/S. On dead shoots of PhUaddphus coronarius. Apethorpe, Norths., 



abundantly, llev. AT. J. Berkeley My specimens accord altogether 



with those of Fries, who at present appears not to have described the 

 form on the mock-orange. The papilla is blacki.^h, bursting the epi- 

 dermis longitudinally and frequently itself longitudinal, somewhat 

 approaching, in this respect, JMAcaosTOM.*:.

 grows on sycamore ; the specimen, however, whicli I have seen from

On ash twigs. Spring. King's Cliffe, Norths. licv.M.J. Berliclaj. 

 On sticks used for marking seeds. — Easily known when perfect by the 

 grey-frosted j)erit/iccia, which are dee[)ly umbilicate beneath, by coUap- 

 sion, and separate, together with the epidermis, from the inner bark. 

 Sometimes, however, they are retaineil by the bark and in that case the 

 mealiness is seen only with great difficulty. Ostiula bursting through 

 the cuticle and making the matrix rough like a nutmeg-grater, [lierccd 

 with a round, depressed orifice.
