The entire gth of the threads, including the central vesicle, is 0-15 to 0'23 mm. 3 spores in the central part of the sporangium do not seem to be rersed by any threads. In the lower strata the threads are some- es attached at each extremity to folds of the membrane arising m the spongy base ; but the rigid coUumellse, throughout the upper t at least, appear to be free from the capillitium. lab.
