1. H 3 rmenophyllum recurvum; frondibus bipinnatis (6-8-poliic.), pinnis elongato-recur- 
vatis, pinnulis dichotomo-pinnatifidis, laciniis simplicibus elongatis integris, soris supra 
axillaribus solitariis, indusiis ovatis (latissimis), rachi stipiteque alatis, caudice filiformi 
repente. Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. p. 376. 
Colour, a pale delicate green. 
2. Hymenophyllum lanceolatum^ fronde lanceolata (3-pollic. badia) pinnata, pinnis 
ovato-Ianceolatis bipinnatifidis, laciniis linearibus obtusis erecto-patentibus marginibus 
pilosis, pilis erectis simplicibus solitariis vel subfasciculatis, stipite terete hirsuto, rachi su- 
perne alata, indusiis subrotundis compressis longe ciliatis lacinias laterales terminantibus. 
Tills is distinguished by its dark brown colour, the lanceolate circumscription of the frond, with erecto- 
patent divisions, fringed with upright hairs, and the ciliated, nearly orbicular, indusia. 
3. Hymenophyllum obtusum; frondibus c^spitosis oblongis obtusissimis tripinnatifidis, 
laciniis (approximatis) linearibus erecto-patentibus, costa marginibusque pilis longis stellatis 
obsitis, stipite gracillimo hirto, indusiis (in laciniis supremis) terminalibus orbicularibus 
pilis ramosis dense ciliatis. 
This may be known from H. hirmtum by the longer branched or stellated hairs, which are confined 
wholly to the midrib and margin. The ultimate lacinise are somewhat corymbose, generally reaching to the 
same height, so as to give almost a truncated appearance to the outline of the frond.

1. Octoblepharum alhidum. Hedw. 
1. Thysanomitrion MMWtowm Arn. — Schwaegr. 
This has no fruit, and we are doubtful, in consequence, of the species.

3. Hypnum Sandvicense; ramis pinnatis, foliis distichis teneris nitidis ovato-lanceolatis 
falcato-secundis acuminatis concavis undique serrulatis, nervo brevissimo obscuro, capsula 
brevi-ovata cernua, calyptra juniore apice pilosa. 
This is a small delicate species, in some respects allied to H. elegans. Muse. Exot, and in others to H. 
circinale, but differing by the characters above given. 
Some other of the Hypnoid family are in the Collection, but without fructification, and although pro- 
bably new species, yet in too imperfect a state to allow us to describe them in a satisfactory manner. — The 
same may be said of some of the next Order, the Hepatiem. “
