324 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1894. 



Coniophora capnoides E. & E. 



On bark of dead maple, London, Canada, Sept., 1892 (Dearness, 

 No. 2,004). 



Very thin, purplish, margin of the same color, much resembling 

 outwardly, Corticium fumigatum, Thuni., only not at all cracked and 

 of a darker color. Spores brownish, smooth, globose, 3-3i'>. diam., 

 or short elliptical, 32-5 x 3-3 j//, borne singly on the apices of short, 

 brown basidia or rather emitted successively from these basidia, in 

 which several spores already formed may be distinctly seen. The 

 subhymenial hyphie are very scanty, and the bark has the appear- 

 ance of having been for some time exposed to smoke. 



Peniopliora Atkinson! E. & E. 



On bark of some deciduous tree, Syracuse, N. Y. (Prof Geo. F. 

 Atkinson). 



Closely adnate, thin, smoky-lilac, or smoky- drab color, surface 

 uneven, 1-3 cm. across. Cystidia subulate-cylindrical, slightly 

 roughened above, 30-40 x 5-7//, projecting above the hyraenium 

 12-20//. Spores hyaline, compressed, elliptical when viewed in 

 front, 4-5x2-3//, suballantoid when seen edgewise, 4-5xli-li'/. 



Corticium alboflavescens E. & E. 



On dead, standing trunk of Kalmia latifolia, Nuttallburg, W. 

 Va., Feb. 1894 (L. W. Nuttall, No. 365). 



At first orbicular, subpezizoid, 1-2 mm. diam., becoming more 

 irregular in shape and 1 cm. or more diam., lower stratum milk- 

 white, consisting of loosely interwoven, branching threads, and ex- 

 tending out beyond the pale-olivaceous or yellowish, membranaceous 

 hymenium so as to form a thin subfimbriate, white margin. Spores 

 abundant, globose, with a single large nucleus, 4-6//. diam., slightly 

 colored. 



The hymenium has only a slight tinge of olive and is perhaps 

 better described as light- drab color. 



Dacryomyces flabella E. & E. 



On a decaying stump, Mercer Island, near Seattle, Wash., Nov., 

 1893 (Adella M. Parker). 



Fan-shaped, deep orange color, gelatinous, l2-2 cm. broad and 

 high, with a short, lateral stipe, suberect with the opposite margins 

 incurved so as to bear some resemblance to Peziza onotica Pers., 

 subtuberculiform, or otherwise irregular in shape when young.
