Feziza (Dasyscypha) Agassizii. B. 4' C. — Fasciculate, stipitate, 

 erumpent; cups at length open and infundibuliform, externally 

 clothed with a whitish tomentum ; disc flattened, orange ; stem 

 rather long. Asci subscylindrical, sporidia elliptic or oval, about 

 two-thirds as broad as long.

Allied to P. calycina, sporidia -00025--0003 in. (-0065- 

 0075 m.m.) long. 



Feziza (Sarcoscypha) pellita. C. # P.— Sessile, subglobose then 

 expanded, at length splitting in a radiate manner into four or five
