Botany. Cinclidium s/ygium, Peristomium (n ag.). Entosthodon fascicularis. Vertical section of capsule (mag.).. Funaria liygrometrica. Germinating spores (mag.). of very A'arious form; the fibrous cells are larger, very thin, hyaline, filled with a watery liquid and amylaceous granules; the medullary cells are narrower and thicker, but soft and brownish ; they contain no granules, but colour by iodine. EooTS.—The roots spring either from basilar cells or from peripheric cells of the stem; they are always composed of a single series of cells united by oblique walls; they are more or less branched, the principal branches of a reddish brown, the branchlets white or hyaline. In many species a resinous exudation forms a granular deposit on their surface, which is of great importance in attaching certain species to hard bodies; in other cases contributing to the agglutination of sands and the binding of the dunes on sea-coasts by tufted species {Polytrichum piliferum, nanutn, Barbula ruralis, Rha- comitrium canescens, &c.). Besides their subterranean roo,ts, most Mosses possess aerial or adventitious roots, which are developed over the whole surface of the stem, but more especially in the axils of the leaves of the branches. Leaves.—Blade usually simple, nerveless, or traversed longitudinally by one, rarely by two, cellular bundles {Hylocomium), commonly termed nerves, which may be shorter than the blade, or may reach its apex, o
