The structure of the capsule reveals an affinity with Trichostomum , also the annulus and the peristome. Differences to note are that in the central and the upper parts of the peristome the outer half of the teeth are weaker and terete, whilst the inner ones are stronger and appearing flattened, that means *) The separation of the genera Trichostomum and Barbula based on the difference of the structure of the peri- stome (Bruch and Schimper l. l. Fasc. XIII-XV Barbula p. 6 and Fasc. XVIII Trichostomum p. 3) is inadmis- sible because such a difference is non-existent. Both genera, together with Didymodon may be seen as a subunit of one genus not yet defined, because the turning of the peristome teeth is very variable. [original page 575] that the membrane thickening of the peristome cells itself is not so strong as that of the neighbouring cells (compare Tab. LXVI. Fig. 40 . pp and tt ).
