Correction to the Moss Key appearing in the last issue.
Unfortunatley [sic] a slip was made in keying the mosses with 3 rows of leaves: Rhacopilum is the only genus with a dorsal row of leaves, not Cyathophorum as shown.
Numbers 11-14 of the key should read as follows:
| 11. | One dorsal and two lateral rows of leaves: leaves piliferous by the excurrent nerve | Rhacopilum |
| One ventral and two lateral rows of leaves | 12 | |
| 12. | Seta terminal | Calomnion |
| Seta lateral | 13 | |
| 13. | Leaves strikingly ciliate | Catharomnion |
| Leaves not ciliate | 14 | |
| 14. | Usually unbranched: seta so short that the capsule is hidden under the frond. | Cyathophorum |
| Stems usually tree- or umbrella-like, much branched above. Seta obvious, from the top of the “umbrella.” | Hypopterygium | |
| In the introduction, Dr. Taylor's name should be erased and W. Wilson's added in its place. |
