Found fortile only (July, 1883) in similar situations on rocks of the Potsdam satulstoiio in the dells of the Wisconsin Klver near Kilboum City, Wisconsin, by Miss Elizabeth G. Knight. Two species only of this genus are known. The second, E. Savntcri, Ilusnot (lievue Bryol. v. 85), is from Japan, and has also been found in fruit. It differs merely in the shorter and broader stem-loaves, abruptly round-truncate and denticulate at the apex, and cuspidate by the excurrent rough thick pointed costa. The peilicel is of the same length ami char- acter; the deoperculate capsule is oval. The calyptra and the operculum have not been '^ -If- SunxRiBE IV. SELIGERIE^.
