28, *Peziza subgibbosa, x. so.—On dead stems of Andropogon 
lying on the ground, October. Scattered, stipitate, minute, not 
over half a line high, of a dull watery white when fresh, becoming 
darker when dry. Cup of fibrous texture, hemispheric, faintly 
striate, covered with a sparing appressed pubescence. Disk convex 
and paler surrounded by a narrow erect jagged border. Asci 
8-spored, cylindric. Paraphyses rather abruptly thickened at their 
apices, often branched above, Sporidia oblong, obtuse, hyaline, at 
length triseptate .0008’—901’ long, slightly curved, more or less 
crowded or over-lapping. According to Dr. Cooke, very near P. 
vexata, De. Not. 
29. Dermatea tetraspora, n. sp.—On dead limbs of Quercus 
coccinea not yet fallen, March. Erumpent, simple or subcespitose, 
nearly sessile, margined, about oneline broad. Disk plane or slightly 
concaye, dark brown, rough, margin thin and lighter colored. Asci 
rather short, clavate-cylindric, broad, containing four ovate-oblong 
brown sporidia .0008’—001’ x .0006’—0008’ mostly with a large 
central unclens—some of the sporidia are almost spherical, sub- 
hyaline at first with a granular endochrome, at length of a clear 
rich brown. The fungus projects but slightly above the epidermis by 
which it is closely surrounded. 
30. *Dermatea lobata, n. sp.—On White-oak limbs lying on the 
ground but not much decayed, mature in June. Superficial, 
scattered, globose and closed at first, opening at length and ex- 
panding so that the pale glancous disk becomes convex and the 
. margin lacerate-lobed, rufous brown without and roughened with an 
innate-squamose coat. Ascicylindric. Paraphyses thickened at the 
summit, the thickened portion often containing a nuclens. Sporidia 
in a single series, short-oblong or oval, subhyaline, .0005’—0006’ 
long and about .0004’ wide. Most of the specimens were entirely 
superficial, being seated on the epidermis, but a few penetrated to 
the inner bark. : 
31. *Dermatea purpurea, ». sp.—On dead Viburnum, Feb., 
1875.—Rare. Cespitose, erumpent, irregular, dull-purplish-black, 
mealy, darker within. Asci clavate-cylindric. Paraphyses slightly 
thickened at the summit. Sporidia shaped like kidney beans, 
hyaline, obtuse, .0008’.0003’. Resembles D. furfuracea, but 
smaller. Unfortunately the insects have nearly destroyed my spece, 
so that the above notes, taken at the time the specimens were 
gathered, are all I can at present give. 
32. *Patellaria cylindrospora, ». sy.—On decaying Maple, Dec. 
Rare. Scattered, small, black, sessile, thin, shallow, cup shaped, 
smooth, margin incurved. Disk paler. Ascishort and broad clavate, 
nearly sessile. .Paraphyses linear. Sporidia crowded in the asci 
cylindric, straight or slightly curved, obtuse, with 6-8 globose 
nuclei, at length septate. Resembles P. lignyota, Fr., outwardly 
but the sporidia are entirely different. 
33. Hypocrea citrinella, ». s9.—On dead branches of Vaccinium 
corymbosum, October. Scattered or subconfluent, small, mostly 
not over one line broad, orbicular, rugose, light lemon-yellow, sur- 
face punctate by the minute ostiola. Asci linear, Sporidia hyaline,
