NOTES ON A COLONY OF HEPATICS FOUND ASSOCIATED ON A 
DEAD FUNGUS. 
Caroline Coventry Haynes. 
(The fungus was exhibited, with original drawings to illustrate, at meeting of the Sulli- 
vant Moss Chapter, Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 31, 1904.) 
The fungus Fames fomentarius blackened and sodden, was found while 
collecting in the Adirondacks on the Adirondack League Club Tract, attached 
to a decayed log, once a yellow birch, lying in a bog ; it caught and held the 
moisture and the hepatics and mosses found growing upon it testified to its 
desirability as a residence, from their standpoint, quite as they would have 
done had it been their usual habitat. It was an interesting task to examine 
it carefully, mounting specimens and determining the ten species found 
growing upon it, the majority of them moisture loving. 
There were a few plants of Scapania curta (Mart.) Dumort., a quite rare 
species, the finding of which is always a delight. Of the three Cephalozias: 
C. curvifolia (Dicks.) Dumort. is easily recognizable with a hand-lens, tiny as 
it is, the clearest three-angled perianths, and the saccate leaves, with claw- 
like lobes, are quite unlike anything else: C. lunulcefolia Dumort. equals C. 
media Lindb., while resembling C. connivens (Dicks.) Lindb., has smaller 
leaf cells and the perianth mouth is short ciliate, that of C. connivens , long 
ciliate: C. serrifiora Lindb., has usually been known in this country under 
the names C. catennlata Spruce and C. Virginiana Spruce. C. Virgin- 
iana is no\y regarded by Dr. Evans as being “scarcely distinct” from C. 
catenulata. In his “Notes on New England Hepaticse” Rhodora, Vol. 6. 
1904. p. 173, Dr. Evans makes clear several facts regarding this species that 
Lindberg called C. serrifiora , and he, like Dr. Evans, follows Jack and
