Many of the smaller forms among Lejeunea and other genera are described from fresh specimens or from those preserved in alcohol. The collections were chiefly made in Killarney. Of the new species we may mention Lejeunea patens, L. Moorei, Zygodon aristaius. In an appendix we find a list of the genera of European Hepaticas classified as follows:—
