One could not expect, in so short a time, to make more than a 
preliminary reconnaissance of the flora of the mountain, and this report 
of my collecting trip is written with a hope that it may form a starting 
point for further notes upon the flora of Moosilauke. Anyone finding 
unrecorded species upon the mountain should, if possible, send speci- 
mens of them to the herbarium at Dartmouth College, which most fully 
represents that interesting region.

NOTES ON A SPECIES OF CYATHUS COMMON IN LAWNS 
AT MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT. 
FLoRENCE M. ANDREWS. 
(Plate 17.) 
OnE species of Cyathus has been frequently found in Middlebury, 
growing on newly-seeded lawns. Without close examination of the 
specimens, they might be referred to Cyathus vernicosus (Bull.) De 
Cand., which is reported to be very common in the United States ; but 
by careful examination and comparison with the excellent figures of 
Cyathus vernicosus in Tulasne’s Monographie des Nidulariées! and 
with a fine set of European specimens of Cyathus vernicosus collected 
in Hungary by Dr. Hollos, which agree well with Tulasne's figures and 
descriptions, it seems evident that the Middlebury specimens are not 
Cyathus vernicosus. Instead they are Cyathus Lesueurit Tul., a species 
originally collected near New Orleans, of which the original description 
with full notes and careful figures is given in Tulasne's Monograph. 
Apparently Cyathus Lesueurit has been but rarely found since its 
original discovery, as may be inferred from the few references which 
are given to it in literature. It was reported by Berkeley and Curtis 
in Notices North American Fungi as collected by Wright in Connec- 
ticut, and a collection from South Carolina was distributed by Ravenel 
in his F. Am. Exs. No. 474.
