100 MR. G. MASSEE—REDESCRIPTIONS OF 
forming the cortex; asci narrowly clavate, pedicel slender, 70- 
80 x 8 p, apex slightly narrowed, not blue with iodine ; spores 8, 
1-seriate, hyaline, smooth, globose, 3°5-4 diameter; paraphyses 
filiform, septate, not thickened at the tips. 
Growing in the axils of the leaves at the tips of the shoots of 
Macromitrium sulcatum, Brid. Ceylon (Thwaites, n. 1219). 
The present distinct species will in future be known as Motui- 
SIELLA APICALIS. 
Peziza (Morrista) ANDRopoGonts, Berk. & I. A. Curt. in 
Grevillea, iii. (1875) p. 158. (Pl. 4. fig. 19.) 
Scattered or gregarious, at first subglobose and closed, gradu- 
ally expanding until quite plane, attached by a central point; 
externally blackish, glabrous; disc yellowish-bay, 3-7 mm. across; 
hypothecium and excipulum formed of delicate, interwoven 
hyphe, running out into a dark-coloured cortex of parallel cells ; 
asci clavate, apex rounded, pore blue with iodine, narrowed 
below into a slender pedicel, wall rather thick, about 100 x 15 p 
spores 8, obliquely 2-seriate, hyaline, narrowly elliptical, ends 
narrowed, 3-septate, straight or sometimes very slightly curved, 
19-20 x 5-6 » ; paraphyses slender, septate, often more or less 
branched, very slightly or not at all thickened at the tips. 
Belonium Andropogonis, Sace. Syll. viii. n. 2035. 
On dead culms of Andropogon. Lower Carolina (Curtis, 
n. 5045). 
This species is supposed to be represented in the following 
exsiceati :—Ellis, N. Amer. Fung. n. 61; Rabenh.-Winter, 
Fung. Eur. 3169; Rehm, Ascom. n. 609. The specimens are 
all of American origin, and furnished by Mr. J. B. Ellis; and, 
furthermore, so far as I can ascertain by careful examination, 
show no trace of a Discomycete of any kind, but all agree in 
having an apparently undescribed species of Schizothyrella—a 
mistake which I leave to one or other of the parties concerned to 
rectify. 
7 Prziza (Moxuista) rracta, Berk. & M. A. Curt. in Grevillea, 
iii. (1875) p. 158. (Pl. 5. figs. 22-24.) 
Erumpent, scattered, gregarious, or sometimes crowded and 
forming short lines, about ‘5 mm. when quite expanded, at first 
globose and furnished with a minute pore, externally glabrous, 
blackish-olive, dise grey ; asci cylindrical, apex narrowed, pore
