Leaves of Zilia Americana. Buffalo. Clinton. Watkins. 
September and October. 
The thickened tips of the appendages are characteristic of this 
species. The mycelium is more conspicuous on the upper than on 
the lower surface of the leaf. I take pleasure in dedicating this 
sies to its discoverer, Z7on. G. W. Clint 
species to its discoverer, /7on. G. W. Clinton. 
GEOGLOSSUM QLUTINOSUM Pers. 
Borders of swamps. Sandlake. September. 
‘The viscid stem is the most available character for separating 
this species from G. hirsutum. In both species the spores are 
fifteen-septate. 
GEOGLOssUM sIMILE Pech. 
Plant 1-2) high, black; club obtuse, generally compressed, 
sometimes with a broad shallow groove on one side, hairy, tapering 
into the stem; asci broad; spores fasciculate, elongate, slightly 
curved, seven-septate, colored, .003'—.004 long ; paraphyses slightly 
thickened at the tips, septate, sometimes branched. 
Damp mossy ground in swamps. Fort Edward. //owe. Sand- 
lake. September. 
Externally this species can scarcely be distinguished from @. 
hirsutum, but its shorter seven-septate spores and paler paraphyses 
with tips less recurved and more distinctly septate are distinguish- 
ing characters too marked to be overlooked. 
GrEOGLOssUM MIcRosroruUM C. & P. 
Plant 1’ high, black; club obtuse, smooth, viscid when moist, 
distinct from the minutely squamulose stem; spores crowded or 
biseriate, cylindrical, obtuse, slightly curved, simple, hyaline, 
.J000T—.0013' long. 
Burnt ground under Péerts aquilina. Greig. September. 
This species is allied to G. viride. When moist the spores ooze 
out on the viscid surface. 
VisrisseA LuTEA Peck. (Plate 1, figs. 19-23.) 
Plant 6"-12" high, yellow; receptacle subglobose, smooth, the 
margin slightly lobed, inflexed, free; stem nearly equal, solid, a 
little more highly colored than the receptacle, longitudinally 
wrinkled when dry; asci clavate or cylindrical; spores long, 
filiform. | 
Prostrate, mossy trunks of trees and among fallen leaves in 
woods. North Elba. August. 
The free margin of the receptacle is an anomalous character in 
this species. It is larger than the next, the receptacle being 
2'-3" in diameter.
