By v. S. F\rle 



Professor C. F. Baker has placed in my hands for determination 

 a small lot of fungi collected during the fall of 1898 near Santa 

 Marta, United States of Colombia. I am indebted to Mr. A. P. 

 Morgan for the examination of the Xylariaceae and to Dr. P. 

 Dietel for the determination of the Urcdinales, and for the accom- 

 pan}'ing notes on tliem.
