1067 as 1063, well marked, with a strong tendency to reddish. 1064 Funaria,, Leptobryum, & a little Amblystegium ? minutissimum, leaves long lanceolate, ecostate, or faintly nerv ed, cells fairly long, border of leaves serrate, leaves rather falcate. 1066 B rubella & Leptobryum 1068 ? Amblystegium, with points often coarsely serrate. Border more or less serrate, cells narrow, no marked auricles, but a few quadrate cells gradually ? adnatum. 1069. ? same as 1076(?) synoicous, long capsule, border strong cells wide leaves widest about or above middle, well appendiculate, leaves recurved borders. Ceratodon, & Brachythecium, ? glareosum, no auricles, long point, rather twisted & serrate, few quadrate cells gradually at corners, nerve poor, somewhat plicate. 1070 ? Barbula. leaf apex very variable, acute or acuminate to broadly obtuse, leaf cells pellucid, very thick walled, base, leaves cells more obscure, margin usually recurved on one or both sides to above centre, never to middle, apex toothed irregularly. nerve always ceasing below apex, leaves crowded on stems, & stems tomentose with root hairs well up, cells with a single conical to acute papilla, usually hyaline, at least at apex, giving leaves rather a saw like appearance, nerve also with same kind of papillae. & Bryum, ? same as 1073, young leaves broader, broader cells, margin not so strong & not recurved. & Brachythecium, autoicous, with ovate leaves, somewhat serrulate at margins, long pointed, point serrate, nerve less than half way. Cells long & narrow, pellucid, few cells at auricles quadrate, rather plain. Fem rather short broad & very long. pointed serrate points, male, much as ordinary leaves. & a little Amblysteg 1071 ? same as above, but leaf points more incurved, in fact channeled, & c cells seem more projecting, & with it another ?, with narrower cells, leaf broader at above base, but comparatively narrow at base, alar cells more pronounced, & little nerve, leaves more licate, & edges smooth, also points, nerve seems short & double, on stem leaves, but longer on the narrow deeper plicate branch leaves, autoicous, male bracts from a broad base abruptly & long pointed, seems no peraphases. 1076 C Amblystegium, wide celled, thick walled, entire, short nerv ed, few more quadrate than rest at angle. 1077 -Same, & another harpidiod, with looser more gradually quadrate cells at base & narrower more sinuose cells rest of leaf, but seem broad- er than second of 1071, & alar cells not so distinct. 1074 Seems same as 1070, or perhaps as 1071 being more projecting cells at margin. 1072 ? same as 1075, leaves widest at or above middle, cells rather wide, border cells narrow & well defined, recurved to near apex, nerve shortly excurrent, not or but slightly spinulose 1073 Male flower found, with no sign of archegoniums, paraphyses plent- iful, Also Ceratodon with both flowers well developed, & some Amblysteg -ium in small quantity, Bryum leaf broadest near base, cells, rather broad & points not so markedly spinose as thought. 1075 & leaves broadest above middle. Little toothed leaf Amblystegium & a little Brachythecium as 1070 1078 teeth double, sometimes treble perforated, 7 to 10 cells high, cells pitted, giving a very irregular marking to teeth. Leaf of Fem much expan ded, & crenate with projecting cells, basal hyaline cells much as Tr flavorirens 1079 Papillose P Inclinata 1080 P Snclinata, & loose celled form of B Nervosa with small bits of a thick nerv ed ? amblystegium, with strong nerve right up into acumen, acumen more or less channeled, cells rahter narrow for the genus, a few at corners gradually more quadrate, cells projecting for some distance up edge of leaf 1081 Mostly B Nervosa, with a stem or two of P inclinata, & a broad celled widely ovate narrow bordered bryum,
