Hypoxylon marginatum. Sclnv. — A singular illustration of the 

 wide distribution of some species of fungi was discovered the other 

 day in examining two fragments of Hypoxylon on some bark from 

 Lagos, W. Africa. One of these was the above-named, which 

 occurs in Britain, the United States, Venezuela. Cuba, and now in 

 West Africa. The other very characteristic species appears to be 

 undescribed. 



Feziza vesiculosa. Bull. — Dr. Rehm has issued in his " Ascomy- 

 ceten" specimens of a Peziza which he calls by this name, but 

 which is evidently quite different from Bulliard's species. It is 

 unnecessary to enumerate here all the differences between this, 

 which we have named Peziza Ta?zetta, and the much larger, more 

 sessile species found in this country ; meanwhile, we note the 

 correction.
