These Lophozias have been illustrated in various publications, but for 
two reasons I have figured them again: for the student as a handy reference, 
as well as for the sake of showing their comparative size. One magnifica- 
tion having been used, namely, X 22 in all figures of plants; X 70 in all fig- 
ures of leaves; X 365 in all figures of cell structures. 
No. 1 appeared in The Bryologist for November, 1906. Three species 
figured on Plate IX. L. Marchica , L. bicrenata, L. excisa . Reproduced in 
January, 1907, as Plate III. with corrected magnifications. 
No. 2 in January, 1907. Five species figured on Plate II. L. Floerkii , L. 
lycopodioides , L. Lyoni , L. gracilis , L. barb at a. 
In conclusion, L. Kunzeana and L. Muelleri are given with L. porphy- 
roleuca added to the original selection. Figured on Plate I.

Hampshire ( W. G. Far low). Lophozia Kunzeana has a wide distribution 
in the alpine and arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, although it is 
rarely abundant in one locality. In North America it has already been 
recorded from Greenland, from several widely scattered stations in British 
America, and from the Adirondack Mountains of New York. It is, however, 
new to New England. Professor Farlow’s specimens represent a gemmipar- 
ous and rather slender form of the species. 
The leaves of L. Kunzeana vary in form from rotund to quadrate ; they 
are subequally bifid and tend to be complicate, although this condition is not 
always apparent. In rare cases there is a third lobe supplementary to one of 
the others. The sinus is narrow and extends to the middle or a little less. 
The divisions are typically rounded at the apex but are often obtusely 
pointed or, on slender branches, even acute. The leaf-cells have small but 
distinct trigones, and the cuticle is minutely verruculose or striate. The 
underleaves vary in size but can usually be demonstrated without much diffi- 
culty in spite of the numerous rhizoids. They are either subulate and long- 
acuminate or else deeply bifid with slender divisions. The gemmae when 
mature are thick-walled and angular: as a rule they are unicellular but are
