MUSCI. — W. MITTEN.

In extensive tufts, with stems from 3-4 indies high, and fulvous green foliage, 
hecoming wdien older, hrown. 
So far as can he seen from the small specimen in the Hookerian Herbarium of 
Cecalyplnini dichotomum, it appears to he the same as the Kerguelen moss, as it was 
considered hy Mr. AVilson. The chief distinction ascribed to D. kerguelense is to 
have the nerve vanishing towards the narrow flat point, and not as in D. dichotomtini 
to have the nerve continued into the point and dentate on the back. 
1. Campy lopus cavifolius, Mitt. Muse. Austr. Amer. 87. 
Kerguelen Island, in dense tufts, barren, Moseley. By some error this Avas 
enumerated in the Linn. Soc. Journal as G. appressifolius. 
1. Ceratodon purpureus, Limi. Sp. Fl. 1575 (Mnium). 
Ilah.— Boyal Sound and near Swain’s Bay, in a dark purple almost blackened 
state, all barren, Eaton. (Heard Island, Moseley.) 
This moss appears to he as common throughout the southern regions as it is in 
the northern. The southern states have generally a more robust appearance, but 
Avhen C. brasiliensis, Hampe, from Brazil, C. crassiuervis, Lorentz, from Valdivia, 
C. capensis, Schimp., from the Cape of Good Hope, and C. convolutus, Beichardt, 
from New Zealand, are compared side by side, the conclusion seems irresistible, that 
they are all forms of one species. 
1. Grimmia (Schistidium) apocarpa, Linn. Sp. Pi. 1579 (Bryum). 
Christmas Harbour, Hooker. Cat Island, Iloyal Sound, Eaton. 
A very small state ; all the specimens unlike European, hut not appearing to 
he really different. 
2. Grimmia (Sciiistidium) falcata, Hook. f. et Wils. El. Antarct. 401, 
t. 151,/. 8. 
Christmas Harbour, on rocks and stones near a waterfall. Hooker. 
This is cither an aquatic species or an aquatic form of a species of which the 
form corresponding to rupestral states of G. apocarpa is unknoAvn. 
3. Grimmia insularis, Mitt, in Joimi. Linn. Soc. XV., 73. 
Heard Island, Moseley. 
4. Grimmia (Eugrimaiia) Kidderi, James in Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 3, p. 25. 
Near SAvain’s Bay, Eaton. 
In small dense black cushions. Stems 3-4 lines high, with a few branches near 
the base, made up of repeated innovations from the base of the male flow'er, con- 
sisting of closely set widely oA'atc leaves, wdthout diaphanous points, including 
a fcAV antheridia. Leaves very small, canaliculate, margins erect, terminated by a 
short, nearly smooth hyaline point. 
This ambiguous moss may he conjectured to represent a species near to the 
European G. montana. 
5. Grimmia (Dryptodon) chlorocarpa, B7'id., Mitt, in Hook. f. Handb. 
New Zealand EL, II., 426 (sub Bhacomitrium crispulum).
