1082 Amblystegium,with short nerve,long narrow leaves,usually serrate, cells rather wide,those in corners usually quadrate. A few stems with broader leaves, & rather longer cells,but seems grading into other. a capsule with an aregma on it. 1083 brachythecium,widely ovate leaves,with few plain quadrate cells at corners,cells fairly narrow,nerve short,leaves* rather long pointed & serrulate.Amblystegium as above,& a few stems with widely ovate leaves with longer nerve,& short,but somewhat narrow & sinuose. 1084 same as 1078,but not in fruit,& with hyaline points,through drynes 1085 ?harpidia aduncum V aquatica,,auricles of that group,& no sign of teeth,long flexuose point,& nerv to about base of acumen 1096 Amb ? confervioides,with obscure nerve,short pointed leaves,& cells nearly as wide as long,rather more quadrate at angles,with it a plant with longer & larger leaves,longer cells,more nerved,but seems an Amb,rather serrulate at margins. 1092 & 1093,both with rather wide cells,& teeth seem of usual pattern, not pendulum,? is air in teeth cause of markings,or possibly membrane markings. Capsule much as 1073,& plants otherwise not much distinct from it,leaves rather wider near middle perhaps 1094 rather larger capsules & showing in some teeth the markings before referred to,at base of teeth,in any case tge teeth are hot of ordinary construction,being plainly divided into at least two divisions,the cells narrower,but I doubt whether it can be seperated from 1075 clearly ex- cept when in fruit. 1095 Seems same as 1075,the teeth plainly appendiculate,cells rather narrower than usual,(see remarks above) 1091 & 1090,broadly ovate leaves with strongly serrate,at times spinose teeth,& serrations to near base usually,cells long but not too narrow, nerv about halfway up,& leaves plicate. Fem with long flexuose points. 1099 Dicranum,with wide base suddenly contracted about third up to a very narrow & incurved lamina of small obscure quadrate cells. Below cells long,narrow & hyaline,nerve rather n rrow. cells above serrate,lamina ceasing below apex,which seems serrate all round strongly curled when dry,flexuose when moist 1100 Mnium with rostratum leaf,but decurrent,nerve ceasing below apic- ulus,points very sharp,usually reaching about half way down,unknown 1101 leaves rather broad pointed,serrate to or near to base,nerv to about half way,leaves somewhat plicate,cells rather wide for Brachy leaves somewhat decurrent,almost cordate at base with a few rather plain quadrate alar cells reaching almost to nerve.?
