308 RECORDS OF THE BOTANICAL SURVEY OF INDIA. 
Valley of Kunkar R., Hazara Distr., N.-W. Front. Prov., 3,000— 
6,500 ft. (1004, 1018). The latter is much water-worn, indicating that 
the variety is a more or less aquatic form. 
Barbula sp. Near B. gregaria (Mitt.), but with oblong-lingulate, 
obtuse leaves, and nerve only faintly muricate at back above. Probably 
a new species, but best left undetermined pro tem. 
Valley of Kunkar R., Bahusar Pass, N.-W. Front. Prov., 6,500— 
13,000 ft. (1052). 
Desmatodon suberectus (Drumm.) Limpr. 
Valleys of Thak and Baner tributaries, Ohilas, 4000—13,000 ft. 
1078). 
Tortula Brandisii (€.M.) Broth. 
Valley of Kunkar R., Hazara Distr., N.-W. Front. Prov., 3,000— 
6,500 ft. (1007, 1008, 1009, 1012). Bahusar Pass, N.-W. Front. Prov., 
6,500—13,000 ft. (1059). This species was also collected by Mr. W. Lillie 
in 1923, on Takht-i-Suleiman, 5,000—6,000 ft., Srinagar, Kashmir (798). 
I do not know that it has been collected since its original gathering. 
Ihave compared the plants with an original specimen in the Brit. 
Museum, and find them to agree exactly, with the single exception that 
C. Mueller describes his species as synoicous, and I have found no 
synoicous flowers on these specimens, which appear dioicous. As 
however species of Zygotrichia are frequently polyoicous, I do not think 
this need cast any doubt on the identity with 7. Brandisii.* 
GRIMM AcER, 
Grimmia apocarpa nov. var. subpellucida Dixon. 
Atro-viridis ; folia breviter pilosa ; cellule superiores perdense, 
obscure, median quadrate, pellucida, parietibus nec incrassatis nec 
sinuosis ; basilares quadrats, inanes, parietibus rectis, tenuibus. 
Valley of Kunkar R., Bahusar Pass, N.-W. Front. Prov., 6,500— 
13,000 ft. (1051). Valleys of Thak and Baner tributaries, Chilas, 4,000— 
13,000 ft. (1076). 
The areolation is unusually pellucid, both at base and in mid-leaf, 
and I did not suspect an apecarpa form until No. 1076 showed fruit which 
seems inseparable from this species. It is a marked variety. The pili- 
ferous leaves exclude G. alpicola. - 
* Aspecimen gathered later by Mr, Lillie in Kashmir, shows a 4 flower close to 
and almcst within the perichetium.
