70. Jungermannia filamentosa, Lehm. et Lindb., Pugill. vi. p. 29. Montagne in Voy. au Pole Sud, Bot. Crypt, p. 246.

Hab. Strait of Magalliaens ; M. Hombron.

A plaut we do not recognize amongst the numerous forms, from Fuegia and Lord Auckland's Island, of this most difficult, and perhaps too extended group.

71. Jungermannia Javanica, Mont., in Voy. au Pole Sud, Bot. Crypt, p. 246.

Hab. Strait of Magalliaens; Port Famine, M. Jacquinot.

This may be one of the above enumerated species, though we have failed in identifying it. It is also a native of Java.

72. Jungermannia chordulifera, Tayl., in Bond. Journ. Bot. vol. v. p. 371. (Tab. CLXI. Fig. VI.) Hab. Chonos Archipelago, C. Darwin, Esq.

A very handsome species, allied to the J. pendulina of New Zealand. Plate CLXI. Fig. VI. — 1, plant of the natural size ; 2, stem, leaves, and stipules ; 4, stipule : — magnified.

(9. Mastigophoea, Nees.)

Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; on roots of stunted trees, &c., alt. 1,000 feet. Falkland Islands; rocks on the lull tops, rare.

A widely distributed plant, being found in Mexico and Java, at the Cape of Good Hope, and Lord Auckland's group.

(10. Radula, Nees.)

74. Jungermannia Helix, Hook. fil. et Tayl.; parvula, caule repente implexo subflexuoso pinnatim ramoso, foliis remotis alternis oblongis alte concavis integerrimis basi gibbosis, lobo superiori ovato-oblongo obtuso, inferioris ovati tumidi involuti apice subacuto superiori appresso. Nobis in Bond. Journ. Bot. vol. iv. p. 475. Gottsche, Lindb. et Nees, Syn. Hep. p. 260. (Tab. CLX. Fig. II.)

Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn ; growing with J. colorata.

Cæspites vix ¼ unc. lati, pallide straniinei. Folia pauca, alterna, nisi apicem caulis versus remota. A very distinct Mttle species, found growing on large masses of /. colorata, with the purple colour of which its pale stems contrast conspicuously. It is smaller and has more tumid leaves than any of its congeners ; the latter resemble in fonn the shell of Helix putris, whence the trivial name.

Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn ; on trunks of trees.

An abundant boreal plant, inhabiting Europe from Switzerland to Iceland. Li the southern hemisphere it has hitherto been seen only in Lord Auckland's group and at Cape Horn. It is rather a variable species, and we have
