178 THE CONIDIA OF FISTULINA. 



have augmented ; when there are two, one of them is always 

 smaller than the other. The rest of the protoplasm is hyaline or 

 very finely granulated ; then the entire protoplasm presents a mass 

 of greasy granulations smaller than the primitive clots which have 

 disappeared, and the conidium gives hirth to a germinative filament, 

 more rarely at the opposed poles. Often it appears that it gives 

 birth to a secondary conidium, the budding produced by it swells, 

 and is slightly constricted at the point where it emerged from the 

 mother conidium, but before it detaches itself, the spherical budding 

 gives birth to the germinative filament. I cannot follow its length 

 beyond '120 mm. At this moment, it has only once presented 

 to me a partition ; the protoplasm which fills it is granular, but 

 does not appear very rich, which may be perhaps attributed to the 

 artificial medium in which the conidia germinated; its medium 

 diameter is "003 mm. 



[The excellent plates which accompany this work are almost 

 necessary to understand the text ; this also depends very much on 

 the context for complete lucidity. The whole work will amply 

 repay a careful perusal.] 



SOME NEW JEKSEY FUNGI. 

 By M. C. Cooke and J. B. Ellis. 



{Plate 68.) 



2297. Hypoxylon serpens. Fries.— On Acer nibriwi, Newfield, 

 New Jersey, as also the following are all from the same locality. 



2298. Kystezium Mori. Schwz.—On wood of Morus. Apparently 

 the species of Schweinitz. 



2299. Hysterium Viticolum. C. <£• P.— On Ruhus. This appears 

 to be the same species as that found in New York on Vitis 

 (fig. 9). 



2300. Feziza virgiuella. C. (No. 2152). — On leaves of Vacci- 

 nium. 



2301. Patellaxia atxata. Fr.— Fruit not mature. On oak limbs. 



2302. Sporidesmium Feziza. C. <k E. — On decorticated oak. 

 Cupulseformis, flavo-viridis, margine atris. Sporis ovatis, 



oblongis, vel pyriformibus, atro-brunneis. (Fig. 5 — a, natural 

 size; 6, section ; c, spores.) 



Resembling a minute Peziza, scarce 1 m.m. broad, greenish- 

 yellow and barren in the centre, with a black margin of ovate, 

 oblong, or pear-shaped, multicellular spores, on short articulated 

 pedicels.
