and are now in safe keeping at Kew. Taylor, in Mackay’s “Flora Hibernica,” 
gives Miss Hutchins as the collector of eleven rare mosses in Ireland. In Braith- 
waite’s “British Moss Flora” are several records of mosses collected by Miss 
Hutchins at “Belfast” and in the “North of Ireland,” in the year 1801.

FURTHER NOTES ON JAGERINOPSIS, BROTH. 
E. G. Britton 
Through the kindness of M. I. Theriot, we have received a specimen of 
Jagerinopsis scariosa (Lor.) Broth., named by Brotherus, and collected by Don 
Jimenez at Alajuela, Costa Rica, in January, 1910. In a letter dated August 28, 
M. Theriot states that, judging from the figures in the Bryologist 1 , J. scariosa 
differs from J. squarrosa in having its leaves less spreading, the veins more often 
double (though occasionally a leaf has a simple vein), the cells more lax at the 
summit of the leaves; but the sum total of these characters is very slight. The 
specimens that he sends bear out these statements, but it may be added that 
the plants are coarser and larger, resembling much more closely J. brasiliense 
(Mitt.) Broth.; the leaves are larger and broader than in J. squarrosa E. G. B., 
much more glossy, and the apical cells longer and narrower and much less porose. 
The alar cells are very similar in both these species and are less thickened and 
not yellow in color as they are in J. Brasiliense and J. TJlei (C. M.) Broth. The 
costa seems to be variable in all of them. It must be remembered that no fruit 
has been found on any of these species except J. Ulei , as far as we are aware, 
and it is possible that fruiting plants may show other differences than those 
at present known. According to Brotherus, 2 J. Ulei has a very peculiar peri- 
stome, with short lanceolate thickened teeth, varying in length, and having 
irregular projections on each joint. The capsules are borne on short stalks 
from lateral buds above the middle of the stems, and the perichaetial leaves 
are longer and narrower, with more acuminate points. We hope the fruit of 
J. squarrosa may soon be found either in Florida or in Cuba.

“CHAT UBINSKIA” A FURTHER CORRECTION 
H. N. Dixon 
“Chatubinskia, Rehmann." A still further correction is necessary in 
regard to this. The name is cited in a Kew Bulletin note from T. R. Sim’s “ Hand- 
book of the Bryophyta of South Africa,” where the name is given as above. 
But the name should properly be “Chalubinskia.” It is given in honor of 
Prof. Tytus Chalubinskia, of Warsaw, author of “Grimmiae Tatrenses” (War-
