Rev. M. J. Berkeley on some Fungi from St. Domingo. 199 



seen, seems to be the main distinction of that species. No. 62 

 is merely decomposed bark with a few scattered specks of the 

 same fungus. 



44. Calocera divaricata, Berk. Lond. Journ. Bot. vol. i. p. 140 ; 

 Salle, no. 70. Var. ramis magis erectis. On twigs, amongst 

 leaves, &c. 



The specimens are far finer than Dr. Hortman's, and have all 

 the ramuli more erect, but I see no essential difference. The 

 stem is divided from the base, and is clothed below with white 

 down, as is indeed the case in the Surinam plant. 



45. Exidia hispidula. Berk, in Annals of Nat. Hist. vol. iii. 

 p. 397 j Salle, no. 63. On bark. I see no difference between 

 this and Auricularia lenta^ Fries ! 



46. Exidia Auricula Indce^ Fries, Ep. p. 590 ; Salle, no. 79. 

 On dead wood. Only two or three small specimens. 



47. Clathrus crispus, Turpin, Berk. Ann. of Nat. Hist. vol. ix. 

 p. 446. tab. 1 1 ; Salle, no. 65. On the ground. 



48. Lycoperdon gemmatum, Fr. Syst. Myc. vol. iii. p. 36; 

 Salle, no. QQ, On the ground.

 Salle, no. ^1 , On the ground. 



Exactly according with Mr. Darwin's specimens from Bio 

 Negro, Patagonia. The spores are very shortly pedicellate, and 

 about -g-joyth of an inch in diameter. In the St. Domingo spe- 

 cimens the orifice is strongly marked like that of the common 

 Tulostoma. 



50. Stemonitis ferruginea, Ehrenb. Silv. Ber. p. 26. f. 6 A, B j 

 Salle, no. 69. On dead leaves. 



This seems to be exactly what Corda figures as S. typhoides. 

 The spores are about ^^ Vo^^^ ^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^ diameter. 



51. Cyathus microsporus, Tul. Ann. d. Sc. Nat. 1844; Salle, 

 no. 71. On branches of trees. 



The spores of this species are much smaller than in others. My 

 micrometer gives their longer diameter ^^gjo^^ ^^ ^^ inch, which 

 is -0078 mm. 



Tulasne gives the measurement -0066 mm. His specimens, 

 like the present, are from St. Domingo. 



52. Aschersonia turhinataj n. s. Stromatibus turbinatis sur- 

 sum liberis excavatis deorsum connatis; sporis breviter fusifor- 

 mibus. Salle, no. 75. On leaves, generally confined to the 

 upper surface. 



Forming little scattered fascicles about 2 lines high, consisting 

 of three or four turbinate bodies which are connate below, exca- 

 vated above, even or granulated externally ; margin acute, some- 

 times strongly plicate ; disc more or less wrinkled and furrowed, 

 studded with the orifices of the perithecia, which are sometimes
