 Fairman, Journal of Mycology, vol, V,, page 79 — Notes on new or 

 Rare Fungi from Western New York, On fallen branches of Carya, 

 in the spring. The development of the sporidia of this fungus is con- 

 sidered in Fairman, "Observations on the development of some 

 fenestrate sporidia". Journal of Mycology, vol. VI., p. 29 and plate i. 

 Several years observation of this fungus enables me to confirm an 

 interesting instance of accurate scientific prediction. The original 

 specimens, which I sent to Mr. J. B. Ellis for identification, were upon 

 decorticated branches of hickory. After a careful examination Mr. 

 Ellis said (Journ. Mycol., vol. IV., p. 59), "the specimens examined 

 were apparently superficial, but it is probable that the fungus grew 

 while the limb was still invested with the bark through longitudinal 

 cracks in which the ostiola penetrated." I have since then found 

 several specimens growing on branches with ostiola protruding through 

 deep longitudinal fissures.
