NEW SPH_EOPSIDE_E FEOM SCOTLAND. 

 By Prof. JAMES W. H. TRAIL 



In venturing to describe as new certain fungi that I have found 

 near Aberdeen, in January 1885, I have not forgotten that they 

 belong to a group, the members of which are probably only con- 

 ditions of Pyrenomycetes ; yet they are sufficiently distinct from 

 those previously described to make it desirable to denote them by 

 special designations. I have compared them with the collections 

 in the Kew Herbarium and with the descriptions in the recently- 

 published third volume of Saccardo's Sylloge Fungorum. Dr. 

 M. C. Cooke has also kindly informed me that he believes them 

 to be undescribed. 



The classification employed in Saccardo's work cannot be re- 

 garded as more than artificial and provisional, yet it is usually 

 convenient ; and in the work are collected descriptions of all the 

 known Sphaeropsidese (several probably repeated oftener than once 

 under different names). The new species fall naturally enough 

 into the genera there adopted, and I shall therefore refer them to 

 these genera as follows : —
