5 species and 3 varieties are proposed as new. 
W. H. Pearson. — Notes on a collection of hepatics from the Cameroons 
West coast of Africa. (Mem. & Proc. Manchester Lit. & Phil. Soc. 65: i — 6. 
pis. 1-2. 1921). The material studied was collected from ebony logs imported 
to the Liverpool docks with the addition of a single collection made on the 
Gold Coast. Five species are listed, two others being determined only generi- 
cally. Of these Aneura Travisiana Pears., and Ceratolejeunea Saxbyi Pears., 
are proposed as new and figured. 
The last issue of the Revue of the Revue bryologique (Nrs. 5-6, 47th year, 
1920, though published in 1921) contains this disquieting but courageous an- 
nouncement. "C'est le dernier numero de I'annee. Le nombre des abonnes 
etait, avant la guerre, de 130 a 140, il n'est plus que 81, insufificiant pour payer 
les frais de la Revue, meme reduite a 5 numeros. La publication VA 
CONTINUER."
