Growing on old wood of Oak, Maple, etc. The fertile 

 branches are 200-250 mic. in length by 6-7 mic. in thickness. 

 The spores have the appearance of being furnished with a 

 short pellucid pedicel. This is an elegant species. 



7. Hklicomvcks clarus, Morg.. n. sp. Effused, forming 

 a thin, tonientose, ])inkish-white stratum. Hyplue creeping, 

 septate, branched, hyaline, with the spores terminal on short, 

 lateral branches. ,Spores linear, hyaline, guttulate, in linear 

 series, coiled irreg- 

 ularly ; the thread 

 180- 220 mic. in 

 length, about 4.5 

 mic. thick at the 

 thickest part and ta- 

 pering gradual!}' to 

 each end ; the ex- 

 tremities obtuse. 

 (Fig. 7.) 



Growing on old 

 pod of Tecoma radi- 

 cans. The hyplut 

 creep very close to 

 the substratum. 

 Most of the spores 

 in the specimen were 

 pellucid and contin- 

 uous ; the large ellip- 

 tic, shining guttuke of the well-developed spores are quite 

 characteristic. 



<S. Hi<:ijco.MVCK.s pn.KCiANS, Morg., n. sj>. Effused, form- 

 ing a thin, flocculose stratum, flesh colored or pale rose-color. 

 Hyphie creeping, septate, much branched, brownish-hyaline, 

 bearing the spores on lateral teeth and at the apex of lateral 

 branches. vSpores linear, hyaline, irregularly coiled, nuilti- 

 septate (40-50) ; the septa commonly indistinct : llic cell-con- 

 tents broken and confused; threads 240-310 mic. in length, 

 5-6 mic. thick in the middle, tapering gradually to 3-4 mic. at 

 each obtuse extremity. (Eig. S.) 



Growing on old bark and wood of I'latanus, Acer, etc. 

 The bright-colored stratum is composed entirely of the very 



I'ig.
