Perithccia crumpent, minute, very numerous, crowded or scattered, 

 globose, black, some-what shining, at length depressed, corrugated, 

 ostiola papillate, pierced ; spores very minute, oblong, obtuse. — 

 Desm. Ann. des Set. Nat., 1849, vol. xi., j). 282. Cooke Fuwji 

 Britt., No. 619. 



On stems of Verhascum, &Q:. 



Fhoma suboxdinaxia. Desm. 



Peritliecia minute, numerous, subseriate, ovate, convex, covered 

 by the cuticle ; ostiola minute, naked, then deciduous ; spores 

 oblong. — Desm. Ann. des Sci. Nat., 1849, vol. xi., p. 284. Cooke

On Plantago lanceolata. King's Lynn (C P. B.]. 

 Diplodia syxingae. Amd. 



Somewhat gregarious, sometimes in irregular lines, cortical ; 

 peritliecia globose, black, ostiola rather prominent, elevating and 

 piercing the cuticle ; spores elliptical, at length uniseptate and 

 coloured. — Fckt. Fvngi Ehen., 1950, Cooke Fungi Britt., No. 626. 



On twigs of Syririga vulgaris. King's Lynn (C. B. P.). 

 Spoxidesmium cladospoxii. (Corda) FcM. 



Effused in dark olivaceous patches ; spores ovoid, cellular, at 

 length brown and opaque. — Corda Icon. i.,fig. 118. Fckl. Fungi 

 mien., No. 1 10. Cooke Fungi Britt., No. 679. 



On stems of Scrophularia. Darenth, &c. 



Corda was of opinion that this was parasitic on species of Cla- 

 dosporinm. Our specimens accord with those published by Fuckel, 

 but we are doubtful as to its parasitism. 



Fhxagmidiuin. bullatum. West. 



Epicauline. Sori elongated, pulvinate, for a very long time 

 covered with the epidermis, which is rendered bullate, then fissured 

 irregularly, and ultimately thrown off. Pseudospores cylindrical, 

 5-7 septate, mucronate at the apex, epispore rough, pedicel short, 

 hyaline, rather thickened at the base. — Westendorp, Bull, des Brux.
