leaf, and hence form neither a distinctly marked nor an obliquely ascend- 
ing band ; the cells too seem to be all of one character, rectangular 
throughout, while in the present case the upper cells of the expanded part 
are obliquely rhomboid, chlorophyllose and obscure, thus rendering still 
more pronounced the delimitation of the border cells. C. snbfragilis is 
still smaller and more delicate than G. gracilis.

Shembaganur, Madura, leg. Qucste, st. (n. 20). This plant 
shows some difference in its areolation from that presented by 
most specimens of C, lositt's, the upper cells being subquadrate, 
the alar cells smaller, more numerous and more highly coloured ; 
the upper areolation in G. Icetus being, frequently at least, 
obliquely oval or oval-rhomboid. The type of G. Icetus is Hooker’s 
Khasian plant (No. 84), which I have examined at the British 
Museum. The upper areolhtion there, while mostly of the oblique, 
rhomboidal form, varies a J good deal and the cells are frequently quite 
irregular in outline , in the Madura plant they are equally variable, and 
in some leaves are quite identical with some of the leaves of the type. 
The habit in the tyne specimen is somewhat more rigid, but other 
specimens, including Some at Kew probably determined by Mitten, are 
identical in this respect. Altogether I have no hesitation in referring 
the Madura j^ant to G. Icetus . 
I have also received it from Mahableshwar, Western Ghats, leg. 
Sedgwick, 1909, st. (n. 39), a shorter, more rigid form, more exactly 
recalling the habit of the Nepal plant.

In an article published in the Journal of Botany (1909, p. 158), I 
recorded Fissidens ( Sem i-l i m b id ium ) Walkeri Broth, as collected by 
Sedgwick at Walwa, Kistna River, 1908, mentioning that it showed a 
slight difference from Brotherus'’ description. A further specimen of 
what was evidently the same moss was sent later from Waishakhan 
Western Ghats, leg. Sedgwick, 1909 (n. 29), differing, however, in
