310 FETCH : 



Karstenii, Lister, is included in this fifty-two, but it seelris very 

 probable that it was an Australian, not a Ceylon, gathering ; 

 there are undoubted instances of the inclusion of Australian 

 species in the " Fungi of Ceylon," and it appears as if, when a 

 fungus originated East of Suez, the exact locality was of minor 

 importance. 



I give below a copy of the records in the " Fungi of Ceylon," 

 with re-determinations of the species. The initial numbers 

 are those of Berkeley and Broome's list, while those in brackets 

 are the numbers of Thwaites' coUection. I am indebted to the 

 late Mr. Arthur Lister for the information with regard to the 

 Kew and British Museum collections. The measurements 

 given by Berkeley and Broome are in decimals of an inch. 



732. Lycogala afjine, B. & Br. Globosum, punctatum, sporis 

 minutis leviter echinulatis (No. 82). On dead wood. Spores 

 •0002 in diameter, whereas those in L. epidetidrum are "00028- 

 •0003. 



No specimen in Herb. Pex'adeniya : not found by Lister in 

 Herb. Kew, or Herb. British Museum : type in Herb. Berk. 

 Kew, No. 10702, is iy. mwia^wm, Pers., fide Massee,Mon., p. 121. 



733. L. epidenilrum, Buxb. (Nos. 314, 315, 316). On dead 

 wood. Nuwara Eliya, 6,000 feet. Spores -0003 in diameter. 



314 apparently is not in any lier barium. 



315 is Lycogala flavofuscum. Rest., in Kew 1732. 



316 is immature Lycogala miniatum, Per.s., in Herb. 

 Peradeniya 



734 L. nitidum, B. & Br. Peridio tenerrimo griseo nitido, 

 ore stellatim rupto, sporis pallidis (No. 313). 



313 is Lycogala conicum, Pers., in Kew 1729, and in Herb. 

 Peradeniya. 



735. L. atropurpureum, B. & Br. Peridiis ovatis atropur- 

 pureis apice palHdis, sporis globosis hyalinis (No. 254). On 

 dead wood. Nuwara Eliya, 6,600 feet. Placed provisionally in 

 this genus. Fixed at the base by an orbicular stratum of 

 sarcode, of which there is often a trace on the truncate apices : 

 rather rough or furfuraceous. About the size of Sphceria 

 bombarda. Probably a new genus. 



254 is Lycogala cenicum, Pers., in Kew 1730, and in Herb. 



Peradeniya.
