Clips 1-50 — 1-100 in. wide adhering to a few tine filaments, sessile, smooth, 

 (if a silvery whiteness, bearing a single even row of sub-cylindric smooth hairs 

 not septate but cellulose about J of the total height. Asci curved, not so 

 broad as in some other species. Paraphyses few, rather enlarged towards the 

 tip : Mr. Berkeley found them forked. Spores 64. Towards maturity the 

 originally liemispherical cups flatten not inconsiderably. [Tab. 155, fig. 1-4.]

Cups 1-40 and 1-60 in. wide and high. Spores normally 64 fusiform 

 0037 X 0003. Minute, scattered, at first white, then dingy with a thick stem- 

 like base which is studded with large uneven semi-globular wart-like cells 

 fruiged with unequal close-set or over-lapping hairs which seem here and 

 there to form a double row arising from the much smaller x'ounded even cells 

 which form the margin.

A. Leveillei, Renny. Minutissimus, stipitatus, clare albus. Stipes de 

 cellulis bullatis formatus, cupulam obconicam cellulis externe subplanis con- 

 ditam inferens ; asci ampli prominentes bene annulati ; spor;« 64 ad 96, 

 oblongo-fusiformes, in massam imbricatam ail asci extremitatem aggregatie. 



Very minute 1-80—1-120 in. wide and high, stipitate, silvery white. Stem 

 formed of rounded prominent cells, the body of the cup of smaller much 

 flattened cells. Marginal hairs in a thin single row short and irregular. Disc 

 rough with the prominent asci which are very broad, tapering below, with 

 strongly marked rings. The spores are more numerous than in A. Wool- 

 liopensis, amounting probably to 06, and their collected mass is more compact 

 and imbricate. The finer proportions and the thinness of the row of hairs 

 seem also to distinguish it from that species, while the spore number dis- 

 tinguishes it from A. parvisporus.

 fragilis, sessilis, hemisphericus, glaber, substantia laterum strato cellularum

Cups 1-150 rarely 1-100 in., formed of a single layer of subcubical cells, 

 with a single row of sharp, pointed hairs often roughened on their sides about 

 •me-sixth to one-eighth of the whole height. Disc plane, granulate. Asci 

 narrower than usual. Spores normally 32, oblongo-fusiform. To be dis- 

 tinguished from A. cuakularius by the shorter and tapering rough cilia as 

 well as by the thinness and transparency of the walls.
