          Jung. mastigophora Spreng. is a suspicious looking
thing and much from its habit and structure
I shd not esteem in a Jungermannia till
I saw the fruit.

Hypn. taxiforme Brid. is correct but that plant
is nothing more than Hedwigia hunboldtii
Hook Mens En +. 137

[Ussuria?] mixed with [?] is [?]
Ach. [Ussuria?] flaccida of Hoffm.

23. Herb. Mad. is a Neckera of [F.] Schwaegrichen but I 
believe a Daltonia of a monograph Hooker &
myself have in view. There are 2 species 
very near each other N. composita and 
N. bipinnata of Schwagr. & N. affinis of
Hook. the 1st has an erect seta - the 2nd
a cuved one & the last an erect one.
Judging from habit I shd say your
plant is certainly not the first or second
and the leaves are not long & narrow
enough for the last. Besides the nerves
are united at the base (or there is properly
speaking on bipartite nerve). I have
a plant from Jamaica thrise as
large as yours with the same habit
but the two nerves distinct from
the [?] base. When we have
thoroughly examined these puzzline
individuals you shall hear the
result.

"Jung. thousarii" is Jung. [?] of Rich. (Hook Mensc.
Eart t. 79) I have a miserable specimen 
& was rejoiced to see yours.
