GODRONIA 321 



Illustrations: Mycologia 37: 337 (lower figure). 



Described from the material in the herbarium of The New- 

 York Botanical Garden, collected by C. H. Peck at Hewitt's 

 Pond in July (the year not indicated), at first thought to be new 

 but later found to be as above. 



Belonidium Macounii was described from material collected 

 on dead stems of Spiraea Menziesii in Vancouver Island by John 

 Macoun. Through the kindness of Dr. Dearness a portion of 

 the type has been examined. It is a Godronia. The description 

 of the spores fits this species but from the specimen examined 

 they resemble more closely those of Godronia Urceolus.
