8. 9. 1877). It was really found to be the 

 fact, though we found here only three basidia 

 connected to a sympodium. 



That this peculiarity has not formerly 

 been mentioned in literature is evidently 

 due to the fact that Sehacina caesia is very 

 rare, while the sympodium by S. incrnstans 

 is of a less conspicuous shape. 



There is no doubt that our material 

 belongs to S. caesia, though the bluish colour 

 only by moist weather is glaring. In a dry 

 state the fungus becomes fragile and takes 

 a more grayish tinge.

Beloniella biseptata Ferd. et Wge. 



In our diagnosis of this fungus (Bot. Tidsskr. 28. Bd., p. 252) it 

 is stated to grow upon Veronica agrestis L. from the heath a-t B orris 

 in Jutland. The host-plant however was hardly determinable (entirely 

 withered), and as after this time we found the fungus on a specimen of 

 Veronica serpyllifolia L. on sandy ground near the above heath, it be- 

 came probable that the original hostplant belonged to this species. A 

 more exact examination of the material also confirmed this to be the fact. 



Galactinia saniosa Schrad. 



In the wood Marselisborg Skov near Aarhus we found (Aug. 

 1907, July 1908) many individuals of this fungus on different stages of 

 development upon a somewhat clayey gravel-slope in deep beech-shade. 

 The eldest individuals were plate-shaped and entirely pressed to the soil. 

 When it is always stated in literature (Cooke, Rehm, Saccardo, 

 Schroeter) that the species becomes at most I cm. in diameter, this 

 measure is evidently being too little; our greatest specimens had namely 

 a diameter of 3 cm., and a statement by Boudier (Histoire et classifica- 

 tion des Discomycetes d'Europe 1907, p. 48) also shows that the measures 

 commonly given are too small. At their fullripe stage the spores had 

 the proportions, which are normal for the species (15 x 7,5 fi); the 

 spore-membrane however was not more smooth — as commonly stated 

 — but undulate-warty. 



The milk, which is said to be violet or brownish-violet, was, at least 

 in the young specimens, lively prussian-blue. The secretion of the milk
