TRICHOSTOMUM .

Agrees entirely in structure and peristome with Barbula . Only, the peristome teeth are weaker and more frail than in Barbula and the inner, more tender half may separate easier from the outer one than in that genus *).

Trichostomum tortile , which I could examine more exactly, has an immensely delicate construction of the annulus similar to that I will describe under Aulacomnion palustre .

Only briefly could I examine Rhacomitrium ericoides . In this moss too the teeth are con- structed as in Barbula .
