LVIII. Fig. 10-13 . Tab. LIX. 14). At about the same place as the annulus is visible, instead of sixteen, thirty-two large peristome cells, two of them together are built as one big cell seen in the mosses examined until now; see Fig. 11 . pp; a little bit nearer to the apex of the capsule where the peristome disappears totally only sixteen of them may be seen; compare Fig. 12 and 13 . The base of the peristome itself is formed from a coarse tissue composed by considerably thickened cells constituting a strong connection with the outer capsule membrane; see the transverse section Fig. 10 . pp , the longitudinal section Fig. 14. x and y . Somewhat higher above, the thickening of the membranes is concentrated on the side of the peristome cells that turn towards the inner side of the capsule, Fig. 11 . pp , then the thickening becomes smaller and smaller and divides into two cords at half the height of the peristome, [original page 576] Fig. 12 . pp , to finally finish somewhat below the apex of the capsule, Fig. 13 . pp . The structure of the capsule above the separation of the teeth is essentially comparable with that described for Barbula ( Fig. 12 ). *) The annulus is formed by considerably small, flattened cells (Tab. LIX. Fig. 14. a ).
