MYOOGRAPHIA.

found insurmountable. Although the genus Geoglossiim is com- 

 paratively complete in the present number, a number of the group 

 Hmnatna still require illustration, and for assistance with these I 

 seek the aid and co-operation of European Mycologists. 



The printing has been so arranged that hereafter the sequence 

 of plates, with their descriptions, may be arranged and bound in 

 accordance with individual tastes. 



The great increase in the number of species during late years, 

 and the want of uniformity in the determination of species attri- 

 buted to older authors, render some such work as the present 

 necessary. It is hoped that " Mycographia " will prove a welcome 

 aid to mycologists. 



The sporidia in all instances are drawn by camera lucida to an 

 uniform scale, which is given herewith. To the other figures an 

 indication of the enlargement is given. 



It is proposed that a second part should be issued early in the 

 year 1876, and succeeding parts at intervals of about six months. 



In order to complete this section Humaria as far as possible, I am 

 desirous of examining and illustrating such of the following as may 

 be regarded allies, viz. : —

NEW SCOTCH PEZIZA. 



Peziza (Saxcoscypha) copzinaxia. Coolie, 

 Subgregarious, sessile, crimson. Cups hemispherical, soon 

 flattened (1 cm, broad) ; margin slightly elevated, fringed with 

 long pale brown septate hairs ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia elliptical, 

 smooth; paraphyses clavate at the tips, filled with orange granules. 

 On dung. Eannoch. Dr. Buchanan White and Mr. Carrington. 

 A very distinct species. The cups remain flattened in drying, ex- 

 ternal cells very large, hairs ^ ni.m. long. Sporidia -02 x *01- ni.m. 

 The hairs are never stellate as in P. stercorea, nor is the cup so 

 densely hairy, the hairs being confined to the margin. The name 

 of P, hippocopra, under which this species was first reported, has
