same genus belongs Melanconium melanoxanthum. B. & Br., 

 and Phceodiscula gonospora, Penz. & Sacc, with its sub-species 

 atrata, atratula, and minutella. Apparently Graphiola macros- 

 pora, Penz. & Sacc, Melanconium profundum, Penz. & Sacc, 

 and M. Yatay, Speg., are other species of Endocalyx : indeed 

 these last seven names appear to be all synonyms of M. 

 melanoxanthum. A paper on this genus is in course of 

 preparation. 



Peziza ruherrima, B. & Br., is. jide Massee, a collapsed 

 Lycogala : Aschersonia mellea, B. & Br., is a small agaric 

 {Pleurotus .?) : " Tricholoma nudum " is a pink-spored agaric : 

 Lepiota alphitochroa, B. & Br., is a PsaUiota, identical with 

 Psilocyhe canorubra, B. & Br. : Bovista. nelutina, B. & Br., is 

 an unopened geaster •. " Lycoperdon atropurpureum " is L. 

 gemmatum, Batsch : Hydnocystis Tkwaitesii is a Genea : 

 Sclerocystis coremioides, B. & Br. (new species and genus), is a 

 very common minute sclerotium : the sheet which is supposed 

 to contain Lycoperdon pusillum, Bull., and L. conspurcatum. 

 B. & Br., contains nothing but (unrecorded) L. pur purascens , 

 Berk. : '' Psathyrella disseminata'^ is a very common Psathyra, 

 and has apparently been described as Psathyrella under 

 several other names : Tuber Zeylanicum is a sclerotium, 

 probably the same as Sclerocystis coremioides. Many species 

 are founded on specimens which Berkeley and Broome calmly 

 state are immature, e.g., Dothidea Barringtonice, Sphceria 

 acanthigera, Sphceria chloronema. but this has not prevented 

 a later shuffle into other genera : Volvaria geaster is so imma- 

 mature that it was not recognized as an agaric until it was 

 cut open. 



The so-called Eurotium diplocyslis, B. & Br., resembles a 

 small group of immature puff balls with the mycelium attached, 

 and is probably the same as the specimens named Pauroco- 

 tylis : it is certainly not Eurotium. Helotium melleum, B. & 

 Br. , from Ceylon is {fide Massee) a corticolous lichen : there is 

 however a totally different Helotium melleum. B. & Br., from 

 Scotland.
