rather than var. data." —H. N. D. “ I sent my specimen to Mr. 
Dixon and he writes : “ This plant you sent is certainly v. data , 
especially as regards areolation and toothing, (in size anti height it 
is not very markedly so.) The plant I received from the M. E. 
Club was much smaller, with short leaves, only differing from the 
type in the laxer areolation. The whole gathering appears to in¬ 
clude a series of forms, of which your taller specimen is good, 
though not robust var. data, the smaller plants approaching the type 
and only differing in the laxer areolation, which is of course a 
character of importance.” All the specimens were from the same 
spot. It is not likely there is any difference except in size.” —

Dicranodontium longirostre var. alpinum Schpr. Thrushgill Fell, 
Raeburndale, VV. Lancs. A. Wilson, Oct., ’98. “ The type only. 
The var. has leaves not deciduous. A specimen of the var. from 
Ingleboro, leg. G. E. Hunt, is markedly different in this respect, 
although quite agreeing otherwise.” Later Mr. Meldrum writes he 
overlooked in Schimper’s description that the leaves in the var. are 
“ vix ” deciduous, and he is satisfied this is the variety.” “ The 
Ingleboro and W. Lancs, plants grow in large pulvinate tussocks 
in peaty bogs, sometimes two feet across. The var. can be dis¬ 
tinguished at sight with ease.”—J. A. Wheldon. “ I feel no doubt 
it is the var. It is hard, however, to separate the type from the 
var. in the herbarium ; nor do I get any help from Limpricht’s 
description, for the very characters which he gives as separating the 
var. structurally from the type (clearly defined auricles, narrow 
border of elongate basal cells) I find most strongly marked in the 
very specimens which in habit, etc., are most strongly pronounced 
type !" —H. N. Dixon.
