A very interesting comparison of JV. ¢enerum with our three 
species confirms the specific rank of all, and especially of V. 
megalosporum (Aust.), which Lindberg had referred to it as a syno- 
nym. In sending specimens to M. Philibert, I called his attention 
to the fact that the spore-measurements of WV. megalosporum are 
double the size of those given by Limpricht for MV. cenerum, but 
having poor specimens of the latter, I could not make the com- 
plete series of comparisons which he has made. The descrip- 
tions will be found very complete, and include N. equinoctiale,
