REPORT ON THE MOSSES 
28. ffiacrottiamnium Fleisch. 
35* macrotliamnium niacrwurintjai (Kemw. ® Hornsch.) Fleisch. 
On fallen trunk, south face of Bapu, alt. 3,800 ft., c. fr. (n. 36633). 
On decaying trunks on the ground, Dear the top of Bapu., alt. 5,400 ft., 
c. fr. (n. 36544). 
Both these are slender forms, probably referable to M. pseudo- 
striatum (C. M.) Fleisch. ; but I am quite unable to detect any characters 
sufficient to warrant its separation from M. nacrocarpum, and M. 
Cardot shares this opinion with me. Fleischer retains it as separate, but 
has not indicated any distinguishing characters (Hedw. XLIV, 307). 
It is represented in Mitten's herbarium, but in ietters which I have 
received from him he appears to have thought of it as only a more slender 
form of M. macrocar pum, as his note on the species (Muse. Ind. or. 
p. 114) also indicates. The distribution of M. pseudo-striatum, it may 
be noted, is identical practically with that of M. macrocar pum. 
29, Campylium Bryhn, 
30. Campylium glaucocarpon (Reinw.) Broth. 
Syn. Stereodon glaucocarpus Mitt. Muse. Ind. or. p. 115. 
On tree trunks, particularly on loose flakes of bark standing out 
from the trunk, Janak stream, o. fr. (n. 37303). 
The specimen is in young and good fruit, and shows well the 
remarkable ocesious waxy excretion on the capsulv and summit of the 
seta, 
30, Eetropothecium Mitt. 
37. Ectropothecium cyperoides (Hook.) Jaeg. 
Syn. Stereodon cyperoides Mitt. Muse. Ind. or. p. 99. 
On upper rocks of river bank, Janakmukh, o f fr. (n. 37161). On 
tree trunks, Janak stream, c. fr. (n. 37302). 
JE. cyperoides is a highly variable plant, as Mitten has pointed out 
(1. c.) ; but I am quite in agreement with M, Cardot, who has 
expressed the opinion to me in letters, that it will not include the J avan 
moss figured in Bry. jav. II, t. 294. I have examined carefully the 
original plants of Harvey' s and others in Hooker's herbarium, and while 
finding there all the variation in leaf-form mentioned by Mitten, I find 
no forms . with the leaves so shortly and widely pointed as figured in 
the Bry. jav., while the areolation there depicted is ot quite a* different 
character from that of E. cyperoides , in all forms ot which it is extremely 
narrow, linear-vermicular, with a single marginal row usually very
