operculate, it will generally be found to show six slightly elevated, nar- 
row ribs, with no furrows between ; before this it goes through a stage 
when there are no visible ribs on the surface, and it is quite terete, while 
in a still younger state and when semi-translucent, the ribs may be 
made out faintly by the aid of a strong transmitted light.

Iyarpadi, Anaimalai Hills, alt. 4,000 ft., on a bank. leg. Fischer, 
c. fr. (n. 3266). P. Tegsmannian urn is placed by Brotherus in a Section 
with those species having the la me 1 he with 3-4 rows of cells ; while 
Mr. Fischer's moss has 0-7. I find however Javan specimens in the 
Brit. Museum collection that have 5-6 and perhaps 7 rows of cells, 
and with these no. 3266 agrees exactly.

st. (n. 23)“-a fine, robust form, Fleischer has reduced P. ceylanicum 
Thw. and Mitt, to this species. It may be noted that Mitten in his 
description of that plant in describing the cells writes “ basalibus nullis 
diversiformibus V s I find the alar cells well differentiated and of a deep 
orange colour in the plant here recorded, as also in a specimen collected 
in Ceylon by Miss Bamforth, and determined (as Pterohryum ceylanicum 
Thw. and Mitt.) by Brotherus; and this agrees precisely with a specimen 
of Endotrichum ai/rantium in the British Museum collection, I be- 
lieve from C. Muller's herbarium.
