Pileus fleshy, thick, compact, convex or nearly plane, viscid, some- 

 what shining and slightly innately fibrillose when dry, pale tawny 

 ochraceous, flesh white, taste mild ; lamellae thin, close, eroded on the 

 edge, yellow becoming brownish cinnamon ; stem short, stont, firm, 

 abruptly bulbous, silky fibrillose, whitish with ferruginous stains at 

 the base; spores somewhat pointed at the ends, 10-12x5-6 jx.

Among fallen leaves in woods. Humphreys gorge, Lewis co.

 Rensselaer. February. S. H. Burnham. 



Cytospora salicis (Cd.) Rabenh. 

 Dead branches of willows. Orient Point. May. R. Latham. 



Dasyscypha sulphuricolor n. sp. 



Cups sulfur color, gregarious or subcespitose, subsessile, 1-3 

 mm broad, minutely villose, hymenium plane or convex, margined 

 by the incurved edge of the cup ; asci subcylindrical, 70-80 x 3-4 p ; 

 spores oblong or subfusiform, 10-12 x 2-3 /x, paraphyses filiform. 



Decaying wood of black ash, Fraxinus nigra Marsh. 

 Remsen, Oneida co. August. The species is apparently related to 

 Dasyscypha pulverulenta ( Lib. ) Sacc. but it differs from 

 it in its larger size, longer asci and spores and in its habitat. 



Deutzia scabra Thunb. 

 The rough leaved deutzia is plentiful along the stream at Copake 

 Iron Works, Columbia co. July. S. H. Burnham. It has evidently 

 escaped from cultivation but is apparently well established. Occa- 

 sionally double flowered specimens are seen, which indicates that 

 such plants grew from branchlets of Deutzia scabra var. 

 plena Maxim, which had taken root and developed into shrubs.
