OF CHIONYPHE CARTERI. 143 
Note to the above Paper, by the SECRETARY. 
[PLAte XI] 
Since the reading of Mr. Berkeley’s paper, the Secretary has 
been favoured with a letter from Mr. H. J. Carter, enclosing 
tracings of his original drawings of Chionyphe Carteri. From 
these tracings the accompanying woodcut and the figures in 
Plate XI. have been made; and, with Mr. Carter’s permission, 
the substance of the letter is here given, together with an ex- 
planation of the woodcut and Plate :— 
“I send you the tracings of my drawings of the elements of 
the Fungus-disease of India, now called by Dr. H. Vandyke 
Carter ‘ Mycetoma’; and also of the Red Fungus, which appears to 
be its free form, now called by Mr. Berkeley ‘ Chionyphe Carteri.' 
“ The discovery of both forms is due to my friend and namesake 
Dr. H. Vandyke Carter, and all that I have added to his inves- 
tigations (which are chiefly pathological) is a special examination 
of them for the purposes of natural history. 
“In doing this, my object in the accompanying delineations 
has been to give elementary representations of each state of the 
fungus; not of what any single portion placed under the micro- 
scope would afford, but a combination of what is presented gene- 
rally; so that the fungologist may be able at once to see all 
the different elements of which each form of the fungus is 
composed.

actions of the Medical and Physical Society of Bombay,’ — 
No. 6 (new series), p. 104, 1861. 
No. 7 (new series), p. 206, 1862. 
No. 8 (new series), Appendix, p. xxvi, 1863. 
In the latter, Dr. Carter states that he has found the ‘red 
mould,’ i.e. Chionyphe Carteri, growing directly from the ‘ fungus- 
particles’ of Mycetoma. 
“ The little I have written on the subject may be found in the 
same journal (No. 7, Appendix, p. i, 1862); also in the Ann. 
and Mag. of Nat. Hist. vol. ix. p. 442 (June 1862), and at p. 445, 
foot-note, is my diagnosis of the fungus of Mycetoma ; while in the 
‘ Intellectual Observer’ for November 1862, p. 248, will be found 
Mr. Berkeley’s observations on the subject, wherein he calls the 
“red mould’ Chionyphe Carteri. 
“It was from seeing the drawing of Chionyphe, with these ob- 
servations, that I came to the conclusion that the plant had not
