might be hybrids or that the two genera belong together, though he is convinced 
that Molendoa lies closer to Hymenostylium than to Anoectangtum, in which its 
species have frequently been placed. No one is at present likely to dispute 
this last contention, but the species have not yet been distributed clearly and 
finally among the three genera and all too many species of both Hymenostylium 
and Ancectangium have been and are still being described. It is to be hoped and 
expected that Gyorffy's monograph will cast a beam ot light into this very dark 
region of the moss-system.

W. E. Nicholson. — Southhya nigrella (DeNot.) Spr. in Britain. (Journ. 
Bot. 60: 67-69. 1922.) — This Mediterranean species was found by the author 
^n a disused quarry at Portland, Dorsetsh. A detailed description and comparative 
remarks are appended. 
IsTVAN Gyorffy. — Miscellanea hryologica Hungarica. I-V. (Botanikai 
Kozlemenyek. 1920. xix. pp. 7-16. PI.) — The article, which is in Hungarian, 
reports the occurrence of Cladosporium herbarum on several species of mosses 
from Hungary; describes and figures the role played by the waxy secretion in 
Saelania caesia Lind. ; reports new localities ior A ulacomnium turgidum Schwaegr. 
Conostomum tetragonum Lindb., and Bucegia romamca Rad. in the Tatra. 
Ch. Meylan. — Nouvelles contributions d la flore bryologique du Jura. 
(Revue bryologique 48: 1-5. 1921.) — A record dealing with some 30 species 
for which new localities are announced in the Jura. A new form (/. strtcta)) is 
proposed for Neckera crispa, and Thuidium abietinum var. paludosum proposed 
as new, 
Ch. Meylan. — Une variete nouvelle de Scorpidium scorpioides. (Revue 
bryologique 48: 5. 1921.) — Scorpidium scorpioides var. cuspidatum Mey. from 
Switzerland is proposed as new. 
R. Potier de la Varde. — Observations sur quelques especes du genre Fissi- 
dens. VI. A propos du Fissidens Mildeanus Schp. (Revue bryologique 48: 5-9. 
fig. 1-3. 192 1.) — The author collected Fissidens Mildeanus in La Manche, and 
found specimens bearing the bulb-like hairs among the paraphyses and the 
rhizoids which Limpricht describes. These bodies the author considers propagula. 
R. Potier de la Varde. — Hildebrandtiella Soulii Broth, et P. de la V. (Revue 
bryologique 48: 9-1 1 fig. i-J. 192 1.) — A description and figure of a new species 
from the Tanganika region, Africa, with a list of six other forms from the same 
region. Also the author notes that the name Weissia viridula var. longifolia 
Ther. et P. de la V. should be changed to var. macrophylla on account of earlier 
homonym.
