BERKELEY’S TYPES OF FUNGI. 495 
2-seriate, hyaline, continuous, smooth, cylindrical, ends obtuse, 
slightly curved, 7 x 1:5-2 u; paraphyses slender, not appreciably 
thickened upwards. 
Cenangium russum, ace. Syll. viii. n. 2340. 
On bark. Central Province, Ceylon (Thwaites, n. 1064). 
A fine and distinet species, marked by its bright rust-colour 
and small, sausage-shaped spores. 
Prziza (Š EwcaGrrA) USTALIS, Berk. d Curt. in Grevillea, 
vol. iii. (1875) p. 152. (PI. XVIII. figs. 20, 21.) 
Crowded, rarely scattered, stipitate; ascophore at first closed 
and the margin strongly incurved, then becoming cup-shaped and 
regular, finally quite plane and flexuous ; substance rather thin, 
pliant, and translucent when young and moist, hymenium clear 
brown, externally reddish-brown and very minutely furfuraceous, 
at length altogether blackish, up to 2 mm. across when plane; 
stem short, stout, blackish; hypothecium and excipulum formed 
of slender, coloured, interwoven hyphe, passing into a small-celled 
brown parenchymatous cortex ; asci cylindric-clavate, 45-50 x 
4-5 u, not at all blue with iodine ; spores 8, irregularly 2-seriate, 
hyaline, continuous, smooth, cylindrical, ends obtuse, slightly 
curved, 4-5 x 1°5 u; paraphyses slender, not thickened upwards. 
Cenangium ustale, Sace. Syll. n. 2435. 
On fallen branches. Alabama, U.S.A. (Peters, n. 6068). 
Apparently erumpent, bursting through the bark. When young 
and translucent, there is a tinge of reddish-purple along with 
the brown. Superficially resembling Cenangium Cerasi, Massee, 
but quite distinct in the continuous, hyaline, smaller spores. 
Peziza (8 LACHNEA) coPROGENA, Berk. $ Broome, in Trans. 
Linn. Soc. ser. II. (Bot.) vol. i. (1883) p. 69. (Pl. XVII. 
figs. 28, 29.) 
Gregarious or crowded, dingy orange, closed at first, then 
plane or slightly convex, clothed externally, and especially near 
the margin, with slightly tinted, conical, septate, rather thick- 
walled hairs 100-200 x 8-12 u, often thick at the base only, and 
becoming abruptly slender and cylindrical; excipulum parenchy- 
matous, cortical cells large, polygonal; asci cylindrical, abruptly 
contracted into a very short pedicel, wall thick, apex rounded, 
not blue with iodine, about 180X17,; spores 8, l-seriate, 
hyaline, continuous, smooth, elliptic-oblong, ends obtuse, wall
