Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club, Vol. 7: January, 1880
First there is an introduction, from which we quote On a recent visit by Mr. James to Europe, he took with him not only spec imens of the species here described, but also of many of those recently described in the Scientific Journals of this country, for the purpose of critically examining the whole in co-operation with Prof. W. P. Schimper, of Strasburg. This justly celebrated obryologist has cordially given his assistance in this review, and therefore secured to the descriptions of our species a higher degree of authority. Then follows the description of 17 species, 14 of which are claimed to be new. Upon reading the introduction, our expectations were raised to a high pitch, and we were prepared for a rich feast of bryological novelties. How we fared the sequel will show.
