Himanihalia lorea near Vaags Ejde. Fig. 76 represents some frag¬ 
ments of the plant which according to my opinion agrees fairly 
well with the plant figured by Rosenvinge (1. c. fig. 19). The erect

of cells, usually bear long hairs the base of which are enclosed in 
sheaths such as are common in the genus Myrionema (cfr. Sau- 
vageau, 1. c. p. 44); it was presumably this sheath which Rosen¬ 
vinge saw and which induced him to write with reference to the 
hairs: »poussant quelquefois a travers les sporanges vides«. While 
Rosenvinge observed in the Greenland plants both basal hairs such 
as are figured by Reinke, 1. c., and hairs on the erect filaments, 
the Fseroese specimens have hairs on the erect filaments only.
