at certain points, giving them a moniliform appearance. 

 Certain round bodies found associated were supposed to be 

 oospores, and the fungus itself was supposed to be related to 

 the PeronosporciC. Other specimens, consisting mainly of large 

 numbers of spore-like bodies, were thought to be allied to 

 Myxomycetes. Their size and appearance agreed "almost 

 exactly" with that of existing species. 



Still a third paper, of a more recent date, is by Prof. R. 

 Pvtheridge.* In this a new genus is established for the recep- 

 tion of a species of fungus found in specimens of Stenopora 

 crenita, under the name of Faheoperone, the specific name being 

 endophytica. The species is regarded as belonging to the 

 Saprolegniaceae T.] 



Still more recently, Mr. H. Herzer has publishedr a de- 

 scription of what he calls a fungus from the Coal Measures of 

 Ohio, under the name of Incoloria sectiriformis. The specimen 

 was found beneath the bark of a species of Sigillaria. It is 

 of quite an anomalous character, and its true relations can 

 not be ascertained from the published figure and description.
