An exceedingly prettyand interesting plant. SUBFAMILY 3SELIGERIE^ Plants minute, scarcelybranched; leaves narrowly lance-olate subulate, without distinct Fig. 34. (Bry. Eur.)

Our species belonging to this sub-family are very minute plants of alpine summits or cool ravines and are so rarethat no species have been treated here. We have the genera Brachyodiu, con-fine to Tuclcermans ravine, Mt. Washington, and of several species of Seligeria. SUBFAMILY 4. ONCOPHOREiE Leaves chlorophyllose, opaque, usually papillose, without distinct angularcells, the upper minute, quadrate. Capsule on a long seta, oblong or subcylin-dric, usually unsymmetric and inclined, usually striate and frequently distinguishing characteristic of this subfamily is the small and rounded orquadrate often papillose cells of the upper leaf, and this character indicates avery close relations
