Peziza Ltonarres C. & P. 
Petioles of fallen leaves. Memphis. August. 
PEZIZA AGROSTINA 72. Sp. 
Cups scattered, small, .02’-.03’ broad when dry, subsessile, hemis- 
pherical or subglobose, externally hairy, of a dull pinkish hue, the 
hairs of the margin bent inwards when moist, usually with longer 
subulate whitish points, the others not subulate, often rough and 
more or less septate; disk pallid or cream-colored ; asci cylindrical ; 
spores subcylindrical, .00025—.0003’ long; paraphyses broad, longer 
than the asci, tapering upwards to a point. 
Dead stems of Calamagrostis Canadensis. West Albany. June. 
The peculiar paraphyses indicate an alliance with P. apala, P. 
brunneola, etc. The species belongs to the Dasyscyphe. 
PeEziza sUBTILIssmMA C&. 
Dead branches of pine. West Albany. July. 
PEzIZA VIRGINELLA Ch.

Peziza THALICTRI 7. sp. } 
Cups abundant, sessile, bursting through the epidermis, small, 
punctiform when dry, externally black, the margin usually whitish 
or cinereous and subfimbriate; disk cinereous; asci oblong; spores 
crowded, elongated, simple or multinucleate, .001—.0012' long, .0002’ 
broad. 
Base of dead stems of Zhalictrum cornuti. Center. May. 
When moist the cups expand, revealing the disk. The substance 
is then so much swollen that the black exterior breaks up into small 
scales, giviug a scabrous appearance to the cups. The species should 
be referred to the section Mollisia. A 
Hetorium sapropuyitium C. & P. n. sp. 
Minute, stipitate, ochraceous ; cups plane; stems slender, slightly

one to two-nucleate, .0008' long, .00025’ broad.
