name 



tiaceae sKoiild be adopted. It is sharply defined by tbe gelatinous 



mvceimm 



and by the remarkable propagula, Mangin and Patouillard are 

 of opinion that the absence of mycelium is sufl&ciently important 

 to warrant the separation of Atichia from other Ascomycetes. 

 They regard the family as an autonomous type parallel to the fila- 

 mentous Ascomycetesy and they suggest that it represents an abor- 

 tive offshoot of the Florideae.
