collapsing wlien dry, composed of rounded cells which at first contain small round 
granules that disappear in the older leayes. Stipules line long, the one imme- 
diately under the perianth is small and easily overlooked. Perianth compressed. 
No capsuliferous stems have been seen. 
It appears that in this species, and in some others of the same genus, the 
compressed truncate perianth is the result of the small size of the involucral stipule, 
which in the coalescence of the leaves of which the perianth is theoretically formed, 
is too small to affect its form, the reverse of which is so evident in the perianth of 
Lopliocolea.

1. Lophocolea pallidovirens, RooTc. f. et Tayl. FI. Antarct. 439, t. 159, 
t. 9. 
Kerguelen Island, Moseley. Near Vulcan Cove, barren, Raton. (Fuegia). 
2. Lophocolea Novae Zealandiae, Lehm. et Lindenh. (Jungermannia). 
Royal Sound, fragments amongst Ritrichum RooJeeri. Ilill N.W. of Mount 
Crozier, with young perianths, Eaton. (New Zealand and Lord Auckland’s group). 
3. Lophocolea humifusa, Rook.f. et. Tayl. FI. Antarct. 436, t. 159, f. v. 
Christmas Ilarbour, Rooker ; near Observatory Bay, barren, Eaton. 
The specimens are pale yellowish green, and seem not different from L. Udentata, 
with which it agrees in perianth. 
1. Teinnoma quadripartita. Rook. Muse. Exot. 117 (Jungermannia). 
Kerguelen Island, a few small fragments, Moseley. Gathered also amongst 
Ricrana at Christmas Ilarbour by Rooker. 
1. Jungermannia cylindriformis, Mitt, in Journ. Finn. Soo. xv. Exilis. 
Caulis prooumbens, ascendens, subsimplex, vix radicans. Folia subalterna, antice 
incurva, oblongo-ovalia, obtusa, sinu parvo ohtuso obtuse bidentata, dentibus smpe 
conniventer incurvis ; involucraha minora, acute bidentata vel cauUnis conformia. 
Perianthium elongatum, cylindraceum, obtusum, apice plicatum. 
Royal Sound, in very small quantity with perianths amongst Ritriclmm Rooheri, 
and hill N.W. of Mount Crozier, with Scapania clandestina, Eaton. 
Stems about 2 lines long. Leaves | line long, brownish green. Perianth 1 line 
long, of the same colour as the leaves. This minute plant is nearly related to J. 
infiata, Uuds., having the same cylindrical perianth, and involucral leaves not much 
different from those of the stem, which are the characters of the genus Gymnocolea, 
Dumort, which comprises besides the European J. infiata, and the J. tiirlinata, 
Raddi.
