10. P. crin'da, Wils., is generally very readily distiuguishecl from its allies by the long hair-like points of its leaves, which are obtuse, and its oval transparent capsule showing the sporangium not contiguous with the external walls ; in its octofarious leaves it agrees with P. Wilsoni, but ditfers by its smooth calyptra, and in the areolation of its leaves.
11. P. virulifolia, n. sp. {P. pallida, Braithwaite, in Journ. of Bot. VIII. 255, non Lindberg) ; leaves obovato-spathulate, obtuse or slightly acute; nerve not very stout, excurrent into a short point ; n)argin recurved about the middle ; cells in the upper part hexagonal or nearly square, their external walls with minute protuberances, obscure with chlorophyll, lower cells oblong, hyaline", smooth; seta short; capsule oblong; lid rostrate; antheridia in the axils of the comal leaves. Hab. Plymouth, Mr. Holmes ; also in Wilson's Muse. Brit., amongst additional specimens of P. crinita. From P. crlnita this differs in its larger and wider leaves, with the upper cells less obscure and less evidently tuberculated, the lower cells less elongated, and the short and slender nerve.
P. pallida, Liudberg, belongs to this section of the arrangement, which is described in his review of the European Tortula and Trlcho- stoiiifB as having octofarious, panduriform leaves with cells " Irevissimis," the nerve long and fragile, the seta " aureoflava " ; capsule " cylindrico- oblonga," gymnostomous ; operculum rostrate, indistinctly twisted ; calyp- tra smooth ; antheridia in the axils of the comal leaves. This was gathered on the coast of Spain, and, from the precision of the description, must be distinct from all our British species.
