Very distinct from P. compositarum, in the larger, sooty sori, which are
a long time covered, and very few in number, sometimes only three or four,

The structure of this plant is at present very imperfectly ascertained. The
flocci are of a vinous-brown, and here and there invested with mucilage.
The larger sporangiform bodies which adhere to them seem very much to

Its first appearance is that of orbicular white downy patches, consisting
of suberect slightly branched threads. These soon vanish, leaving a dark-
olive green stratum, consisting at first of short clavate filaments, with one
or two septa. Their apices gradually become much incrassated, and the
number of articulations increases. The septa are mostly horizontal, with a
few vertical ones; a few occasionally are inclined. In this state the colour
is yellowish when viewed by transmitted light. The spores gradually as-
sume a browner tint, become more and more distinct from the peduncle, and
at length fall off, acquiring a rectangular outline, resembling very much little
corded bales, from which circumstance the name is taken. ‘They vary
greatly in size, andin the number of cells. A few of the peduncles are seen
amppest the spores, their articulations being frequently swollen above.—

flocci. It forms more or less orbicular patches of from § to 2in. in diameter,

This order is at present
uncertain, some consider-

others to Fungi; it is
named here provisionally,
without venturing any
special claim to a place
amongst moulds, though of
opinion that the evidence
seems to be in its favour.

Fruit consisting of sporidia, mostly definite, contained in asci,
springing from a naked, or enclosed stratum of fructifying
cells, and forming an hymenium or nucleus.—Berk. Outl. p. 357.

The essential character of this important division consists in the develop-
ment of definite or indefinite sporidia within certain of the external cells of
the hymenium called asci, frequently accompanied by inarticulate or septate,
simple or branched, threads, which are abortive asci, known under the name
of paraphyses. —Berk Intr. Dp. ‘O70.

Peridium formed of closely interwoven threads; sporidia at
length forming a compact, dusty mass.— Berk, Outl. p. 406.

General receptacle claveform or subglobose ; peridium brittle, filled with
branched threads, which produce asci at different points ; asci soon absorbed ;
sporidia filling the cavity of the peridium, pulverulent. —Berk. Intr. p. 272.

(Fig. 309. )

The species resemble little round-headed nails, and
are smooth externally, and filled within with reddish
powder, which is at first contained in asci. They are
small and singular from their affecting animal sub-

stances, and their external resemblance to little puff-
balls, (Zig. 309.)

The Sclerotium is found in the pith of rushes, from which Mr. Currey found
the Peziza freely developed. (See Journ. Linn. Soe., vol. 1, p. 147.)

“The cup was of a bright brown colour, varying somewhat in shape ;
most it was hemispherical, in some infundibuliform ; in one the edge of ‘the
cup was erect, extending beyond the equator of the hemisphere » in others
the edge of the cup was recurved and sinuous. The number growing from
one Sclerotium varied from 2 to 13, and the greater the number the less was
the size of the individual. The diameter of the largest cup was rather more
than one half, and of the smallest about 1-16th of aninch. ‘The stalk was
well developed, being generally about the length of the diameter of the cup
of a darker colour, and tapering somewhat from abovedownwards. In one
specimen the base of the stem atits point of junction with the Sclerotiwm was
thickly covered with hairs.”—F’. Currey.

In deep sand. Oct. Bowood. Wilts.

** Closely allied to 7. estivum, Vitt. but easily distinguished by the odour ;
t differs also in the general form, being much more regular, and the warts
smaller, andin the existence of a basal cavity prolonged into the substance
of the fungus, which is thus very light compared with 7’. estivum. The veins
cohere very loosely, so that it is difficult to cut the plant in half without
breaking it into frustules. It shrinks very much in drying. The sporangia
have much longer stalks than in 7’. estivwm. The sporidia closely resemble
those of that species, but are slightly longer compared with their width, and
have somewhat shallower cells. It ranges from the size of a walnut to that
of a hen’s egg.” Odour bituminous, and very strong of horse radish.—

Curr. Proc. Roy. Soc. (1857), p. 119, with figs.

