ably the list of Maine species. They are recorded below to- 

 gether with new localities for species reported in previous con- 

 tributions. Monniouthj where Mr. Merrill's specimens were

the order of presentation so far as possible. Numbers above 1 15 

 are accessions to the State list. Those below refer to species men- 

 tioned in previous articles. We are under obligations to Mr. A. 

 P. Morgan, w^ho has kindly given his opinion on specimens sub- 

 mitted to him.

 American locality. . To find it so far cast is interesting. The 

 Plasmodia were small but typical. Found on grass and blackberry 

 leaves on the ground.
