76 REPORT ON THE MOSSES COLLECTED BY MR. C. E. C. FISCHER 
I have included this plant in the present report, on account of its 
geographical relationships. L. Walkeri was described by Brotherus in this 
publication (Volume I, 1899 ; Contrib. to the Bryol. Flora of 
S. India, p. 813), from South Coorg, leg. Dr. Walker. The seta is 
described as “ 6 mm c alta/’ the capsule as ‘c. P5 mm., anguste subcylindri- 
ca/ Meebold’s plant agrees precisely with L t Walkeri as to the 
gametophyte, the longer seta and capsule being the only differentiating 
characters observable. It seems undesirable therefore to consider the two 
plants specifically distinct. Herzog (in lied wig. L., 121) has published 
an allied species, L. Herzogii Broth., allied to L. Walkeri^ only differing 
in certain vegetative characters (leaves subsecund, entire, border stronger 
and reaching higher in the leaf) ; but the fruit has not been found. 
Walkeri also occurs in Mitten’s herbarium from Moulmein, Burma, 
leg e Parish (n. 32), under the herbarium name L. erosum, 
3. Campy lopus Brid.

This species belongs to the small Section or Subgenus Pseudo- 
campy lopus distinguished by the absence of stereid cells from the nerve, 
which shows in section usually two ventral series of large, empty cells, and 
one or two (in this case usually two) series of smaller cells, less thin- walled 
but not incrassate nor sub-stereid, and moderately large. Its only rear 
Indian allies are C. gracilis (Mitt.) and C. snbfragilis Ren. and Card. It 
is without doubt nearly allied to the former, but seems to be well marked 
in the much more robust habit, dark colour, more rigid stems and leaves ; 
and the clearly defined band of narrow pellucid marginal cells, extending 
outwards and upwards for a considerable height in the leaf, appears a 
good character; the marginal cells in C. gracilis are similar, but they pass 
gradually into the juxta-costal cells both at the base and higher up in the
