On the bark of holly, near Lyndhnrst, New Forest (Crombieand

 Leight. Lieh. Br. Fl., p. 401. 



In addition to these, Nylander has also described another new 

 British species in bis Obs. Lich. Pyr. Or, p. 70, viz. : — 



6. Pertusaria urceolaria. JV>J. — Thallus whitish, thin, areolatn- 

 rimose, snbpapilloso-exasperate, on the surface effuse, K + at 

 first yellow, then orange-red ; apotbecia black, urceolato-depressed ; 

 spores l-4na?, blackish, 0,100-0,140 m.m. long, 0,050-75 m.m. 

 thick, K + violet. 



On walls, La Moye, Jersey (Larbalestier, June, 1873). This 

 interesting species is allied to P. spilomantha, Nyl. 



Anew Bubspecies is also recorded in the ''Flora,"/. c. t p. 16, 

 viz. : — 



Lecidea subincompta* oribata. Nyl.— Thallus greyish-brown, 

 thinly subgranuloso-verrucose ; spores 3-5 septate, 0,023-40 mm.

On the ground, Ben Lawers (Dr. Stirton). 



HUNGARIAN FUNGI. 



In your notice of Messrs. Schulzer and Kalcbbrenner's plates of 

 Hungarian Fungi, p. 127, you particularize one plant as Agaricus 

 (annularia) Fenzlii. Sch. This plant comes under my subgenus 

 Chamceota, as originally published by me in the " Journal of 

 Botany," vol. viii., p. 213, and where I refer A. xantliogrammus, ces. 

 to it. Messrs. S. & K. must be aware that the mere manuscript 

 name (" Mpt.p. 1079") of Schulzer' s cannot, by any law of priority, 

 stand, and it is the more, inexcusable from the fact of Messrs. 

 S. & K. actually referring to my remarks published under Cham- 

 ceota. Agaricus Fenzlii must in future stand as A. (Chamceota) 

 Fenzlii, and this becomes more important as the many new Agarics 

 are day after day described from different parts of the world. 

 Professor Fries also informs me that A. macrocephalus, Schulzer, 

 has already been described by Lasch, No. 240. 



WORTHINGTON G. SMITH. 



Ague Plant. — American Botanists are of opinion that the 

 plant found in marshes by Dr. Bartlett, and which is considered 

 to be intimately associated with Ague, belongs to the genus 

 Botrydium ("Grevillea," pi. 7.), the Hygrogastrum, ol* Raben- 

 horst.
