BOTANY OF KERGUELEN ISLAND. 
III. Uepaticce. 
By William Mitten, A.L.S. 
Nine species of Jungermannia and one JIarcliaut'ia, nerc gathered by Dr. 
Hooker. These were arranged in 6 genera, and 6 of the species were described 
as new, the remainder being similar to species found elsewhere ; none of the species 
were especially remarkable. Mr. Moseley collected at the time of the “ Challenger’s ” 
stay 12 species, 7 of which were different from those obtained by Dr. Hooker, 
and 6 genera were also added to the flora. Fourteen species were found by 
Mr. Eaton ; of these 8 species and 2 genera were additional to those previously 
known, bringing the whole number of the Ilepaticw up to 25. 
The RepaticcB of Kerguelen are allied most nearly to those of the Auckland and 
Campbell’s Islands, and of Fuegia. 
Noteroclada porphyrorUza, LeioscypMis pallens, and Teinnoma quadripartita, are 
found also in Fuegia. Jungermannia colorata, and Sympliyogyna podophylla, are 
found at the Cape of Good Hope. The former is, however, very widely distri- 
buted in austral regions. As with the mosses, it is remarkable how many addi- 
tions were made to the flora by the small numher of specimens obtained by each 
collector.

The specimens closely resemble those gathered by Dr. Hooker; it appears to be 
always a small species.
