Eastern Massachusetts as Zudercularia pesizoidea Schw. makes the 
following note: “ This is not a true 7udercularia, but is an anoma- 
lous and probably immature form of some high order. It is found, 
however, all over the United States in precisely the same condi- 
tion, specimens from Lake Superior and Massachusetts do not 
differ at all.” In 1875 in Grevillea,‘ there is a description of a 
Hypocrea, where it is stated that it and the Zuderculania per 
zoidea of Schweinitz are identical. This was named Hypocrea 
Richardsoni Berk. & Mont. I have been unable to find any note 
as to Montagne’s connection with this species, the paper 10 Gre- 
villea being by Berkeley, and the earliest one in which the nan 
Hypocrea Richardsoni occurs, as far as I have been able to ascertain. 
Since then the fungus has been reported under one of ie? 
two names by various writers. Cooke’, and Paoletti® give ye 
Tubercularia pezizoides, Frost’ uses the name, Hypocrea Richar - 
soni in 1869, six years previous to its publication (eid 
manuscript name.) It is mentioned as this furthermore by Tuc 
erman and Frost®, Fowler’, Day”, Arthur'!, Cobb”, Kelsey mt Rag :
