60 THIRTIETH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 
asci cylindrical; spores oblong or cylindrical, .0003' long; 
paraphyses longer than the asci, tapering above to a point. 
Dead stems of Myrica Gale. Adirondack Mts. August. 
This differs from P. b7wnneola in color and in having a hairy 
stem. The plant is much smaller than P. myricacea. 
PeEzizA (DASYSCYPH#) CAPITATA Pk. (Thumen’s Myc. Univ. 
No. 813.) 
Cups minute, sessile, subglobose and usually closed when 
dry, open when moist, white, clothed with septate capitate 
white hairs, hymenium whitish inclining to yellow; asci cylin- 
drical, .0012’ long ; spores straight, acicular, .0002~—.0003' long ; 
paraphyses longer than the asci, pointed at the extremities. 
Fallen oak leaves. Bethlehem. June. 
The specific name has reference to the capitate hairs. These 
spring directly from the cellular substance of the cup. The 
base of the hairs is enlarged and distinctly septate. The ses- 
sile cups and white color separate this from the next preceding 
species. 
Prziza (DASYSCYPH#) DISTINCTA n. sp. (Plate 1, figs. 9-13.) 
Cups small,..03—.05' broad, sessile or attached by a mere 
point, externally blackish, the margin tomentose-hairy, pale- — 
tawny, or olivaceous, the disk pinkish-red when moist, orange 
when dry ; asci clavate, often containing but four spores ; spores 
oblong-fusiform, straight or curved, .0008—.001' long. 
Dead stems of Andropogon furcatus. Center. October. 
When dry the margin is inflexed and the cups are then often 
hysteriiform, the tomentose hairs of the margin concealing the 
disk and giving the chink an olivaceous or tawny hue. 
PEZIZA MACULINCOLA Schw. 
Decorticated wood. Buffalo. March. Clinton. 
This is regarded by some as synonymous with P. flammea 
A. &8. Mr. W. C. Stevenson, Jr., to whom I am indebted for 
many acts of kindness in comparing specimens with the types 
in Schweinitz’s Herbarium, considers the two, as therein repre- 
sented, to be distinct. 
PEZIZA VULPINA Ch. 
Decaying wood. Buffalo. Clinton. 
PEzIZA (DASYSCYPHA) CHAMALEONTINA 2. Sp. 
Cups minute, .006—.015' broad, at first globose, then expanded 
with the disk nearly plane, scarcely furfuraceous, white, chang-.
