Abstract of Novitas Bryologici. — U 
Cooke and Massee in Grevillea, and Gyorffy in The Bryologist have noted 
the presence of parasitic fungi in the capsules of different species of mosses. 
During the paot ten years Dr. Gyorffy himself has found Cladosporium herbarum 
infesting the capsules of six other species, as listed above, and has published 
results. Among the material given Dr. Gyorffy by Dr. Brotherus there was a 
specimen of Campylopus introflexus from Tasmania whose peristome contained 
conidia of the same fungus. The determination of the latter was confirmed by 
Dr. G. Moesz, of Buda-Pesth. Immaturity would have rendered determination 
difficult had not the hyphae agreed absolutely with those of C. herbarum. The 
figure shows the capsules of Campylopus infested with the fungus. (E.B.C.)
