REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. 49 
CLAVARIA TYPHULOIDES 7. sp. (Plate II, figs. 12-14.) 
Very small, about two lines high, rather tough, scattered or 
gregarious, clavate, white, the stem slightly pruinose, gradu- 
ally swelling into the obtuse glabrous subcompressed solid 
club ; spores oblong-elliptical, .0002—.0003' long, with an oblique 
point at the base. 
Dead stems of Hpilobiwnm angustifolium. Adirondack. 
August. 
This belongs to the section Holocoryne, and is apparently 
allied to C. wneialis, but its much smaller size and usually 
compressed club will serve to distinguish it. When dry the 
white color is well retained and the hymenium has a subpellu- 
cid appearance and is of a firmer texture than the center of the 
club. 
CLAVARIA AMETHYSTINA Pull. 
Ground. Oneida. July. Warne. 
PISTILLARIA COCCINEA Cd. 
Dead leaves and petioles of tansy, TYanacetum vulgare.

TREMELLA INTUMESCENS Sow. 
Dead alder branches. Sandlake. November. 
N 2MATELIA CEREBRIFORMIS /Hilis in litt. 
‘Dead branches of water-beech, Carpinus Americana. Albany. 
September. 
Mr. Ellis sends this under the above name. It appears to 
differ from JV. encephala in being lighter colored and in having 
the nucleus of a softer texture. . 
DACRYMYCES MINOR n. sp. 
Small, subglobose, scattered or rarely a few crowded together, 
dingy ochraceous with a slight olivaceous tint ; spores oblong, 
curved, with a slight oblique apiculus at one end, simple, then 
uniseptate, finally triseptate, .0005~—.0006' long, .0002’ broad. 
Decaying wood. Buffalo, Clinton. Sandlake. November. 
The plants are scarcely half a line in diameter. 
Bovista PILA B. &C. 
Ground in grassy places. Oneida. Warne. Sandlake and 
Albany. 
Our specimens appear to belong to this species but I have 
never seen them with bits of grass adhering to the peridium, 
and the spores vary in color from dingy-olivaceous, at first, to 
purplish brown when old.
