Especially in the longitudinal section, the capsule shows an exceptional regularly formed tissue, its structure is very similar to Dicranum . *) The Messrs. Bruch and Schimper in the cited puplication, Fasc. XXXVII-XL Dicranum p. 6 state: “The dorsal side of the teeth is covered by a fine striated cell membrane, the commissures of them are scarcely visible because they have been overlooked till now. This membrane is a typical peculiarity of all real Dicranaceae ”. No wonder that this membrane has been overlooked till now, because it does not exist at all . [original page 577] The partial thickening of the sixteen peristome cells (here also on the walls orientated towards the inner-side of the capsule), at about half the height of the structure, the peristome divides into two cords for each cell. It must be noticed that, at its base, the peristome gradually becomes smaller, Fig. 17. p , and does not stand out abruptly as a tissue of thickened cells as in Dicranum ; furthermore that the horizontal separating walls of the cell layer neighbouring the peristome cells on the inner side are partly strongly thickened, therefore the peristome seems to be carved at the inner side, Fig. 17 . tt , which in this extent is not the case in mosses with simple peristomes that I could see. At the place of the annulus are small thick-walled cells (Tab. LX. Fig. 17 a ).
