Genus 8. Eurotium Link. 



2o. E. herbariorum (Wiggers) Link (M.S. 1S45). — 

 On damp plants in herbaria! only too common; also 

 on decaying vegetable matter of all kinds. 



Tweed, Solway, Forth, Clyde, Tay! Argyle, Dee! 

 Moray, Ross, Orkney! 



Nearly cosmopolitan. 



24 E.^ fulvescens Cooke (M.S. 1846) (D. and R. 

 Cooke). — On old sacking, in autumn, at Dapplin, near 

 Perth. 



Tay. 



Genus 9. Penicillin in Link. 



25. Penicillium crustaceum (L.) Fr. (M.S. 1465, 

 conidial stage). — On moist decaying substances, very 

 plentiful all the year through. 



Tweed, Solway! Forth, Clyde, Tay! Dee! Moray, 

 Orkney ! 



Cosmopolitan. 



I am not awai-e that the asci of this fungus have been de- 

 tected in Scotland. 



Genus 10. Apiosporium Kunze. 



26. Apiosporiuni Abietis Cooke (Grevillea, vol. 

 IX., p. 94; Scot. Nat. VI., p. 219, nee A. Abietis 

 Kunze in Mycol. Hefte, I., p. 9) (D. and R. Cooke).—- 

 On twigs of living Sfvuce Firs, clothing them with 

 a mass of sooty incrustation resembling a low form 

 of S2:>oridesmiuin. 



Forth (Glencorse). 



This has been referred by Saccardo to his genus Meliola ; but 

 it differs too much from the type of that genus to admit of 

 being placed in it. In the meantime it may be permitted to 

 rest in the imperfectly-known genus A23iospo7-iuvi Kvinze ; but 

 if left here its specific name will require to be changed, being 

 already preoccupied by Kunze's A. Abietvi. I venture to 

 siiggest as suitable the name of A. Cookei, in honour of its 

 discoverer. 



Genus 11. Lasiobotrys Kunze. 



27. Lasiobotrys Lonicerae Kimze (M.S. 1824) (D. 

 Keith).— Forms dark spots on leaves of Lonicera 

 Ferichjmenuin ! in autumn.
