On a decayed apple-tree, Llysdulas Garden, Anglesea, Rev. H, 

 Davies. In a fir-plantation at Beeston, Notts., Rev. M. J. Berkeley, 

 " Small, at first entirely resupinate, gradually reflexed, and some- 

 what repand, at first sparingly clothed with dirty-white down, at length 

 rugose, 1 — 3 inches broad. Spines short, acute, entire, becoming pale." 

 Fr. I. c. The spines in my specimens are rather longer than they are 

 represented in Sowerby's figure. Persoon describes it as growing on 

 the trunks of pines. 



9. H.fuscum, VevB. {shining -toothed Hydnum) ; effused rufous- 

 brown, margin paler coarsely byssoid, spines long quite entire 

 close very acute shining as if varnished. Pers. Myc. Eur. v, 2,

On wood, Wrabness, Essex ; Rev. R. T. Lowe — The present 

 species, with which I am acquainted only from specimens communi- 

 cated by my friend Mr. Lowe, appears to be the plant of Persoon 

 noted above. In its dry state it is rather thicker than other effused 

 species and is remarkable for the long dark rufous-brown spines, which 

 shine as if varnished. These are represented in the figure as rather 

 broader than they are in my specimens.

 httle areolae', each of which bears a fascicle of spines.

On decayed trunks of trees, stumps, &c. Coleshill, Mr. Bree, 

 Edinburgh, Dr. Greville. Cotterstock, Norths, Rev. M. J. Berkeley. 

 —The whole plant consists of densely-woven down, formmg an effused 

 indeterminate mass, the hymenium composed of erect or obhque spines 

 which are villous and frequently abortive, so as easily to be taken for 

 some species of the suborder Hyphomycetes, The colour varies from 

 ferruginous to brownish.
