BERKELEY’S TYPES OF FUNGI. 497 
hyphe, which attach the fungus to the substratum, and also 
form a thin subiculum; asci cylindrical, apex rounded, not 
becoming blue with iodine, about 160 x9-10p; spores 8, 
obliquely 1-seriate, hyaline, smooth, continuous, elliptical, ends 
blunt, 15-17 x 8-9 u; paraphyses numerous, very slender, not 
thickened at the tips. 
Humaria Piggotii, Sace. Syll. viii. n. 545; Massee, Brit. 
Fungus-Flora, vol. iv. p. 407. 
On the plaster ceiling of a cottage. Chelmsford, England 
( H. Piggot). 
Mycelium white, downy, but not spreading widely, running up 
the base of the hemispherical or cyathiform cups, which are 
about 2 lines broad, margin generally acute (Berk. § Broome). 
Peziza (Š Tapesta) ATRO-rUSCA, Berk. $ Curt. in Grevillea, 
' vol. iii. (1875) p. 156. (Pl. XVI. fig. 28.) 
Gregarious, entirely blackish-brown, with a suggestion of 
purple, rather fleshy ; closed at first, then expanding, but the 
margin persistently more or less incurved (when dry); disc 
slightly concave; externally minutely granular, the granules 
arranged in lines, giving a ribbed appearance to the incurved 
margin; cortex parenchymatous, the cells running out in groups 
to form the external granulation ; from the lower portion of the 
external surface of the ascophore numerous stout, septate, dark 
brown hyphe proceed and attach the fungus to the substratum ; 
asci narrowly cylindrical, apex rounded; spores 8, l-seriate, 
continuous, smooth, elliptic-oblong, ends obtuse, often 1-2- 
guttulate, at first hyaline, then tinged pale olive, 8-10 x 4-5 py; 
paraphyses numerous, slender, cylindrical. 
Tapesia atro-fusca, Sace. Syll. viii. n. 1537. 
On rotten pine-wood. Alabama, U.S.A. (Peters, n. 6083). 
The specimens are overrun with a dense pale ochraceous 
mould, which I think has no genetic connection with the Peziza, 
which under a pocket-lens looks like T'riblidiwm rufulum. The 
present species appears to belong to the genus Tryblidiopsis, and 
closely allied to T. Pinastri, Karst., which is represented in the 
Kew herbarium from various parts of the United States. Ihave 
not seen the spores septate. 
Peziza (S TaprsrA) SCARIOSA, Berk. $ Curt. in Grevillea, 
vol. iii. (1875) p. 156. (Pl. XVI. fig. 29.) 
Ascophores forming small, scattered patches consisting of