Growing gregariously on fragments of wood, on the sands by
the sea shore at Sketty, near Swansea.

Each individual presents the appearance of a small round somewhat flat-
tened body, of a dull yellow colour, and withan unevenness of surface caused
by numberless convolutions of theintegument. The diameter of the largest
did not much exceed 4th in. Externally with a strong resemblance to Dacry-

several layers of cells, the outer large and rounded, the inner long and flat.
The asci are broadly clavate, with a very short stem springing from threads
proceeding from the inner surface of the integument. They are absorbed at
an early period, and the sporidia form a dense mass. Sporidia globular,
colourless, furnished with long delicate sharp rays, projecting from the sur-

The original specimens of Vittadini are minutely granulated under a lens,
a character which does not appearin our specimen. The sporidia are alike,
and at once distinguish it from Z. variegatus, the only species with which it
can be confounded. The smell is very powerful, in which respect again it
does not agree with Vittadini’s species. It is, indeed, probable that it will
prove new, but on the authority of a single individual, not in very good con-

This species is very distinct from Spheria macrostoma, Tode. It is possible
that Mr. Currey’s fig. 64 may belong to it. Externally there is considerable
resemblance, except that the perithecia are smaller. The sporidia are ('0009

Perithecia scattered over conspicuous green spots an inch or
more in length, semi-immersed, black ; ostiolum, linear, asci cy-
lindrical ; sporidia uniseriate, triseptate, attenuated towards each
extremity, constricted at the septa, brown, with a large nucleus
in each cell. When free the sporidia exhibit a distinct outer
transparent membrane which invests them.—Cooke Trans. Bot.

On decorticated twigs of Maple. Jan. Shere, Surrey.

The conspicuous green patches on which the perithecia are usually found
resemble those caused by the mycelium of Helotium eruginosum, indeed, it is
not improbable that the latter originates the patches upon which the Spherta
locates itself. Hitherto the green patches and the perithecia have always been
found associated. The perithecia are larger and more prominent than in Lo-
phiostoma bicuspidata, and both are very distinct from S, macrostoma, Tode, in
their fructification, although somewhat resembling small forms of it in ex-
ternal appearance. The fruit much resembles that of some species of Jfas-
saria, Length of sporidia ("0014 in.) 035 m.m.

This can hardly be considered as a form of S. angustilabra, since that.
Species, even when the septa can be discerned, still remains quadri-nucleate.
The length is slightly less, and the hyaline membrane absent. It appears
to succeed Spheria coniformis on old nettle stems, and has been overlooked
from its casual resemblance to the remains of the dispersing perithecia of

Curious both in habit and fruit. The perithecia are completely and deeply
buried in the wood, and are sometimes scattered, sometimes in groups; the
perithecia seem eventually to throw off the wood above the ostiola, leaving
deep depressions in the surface of the wood. Sporidia uniseriate, olive-
brown, straight or very slightly curved, biseptate, each furnished witha hya-
line tip, which is shut off from the rest of the sporidium by one of the septa ;

Sometimes only the ostiolum is visible above the surface of the matrix,
sometimes nearly one third of the perithecium is emergent, mostly following
the course of the fibres. The sporidia are (‘0076 in.) ‘2 m.m. long, divided
by septa throughout their entire length. This certainly does not accord
with the brief characters of Currey’s S. longispora, neither does it belong to
the same section.

SPHARIACEI. 927

This parasite was growing on the interstices of the areole of the thallus of
the lichen, and never on the surface, The only specimen observed was col-
lected, andis deposited in the Kew Herbarium. No mention whatever is
made by the Rev, W. Leighton of any ostiolum, nor is there any indication
in the figures. In this respect, as well as in the reticulated substance of the
perithecia, distinct mycelium, and spherical spores it accords with the pre-
ceding species, both of which seem to offer good features for a distinct genus,
the absence of ostiolum being sufficient reason to exclude them from the
genus Spheria,
