PALAWAN, Taytay, Merrill 9076 (type), May, 1913. On very old pros- 
trate logs; same locality, Merrill 8756, April, 1918. On dead stump; Malam- 
paya Bay, Merrill 8940, May, 1918. On dead logs; Lake Manguao, Merrill 
8955, April, 19138. On dead decorticated Fagraea fragrans.

forest. 
\ 
NUMMULARIA URCEOLATA Rehm.

Sporidia 13-18 » long, 7-9 » broad. In the larger stromata 
the loculi do not always occupy all parts of them. They often 
leave a part of the stroma sterile and flat. The smallest stro- 
mata usually contains one loculus only. Hypoxylon Chusquiae 
P. Henn. certainly does not differ from H. culmorwm Cke.
