Another species, A. irriguum, is treated in connection with the Water-loving Hypnums. The species as a rule are hard to determine without a compound microscope and -only one other is included here, although we have a much larger number of common species. A. SERPENS (L.) B. & S., the Creeping Hypnum, is common- on soil and moist rotten wood in shaded places. As will be seen from the figures of the plants the leaves are almost too small to handle readily with forceps, but when mounted a well developed costa can be made out. The lens, however, will not show the Figure 61. Leave? of Amhlystegium serpens, highly magnified. RAPHIDOSTEGIUM. R. EECUEVANS (Mx.) J. & S., the Common Raphidostegium, looks very much like one of the true Hypnums with irregular branching and secund ecostate leaves. It is a bright yellow-green and grows in dense mats on rotten stumps and logs in wet shaded places. It is common throughout our range, but I have rarely seen it in frviit in the vicinity of New York City. The -chief distinction from the true Hypnums lies in the very short.
