Abstract

In a paper on Mosses, read before this Society on the 12th
of last May, the more easily distinguished generic characters
of that natural order were described, and amongst them the
peristomes or fringes of teeth surrounding the mouths of the
fruit capsules, which deck their summits at: with jewelled
crowds. The inflorescence of these tiny plants was not referred
to at that time ; nevertheless, a brief description
thereof is essential to the study of bryology, and it may
interest the Fellows of the Royal Society.
