demum rimoso; spore ellipsoides, deorsum acute, olivacesm, 
12 x 7-8 u.—Cooke, Grev. viii. p. 89. Corticium leucothrix, 
Berk. & Cooke, in Grev. ii. p. 4. (Type in Herb. Berk. n. 4055.) 
On pine. Carolina. 
When old the plant has a tendency to peel off and break away 
in pieces. Berkeley says “ hymenium beset with white bristles,” 
which at the time must have been conspicuous, as suggesting the 
specific name ; but I fail to find any trace of such at present in 
the type specimen. There is certainly nothing of the nature of 
cystidia. 
ContopHora KansTENI, Masse. Effusa, indeterminata ; 
hymenio fusco, pulverulento; spore ellipsoidex, flavo-brunnee, 
12-15 x 6-7 u.—Coniophora fusca, Karst. in Ryssl. Hattsvamp.
