The inflorescence, T\hich is usually synoicous in capsuliferous flowers, is some- 
times accompanied hy unisexual flowers upon the same stem. 
6. Bryum (Eocremothecium) Eatoni, MUt. in Journ. Linn. Soc., xv., p. 195. 
Synoicum. Caulis humilis, gracilis, innovationibus infra comalibus paucis ramosus. 
Eolia erecto-patentia, inferiora minora, superiora elliptico-lanceolata, nervo in 
acumen tenue Imvc vel denticulis paucis asperum excurrente, margine limbo tenui 
e seriebus cellularum elongatarum 4-5 composito anguste reflexo integerrima, collulis 
angustis limitibus teneris areolata ; folia oomalia longiora, basi subauriculato-dilatata, 
angulis rotundatis laxis areolatis. Seta elongata, recta, apicc anguste curvata. 
Theca pendula, sporangio ovato collo subsequilongo ; operculo depressc conico 
acuminulato ; peristomio parvo, dentibus pallidis subsubulatis, apice punctulatis, 
procossibus apice punctulatis ciliisque in unum angustissimum conflatis in mcm- 
brana usque ad dentiura longitudinis I exserta impositis, annulo triplici circumdato. 
Swain’s Bay and Royal Sound, with fruit ripened, Eaton. 
The very narrow leaves retain the same position in both the wet and dry state, 
they are narrower than observed in any form of J3. 'pendulum. 
Tain III. f. iv. ; 1, natural size ; 2, cauline loaf ; 3, leaf from perichmtium ; 4, 
capsule ; 5, portion of peristome ; all magnified. 
7. Bryum (Eccremothecium) bimum, Schreh. ; Bryol. Europ. t. 21. 
Christmas Harbour, Hooker. Near Swain’s Bay ; and Royal Sound, with ripe 
fruit. Eaton. 
The specimens vary in size, the stems in some being nearly three inches high, 
the lower leaves arc all blackened. 
8. Bryum (EccREMOTnEciuii) alpinum, Linn. 
Royal Sound, with shining red foliage ; and Swain’s Bay, all lian’en, Eaton. 
The rod-leaved specimens are exactly similar to those states of this species which 
are found in sub-alpine regions in Europe ; those states which are found in the 
plains have never the lustrous appearance which adorns this handsome moss. 
The small specimen from Swain’s Bay was mistaken for B. Icevigatum, Hook. f. 
et Wils. (also a Kerguelen species), to which in colour it has a groat resemblance, 
and the similarity was increased by the points of the upper leaves being broad and 
obtuse ; the lower leaves are, however, of the usual form. 
9. Bryum (EccREiioriiEcniM) argenteum, Linn. 
On sea cliffs near Observatory, barren, Eaton. 
A small silvery state with the leaf points not produced.
