TÜLAvARIOPSIS PULCHELLA Pat. & Har. in Bull. Soc. Myce. Fr. xxviii. 
1912, 280. Mont Koghi; 1000 ft. April 797. 
No spores are present on these specimens, which are preserved in formalin, 
but the macroscopic characters agree with those described for C. pulchella. 
Only recorded from New Caledonia. 
CLaAvARIOPSIS sp. Ignambi: 1500 it. Aug. 1683. 
Although the specimens are not in sufficiently good condition for deter- 
mination, it seems worth while putting the occurrence on record, as so few 
species of this genus are known. The plants are cæspitose, 2-3 cm. high, 
and more or less dichotomously branched, usually in one plane so as to form 
flattened expansions. The substance is very firm, and the colour when 
fresh dingy yellowish-white. Possibly the species is C. pinguis Holterm., 
but no spores are present, and it has not been possible to trace the varying 
forms of basidia described by Holtermann.

on dead wood in forest ; 3500 ft. Aug. 1628. 
In these specimens the columella is not limited to the base of the fruit- 
body as Patouillard figures it. It tapers gradually upwards, and passes 
imperceptibly into the gleba near the upper surface. The cavities of the 
gleba are small, hence the head is rather firm to the touch. The colour of 
the peridium when fresh is described as “ light scarlet.” Spores 12-15 x 
6-9 u. 
Only known from New Caledonia.

Ermitage Stream. Jan. 190. Mont Mou. March. 709. Tortine ; 2000 ft. 
Sept. 1952. 
On dead logs in forest. These specimens also show a columella of varying 
development. In one case it reaches to the top of the fruit-body, and is 
continuous with the peridium as in Seeotium. All the specimens being 
young, the mode of dehiscence is not evident, and it has not been possible to 
ascertain the relationship between this genus and Secotium. 
The colour appears to vary in the fresh state, for while the formalin 
specimens do net differ from one another in microscopic details, the collector's 
notes give No. 190 as “ peacock-blue," No. 709 “dull green," and No. 1952 
* dark blue.”
