176 .THE WEST VIRGINIA FLORA flated basal auricles ; differing also in the cells above the base, teeth not split to base, occasionally only perforate. From D. Virginicus it may be distinguished by the less caducous leaves, shorter, stouter, more arcuate pedicels, smaller capsules, and longer sheathing- pcrichxtium. Through the kindness of Dr. Robinson I have been able to compare these specimens with those collected by Sullivant on Grandfather Mt. in 1843. His also are fruiting, and an excellent drawing is preserved, hence I am able to assert that the specimens are almost identical. Sullivant's showing no naked stems, but many of the leaves are cadu cous. Dr. Braithwaite kindly compared the West Virginia specimens with Campylopus pyriformis, sending me speci mens of this and the varjety Mulleri, and sketches of the bases of the leaves. It is evident that Sullivant was mis taken in referring his specimens to C. flexuosus, as they are more closely allied to Dieranodontium longirostre, var. alpinus. L E U C О B R Y A C E A E.
