XIV.—FUNGI EXOTICI: XVI. 
Three of the new Fungi described have developed on a small 
piece of cattle dung sent from Singapore by Mr. I. H. Burkill 
enclosed in a letter. Pilobolus erystallinus appeared soon after the 
dung was placed under suitable conditions and in the course of time 
the three other fungi, new to science also developed. The three 
other species have been received from Kuala Lumpur, asics 
and the West Indies.
