There are many notes upon species mentioned by Bescherelle in the Florule 
bryologique de la Nouvelle-Caledonie. 
P. CuLMANN. — Sur quelgues mousses d'Auvergne d peristome imparfait. 
(Revue bryologique 48: 17—22. 192 1.) — The article deals principally with 
Tortula ohtusifolia Schleich., Desmatodon arenaceus Sull. and Grimmia plagiopoda 
var, avernica (Phil.) Boul. The author finds that there are three forms of T. 
ohtusifolia in the Auvergne, one agreeing with Schwaegrichen 's figure, another 
(proposed as var. pilifera) with piliferous leaves and rudimentary peristome, 
the third with piliferous leaves and a well developed peristome. The author 
concludes that T. ohtusifolia is a subspecies of T. muralis and not related to the 
atrovirens-group. Comparisons of Desmatodon arenaceus made in course of the 
preceding study lead the author to consider Hagen in error in referring this 
plant to T. ohtusifolia, American material differing greatly in the peristome. 
The author considers D. arenaceus a good species and proposes the name Tortula 
arenacea. Author states that Loeske is in error on considering Grimmia plagiopoda 
avernica merely a piliferous form: material from the Auvergne differs constantly 
in possessing a rudimentary peristome. 
G. DiSMiER. — Localities nouvelles de Muscinees rares ou pen conjius en 
France. (Revue bryologique 48: 49—52. 192 1.) — A list with localities of 11 
hepatics and 38 mosses. 
G. DisMiER. — Ohservations sur le Didymodon cordatus Jur. (Revue bryo- 
ologique 48:52—53. 192 1.) — In noting new stations for Didymodon cordatus in 
southwest France, M. Dismier takes occasion to compare this species with D. 
luridus and D. rigidulus, concluding that it should be regarded as a subspecies 
of the latter. 
J. Amann. — Bryum turgescens Hagen et le Nr. jp/ des Musci Europaei de 
Bauer. (Revue brologique 48: 59-60. 1921.) — An examination of the material 
distributed by Bauer as well as material of the same collection in the Bryotheca 
helvetica indicates that the specimens do not represent the plant described by 
Hagen as Bryum turgescens, but rather slender states of B. neodamense Itzig. 
R. Henry. — Le Lophozia Kunzeana (Hiih.) E ans dans les Vosges et liste 
des muscinees recueillies au Honeck. (Revue bryologique 48: 60-62. 192 1.) 
— A list of 26 species, mosses and hepatics, with special note on the occurrence 
of the Lophozia mentioned in the title.
