apparently, is longer than the short seta; and it, with seta and beaked 
capsule is barely half as long as the perichaetial leaves. 
The teeth are correctly described in the Manual. 
The spores are smooth, pale yellow, 22-26// (not quite ripe). 
This is a beautiful species, at once known by its pale green color, the 
soft, tender leaves quite devoid of bairpoints, straight when moist, and 
bistratose lamina. It was collected in the summer of 1904, near Catala, 
Alaska, Mr. G. C. Britton, United States Commissioner at that place, and 
was communicated to me as No. 5, by Prof. J. B, Flett.

MUSCI ACROCARPI BOREALI-AMERICANI 
(Issued by Dr. J. M. Holzinger) 
A. J. Grout 
Numbers 25 1-275 have just been received from Prof. Holzinger. There 
are a number of good things such as Bryum Oreganum Sulliv., from 
Washington; Dici'anoweisia contermina Ren. & Card., from Washington; 
Dicranum Bei^geri ioxma. coinpacta Best, from North Carolina; Didyniodon 
Jiexifolius (Dicks.) Houk. & Taylor, from North Carolina, (this is new to 
North America) ; Nanomit 7 '-ium Anstinii (Sulliv.) Lindb. , from Connecticut; 
Oligot^'ichiim parallelum (Mitt.) Kindb. , from Washington; Polytrichtnn 
se.xangiilare Floerke, from Washington; Systegium Ludovicianimi .) 
Jaeg. , from Louisiana, and Trichostomum flavovirens Bruch., from North 
Carolina. 
The wide range from which the specimens come and the novelty of some 
of the numbers make this one of the most interesting of the fascicles thus 
far issued, and no collection will be complete without Prof. Holzinger’s 
mosses. 
Nine numbers from Europe make us wonder if Atlantis has reappeared 
and the continents become reunited. New Dorp, New York.
