344. PrzizA ($ GEOPHYXIS) ALUTICOLOR, Berk. (F. M. Bailey, по. 432.) 
345. PEZIZA ($ ОттрЕА) АРОРНУЗАТА, Cooke & Phillips, Mycographia, fig. 350. 
We have placed our plant under this species, as it agrees in every respect with 
Dr. Cooke's characters, except in the paraphyses which are unbranched, resembling 
those of P. pleurota, Phillips. Mr. Phillips, to whom the specimen was submitted, con- 
siders that the difference is not sufficient to constitute a new species. Melbourne (Miss 
F. Campbell, no. 123). 
346. TYMPANIS TOOMANSIS, Berk. & Broome,n.sp. (Plate XXIX. figs. 18-21.) Erum- 
pens, primo farinosa, sphzeriz formis, dein stipitata, disco aperto cretaceo, margine 
incurvo. 
This curious species occurred on the cones of some species of Banksia. It grows in a. 
crowded manner, resembling at first an erumpent Spheria, afterwards it develops a 
stem about 2 lines high, with an open chalky disk and anincurved margin. It is clothed 
externally with a chaffy, dirty white tomentum. "The asci areimmature ; but a few ovate 
bodies resembling sporidia occur, they have not, however, been seen within the asci. 
The plant contracts much in drying, and the substance is very tough. We have placed 
it provisionally in Zympanis, as it resembles that genus in habit and consistence. It 
was found on the banks of the river Tooma. (Miss F. Campbell, no. 23.) 
347. HyPOMYCES AURANTIUS, Tul. Brisbane (F. M. Bailey, no. 476). 
348. HyPOMYCES CHRYSOSPERMUS, Tul. Brisbane (F. М. Bailey, по. 449). 
949. XYLARIA HYPOXYLON, Grev. Melbourne (Miss Е. Campbell, no. 98). 
350. HypoxyLton ВАТ, Berk. & Broome (Nummularia Baileyi, Cooke). (Plate 
XXIX. figs. 22 & 23.) Erumpens, orbiculare, cupulatum; margine incrassato-elevato; 
disco ostiolis prominulis exasperato ; peritheciis elliptico-ovatis, centro immersis ; 
ascis cylindricis ; sporidiis ellipticis, fuscis, 013—02 mm. longis. On wood, Bris- 
bane (F. М. Bailey, по. 428). Cooke in Grevillea, xii. p. 6. 
351. HYPOXYLON FLAvO-FUSCUM, Berk. & Broome, n. sp. (Plate XXIX. figs. 24-27.) 
Convexum, flavo-fuscum, farinosum, ostiolis nigris, prominentibus punctatum, intus 
album. 
Convex, irregularly lobed, of a red-brown colour, sprinkled with shining particles, 
dotted with the black, obtuse, prominent ostiola ; from 2 to 3 lines across. Asci linear, 
containing 8 ovate, dark brown, smooth sporidia, 00007 to 0:0008 inch long, in a single 
row. This species seems to be nearly related to Н. pulchellum and H. commutatum, 
Saccardo, Fungi Veneti, nos. 147 and 148; the former, however, grows on beech-wood, 
and the sporidia are boat-shaped, the latter on birch, with much longer and broadly fusi- 
form fruit. This curious species grows on dead roots of grass. Brisbane (F. М. Bailey, 
no. 448). 
352. HYPOXYLON LUTEUM, Fr. (Miss F. Campbell, no. 148.) 
353. DOTHIDEA FIMBRISTYLIS, Berk. & Broome. (Plate XXIX. figs. 28-30.) D. ошм» 
nigro, epidermate tecto, ostiolis granulato.
