WE have feen but little of this Fungus. It fcarcely^ 

 forms a fphxrule; yet from analogy we fuppofe it 

 may, and we figure it here that it rnay lead to further 

 inveftigation.

VERY frequent on decaying oak, fycamore, and 

 other leaves. We have alfo found it on the ftalks of 

 fmall plants. It forms little black dots on the outer 

 furface of the leaves, which are connecSted, 3, 4, or 

 more together, by a black compact fubftance under 

 the cuticle.

Fig. I. SPHyERIA coriacea. 



1 HE leathery afpedl of this Spharia fuggefted its 

 name. It is compofed of a number of egg-fhaped 

 capfules of different fizes, with the points downwards; 

 the upper or broader part often as it were pulhed in.

THE prefent Spharia came accompanied with Lichens 

 on fragments of the fhiftofe rock from Ludlow, by 

 favour of Dr. Babington. It is a fimple fphaerule, 

 ftanding almoft loofe upon the rock.

THE penetrating eye of the Rev. W. Kirby difcovered 

 this minute Fungus on the cores of apples. We here 

 beg leave to correct the name of Spharia decorticans, 

 E. Fungi, t. 137, fent by the fame gentleman, which 

 has been unluckily printed S. decorticata.

THIS alfo was fent me by the Rev. W. Kirby. It 

 may be known on the upper fide of the leaf, by a 

 little filmy covering over the mouth, fometimes per- 

 forated in the middle, and a rifing black circle round it. 

 It penetrates the leaf in a curious manner, forming a 

 black fpot or ring on the under fide.
