253. PEZIZA CONFUSA, Cooke, in Bullet. Buffalo Acad. vol. ii. p. 291, and Mycog. pl. 32.

pallid and the hairs less developed. Sporidia globose, 0:0005 inch diam. (Cooke, Мусо- 
отара, ii. t. 32. fig. 124.) Brisbane (Е. М. Bailey, по. 166).

256. HELoTIUM TERRESTRE, Berk. & Broome, n. sp. (Plate XV. figs. 15-17.) Parvum, 
planiuseulum, cornicolor luridum, extus villosum ; ascis elongatis, sporidiis uniseri-

Cups $ inch across; stem 3; inch high; sporidia uniseriate, 0:0004 inch long, elliptic, 
with a little globule at each extremity; paraphyses linear, sometimes slightly clavate 
at the tips. Brisbane, on damp earth (Е. M. Bailey, no. 299). 
257. AscoBoLus BAILEYI, Berk. & Broome, п. sp. Cupulis primum ochraceis concavis, 
demum vinoso-brunneis explanatis, extus leviter granulatis, ascis prominentibus, 
sporidiis brunneis ovatis lzevibus, paraphysibus linearibus, 
Cups at first of a dull ochre colour, at length of a vinous brown, flat, with a raised 
and slightly incurved margin, externally granulated, not at all furfuraceous or farinose, 
2-3 lines across when mature; ascirather clavate; sporidia sometimes in one, at others in 
two rows, of a clear hyaline brown colour, 00006 to 0:0007 inch long, ovate or elliptic ; 
paraphyses equal in length to the asci, generally linear, sometimes a little swollen at the 
summit. The projecting asci show it to belong to the Азсобой; it, however, resembles 
Cooke's fig. of Peziza scatigena (Mycographia, fig. 72) ; but it is not farinaceous externally, 
and the sporidia are smaller. It would come under Boudier's genus Ascophanus but 
for the sporidia, which are of a clear distinct brown colour. On dung, Brisbane (F. М. 
Bailey, no. 252).
