Abstract
THE February number of the Journal of Botany contains three articles dealing with mosses. The first and most interesting paper records the finding of an Arctic species, Tetraplodon Wormskioldii—practically a Splachnum—on Widdy Bank Fell, by Messrs. E. C. Horrell and D. A. Jones. Its usual-habitat is about 70° N., and further north.—Mr. Duncan discusses the occurrence of Octodiceas Julianuns along with Fontinalis in the River Severn.—There is the first part of a joint paper by Messrs. D. Prain and E. Baker on Indigofera species, in which it is proposed to deal with the numerous synonyms.—Mr. C. B. Clarke writes an appreciative article on Colonel Sir Henry Collett, who combined botany with various important administrative posts in India.
