This paper contains some detached observations on different 

 fungi (accompanied by figures), of which the following is a sum- 

 mary : — 



1. Sclerotium compactum, D. C. b. Helianthi Eabh. This 

 Sclerotium, sown in March, produced at the beginning of June a 

 new Peziza, called by the author P. Sclerotii. It is nearly allied 

 to P. Caucus, Fr. 



2. A new species of Actinothyrium (called A. Ci/tisi), on 

 Cytisus sagittalis, Kch. 



3. Remarks on the double fructification of Uredo Alchemillce, 

 proposing a new genus for its reception under the name of 

 Trachyspora. Unless there is some error of observation, which 

 we strongly suspect, the genus seems admissible. 



4. Remarks on the destructive effects of Cytispora riihescens, 

 Fr. upon living plants of Primus Armeniaca. 



5. 6, 7, and 8. Descriptions of new species of Ceratostoma, 

 Dilophospora, Peziza, and Fusidium. The Peziza seems a fine 

 species. It is considered by the author to be allied to P. vogesiaca, 

 M. and N., and P. rhizopus, A. and S. 



9. A new genus, Byssothecium circinans, highly destructive 

 to Medicago sativa. An interesting plant, classed by the author 

 with the Perisporiacei, but apparently more nearly allied to 

 Hendersonia.

M. Muenter saved some specimens of Sclerotium varium in 

 the month of December 1857 ; after the lapse of a year and a 

 half — viz. in July 1859 — the Sclerotium gave rise to a Peziza 

 dift'ering from Feziza tuherosa, Bull, in its pedicel and disk, as
