io8 Salmon. — A Monograph of 
austro-americani ’ ( 14 ) in 1869, where two new species were 
also published, viz. N. latifolins , Mitt., and vS. setiferus , Mitt. 
In 1873 Jaeger ( 10 ) added as a var. prostrata to N. mnioides 
the plant from Chili published by Montagne in 1845 as 
Tortula prostrata. In 1876 Mitten ( 15 ) added to the genus 
vS. australis from Kerguelen Island. In 1879 Jaeger in the 
second volume of the c Adumbratio ’ (10) transferred to 
Streptopogon the Barbula crispata of Hampe (1876) (6), from 
Australia. In the same year Mitten ( 16 ) gave the name 
Streptopogon gemmascens to the moss previously described 
in Schimper’s ‘ Synopsis ’ as Didymodon flexifolius (Dicks.), 
Hook, and Tayl., var. gemmiferus . Muller ( 19 ), in 1882, 
published two new species, S. Rutenbergii and S'. Calym - 
peres , from Madagascar, and mentioned by name a third 
species, S', calymperoides , from Costa Rica. About the same 
time, also, M tiller gave the ms. name S. Hildebrandtii to 
a moss sent out under the number 2,098 in Hildebrandt’s 
‘Flora von Central Madagascar.’ In 1885 Bescherelle ( 1 ) 
referred doubtfully to the genus as S. ? mayottensis , a male 
and barren moss from the island of Mayotte. In 1888 the 
name S. Parkeri , Mitt, mss., appeared in Wright’s ‘ Mosses of 
Madagascar’ ( 34 ). In 1894 Muller described S. Schenckii , 
from Brasil, in Brotherus’s ‘ Musci Schenckiani ’ (21). In 1895 
Bescherelle in his ‘ Essai sur le genre Calymperes ’ ( 2 ) pointed 
out that Calymperes Lindigii , Hampe, was really a Strep to - 
pogon , and as the specific name was already in use in the 
present genus, gave the name 5 . Hampeanus to Hampe’s 
plant. In 1897 Muller ( 23 ) published as a new species 
N. bolivianus from Bolivia ; and Paris in the ‘ Index bryolo- 
gicus ’ ( 25 ) transferred to Streptopogon the two species Barbida 
crispatula , C. Mull., from Patagonia (1897), and B. Wilhelmii , 
C. Mull, (nomen) (1897), from Australia. Paris also mentioned 
a moss under the name ‘ N. maveganensis , Besch. in Marie M 0 
Mad. nr. 269/ In 1897 also, Brown ( 4 ) published 5 . Hookeri 
from New Zealand. Finally, in 1900, M tiller in his ‘ Genera 
Muscorum Frondosorum ’ ( 24 ) mentioned by name N. 
Calymperopsis from Bolivia.
