ovate and not deltoid. Specimens collected l)y Dr. Lyall in the Arctic regions at 
Beechy Island, correspond very nearly with the Kerguelen moss. 
3. Brachythecium paradoxum, Hook. f. et Wils. M. Antarct. 449, 
t. 155, f. 2. (Hypnum). 
Royal Sound, and Swain’s Bay, with mature fruit, Eaton. 
This species, which is found also in New Zealand and Ruegia, varies in size; the 
Kerguelen specimens are smaller than tliose from New Zealand ; its affinity is with 
the European B. velutinum (Linn.), which is sometimes seen with falcate leaves, 
and then presents an appearance very different from its more usual state. 
1. Psilopilum trich.od.on, Eook. et Wils. in Eook. Bond. Journ. Bot. 
vi. 289. (Polytrichum). 
Hill N.W. of Mount Crozier, with narrow capsules, Eaton. 
Originally described from the Andes of New Grenada, where it was found near 
the snow by Purdic ; it was afterwards gathered by Jameson in a similar situation 
in the Andes of Quito. 
Pogonatum alpinum, Bill. 
Swain’s Bay, with unripe fruit, Eaton. 
This species occurs also in Australia, and has been described as P. pseudo- 
alpinum (C. Muller, Bot. Zeit. 1856, 750), hut it is admitted that the southern 
specimens differ scarcely if at all from those of the boreal regions. 
[Cathaiuna comphessa, C. Mull. ; Polytr. compressum, Eook. f. et Wils., is 
enumerated amongst the United States Expedition collections.] 
1. Andrsea acuminata, Mitt. A. acutifolia, var. y, Mook.f. et Wils. El. 
Antarct. 390. 
Christmas Harbour, Ilooker. Kerguelen Island, with a few mature capsules, 
Moseley ; Royal Sound, rvithout fruit, Eaton. 
In the outline of its leaves this species resembles A. marginata, Hook. ill. et M ils. 
El. Antarct. 396, t. 151, f. 1., but the areolation of their upper portion is different, 
the cells being about of an inch long by s-^Vfr wide, those in the corresponding- 
portion of the leaves of A. marginata being about wide, and long. 
2. Andraea squarrosa, Mitt. Muse. Austr. Amer. 029. A. alpina var. 1, 
Hook.f. et Wils. Elor. Antarct. 395. 
Christmas Harbour, Ilooker. 
This species has the perichmtial leaves in the Kerguelen specimens of the same 
form as in those collected by Prof. J ameson in the Andes of Quito. 
[A. MARGINATA, Mook. f. et Wils. Flor. Antarct. 396, t. 161, fig. 1., has been 
found in Kerguelen Island by Kidder.]
