with the genus CypheUa. I am inclined to think that both 

 may be considered as synonymous with the present species. 

 At least there is a very strong resemblance. The particular 

 specimens I have now in view, which in the same spot varied 

 from white and yellow to grey, are clearly Cantharellus fissilis, 

 Fr. The hymenium of perfect individuals is that of a Can- 

 thurellus, while the younger plants would certainly be referred 

 partly to Peziza Campanula, partly to Peziza Cupula. On ash 

 petioles, Apethorpe. I have found it also of a pure white with 

 a remarkable venous hymenium on a dead thistle. 



77- Merulius tremellosus, Schrad., Fr. Syst. Myc. vol. i. 

 p. 327. On an ash stump abundantly, Apethorpe, Oct. 1837- 

 I think that Boletus arboreus, Sow., t. 346. belongs to this 

 species, though referred after Fries in Eng. Fl. to Mer. lachry- 

 mans. It appears that Sowerby had no doubt that the two 

 plants figured by him were distinct, and it may be inferred 

 from the short printed notice which accompanies the plate, 

 that his plant had the border reflected, as indeed the figure 

 shows, though not quite satisfactorily.

80. Thelephora Icevis, Pers. Syn. p. 575. Common upon 

 fallen trees. 



81. Thelephora lactea, Fr., Syst. Myc. v. i. p. 452. Easily 

 known by its smooth white hymenium, covering a stratum con- 

 sisting of thick fibrillae. I do not think with Fries that Fibril- 

 laria stellata, Sow. t. 387. fig. 1. belongs to this species. It 

 appears rather to be an himantioid mycelium. 



*82. Clavaria pistillaris, Linn. Suec. n. 1266. This rare 

 species occurred at King's ClifFe in the present autumn, but 

 a much paler form than that represented by Sowerby.

84. Typhula ? gracilis, Desm. and Berk, in Herb. This 

 curious little plant, which occurred, but sparingly, in the early 

 part of the present year with Pistillaria culmigena, I found
