REVISION OI- THE SCOTCH I'EKISrORIACEAE. 



Genus Chaetomium Kunze. 



C. elatum Kunze (M.S. 1932).-On decaying stems 

 of herbaceous plants! most common in spring 



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



Throughout Europe and North America. 



C. indicum Corda.— In the spring of 1888 Prof. 

 D'Arcy Thompson sent me from Dundee a piece of 

 jute sacking bearing this fungus. As the sackings 

 had just been imported from Calcutta the species 

 has no claim to rank as Scotch. It has been found 

 m London, and on the European Continent, but 

 always on imports from Asia.
