Waghorne), Alaska (Wm. Trelease). Recorded from Montana by Carolyn 
W. Harris. Dr. Wainio’s distribution adds Greenland, North Carolina and 
California. Thus the variety seems to be as widely distributed in North 
America as the species, but it is much less common in most localities. Its 
foreign distribution is also the same as the species. 
Cladonia coccifera ochrocarpia Flk. in Sommerf. Suppl. FI. Lapp. 128. 
1826. Apothecia yellow, the podetia without soredia. 
Recorded by H. Willey from Massachusetts. Found also in Europe. 
The plant is little known and is easily confused with Cladonia pyxidata 
on account of its yellow apothecia. Also easily mistaken for Cladonia 
carneola, but this always has podetia sorediate toward the top. The plant 
may be distinguished from Cladonia pyxidata by a careful comparison of 
the primary thallus. Doubtless to be found elsewhere in North America

Parts 227 and 228 of Engler and Prantl, Die natiirlichen Pflanzenfami- 
lien by Brotherus were received in April, 1907. They include the Lembo- 
phyllaceae , Entodontaceae, Fabroniaceae, Pilotrichaceae , Nematoceae and 
Hookeriaceae. Thirty-five genera known to occur in North America, Central 
America and the West Indies, with one hundred and ninety-nine species, are 
listed 
Isothecium Brid. includes four North American species following Cardot 
and Grout. Orthothecium Br. & Sch., three species. Entodon , twenty-seven 
species, eight North American. Platygyrium Br. & Sch., one species, P. 
repens. Pylaisia Br. & Sch., six species, four North American. Triptero- 
cladium (C. M.) Kindb. with three species. Pterygynandrum Hedw. with 
two species. Stereophyllum Mitt, with nine species, only one North Ameri- 
can. N. Donne llii (Aust.) R. & C. is omitted, probably by mistake. 
Austinia C. M., dedicated to Coe Finch Austin, is included with one 
Cuban species. Fabronia Raddi includes nine species of which four are North 
American. Anacamptodon Brid., two species, one West Indian. Schwetsch- 
kea C, Mull., one species, S. denticulata (Sull.) Card. Helicodontium 
Schwaegr. 1824. ( Myrinia Schimp. 1866) to include H. Dieckii (Ren. & Card.) 
Broth, from Oregon and three other American species. Clasmatodon Hook. 
& Wils. with one species. C. parvulus (Hpe.) Sull Habrodon Schimp. with 
H. perpusillus (De Not ) Lindb. ( H . Notarisii Schimp. 
The greatest number of changes occur in the Pfookeriaceae, which are 
split up into thirteen genera, only three of which contain North American 
species: Cyclodictyon varians (Sull.) Broth, replaces H. varians Sull. Cal- 
licostella cruceana (Dub.) Jaeg. replaces H. cruceana Duby. Hookeria Sm. 
is restricted to five species, and Pterygophyllum lucens is replaced by H. 
lucens(L.) Sm., which is congeneric with H. Sullivantii from North America
