Clavarias of the United States and Canada 151 



in still another collection made in the same place in 1917 they are 

 5-5.5 x 11. 5-12. 5[i.. From two good plants in Bresadola's her- 

 barium we think he has referred this species to C. pallida Schaeff. 

 Both are from coniferous woods and were collected by him. Of 

 one he says "in growth pale flesh color, soon becoming whitish- 

 alutaceous." The spores are smooth or nearly so, 4-5.5 x 8.5-1 1[/.. 

 If the type of C. extensa Herfell (Hedwigia 52 : 391. 1912) exists 

 it should be compared with the present species. 



Farlow's figure of C. aurea (see below) is much more like 

 this species than it is like our C. aurea.

Two plants, 7-8 cm. high, 5-6 cm. wide, rather upright; stem
