1037 Mixture of 6 species.Barbula tophacea & rubella,Bryum,? same as
etc,a Webera,a ? Dicranacea or Leptobryum,& a ? Orthodontium.
1038 Pottia Heimii & ? dry form of 1032,but with less distinct auricles,
less inflated.
1039 seems good B rubella,with well developed peristome.
1040,Mnium ? cuspidatum
1041 Amblystegium,in good fruit,seems same as others,but larger leaves,
more widely ovate,cells distinctly narrower,but with some branches
much as the others,& with it another with falcate leaf points,& as nar-
row cells as most narrow of Amblystegium,shiny appearance,but not appare-
tly otherwise distinct without fruit. A little Bryum ? pseudo-triquet-
um.
1042 ? same plant as last of 1041,but darker,& with the nerve usually
stronger.
& Bryum ? pseudo-triquetrum,with ovate to widely ovate leaves,wide
cells,sometimes almost quadrate to well past middle of leaf,narrow
border of cells,but variable,at times almost absent,leaf plane to light-
ly recurved to near apex,nerve usually slightly excurrent.? dioecous.
Lid seems of double cells,giving it the appearance of tiling,peristome
rather pale,inner peristome seemingly not appendiculate. Annulus double
row of rather short cells on narrow border of small incrassate cells.
Capsule gradually,not abruptly bordered with small,not incrassate
cells. Capsule long necked. Spores seem to me markedly larger than
usual with Bryum,& finely spinulose.
1043 ? Harpidia or Stereodon,with small but well defined inflated
auricles,decurrent leaves,auricles often torn off,base deeply rounded.
Cells distinctly narrow.Nerve to above the middle,acuminate,falcate,
rather broadly ovate leaves. Also Bryum ? Pseudoatriquetrum& Leptobryum
&
