ing to yellow when bruised, then to pinkish or red, stem short ; 
asci clavate, .001—.0014 long ; spores crowded, oblong-ovate or 
subclavate, .0002’ long. 
Under surface of hemlock wood lying on the ground. Sand- 
lake. November. 
The changes in color, when bruised, is an interesting charac- 
ter. The species is related to P. hyalina and perhaps more 
closely to P. aspidiicola, and is therefore placed among the 
Dasyscyphe, although there is scarcely any appearance of 
hairiness on the cups. 
PeEzizA (HUMARIA) DELIGATA 2. Sp. 
Cups minute, gregarious, sessile, with radiating hyaline 
fibrils at the base, at first subglobose, then open with the disk 
nearly plane, brick-red ; asci broad, oblong or subcylindrical ; 
spores biseriate, elliptical, smooth, .0006—.00075' long. 
Dead stems of herbs lying on the ground. Bethlehem. 
September. 
The cups sometimes have a thick tumid margin. In some 
respects the species resembles P. hemastigma. It appears to 
belong to the subgenus Humaria, but the habitat is unusual.

HELOTIUM CARICINELLUM 7. sp. (Plate 1, figs.5-8.) = © 
Small, .02—.03’ broad, scattered, sessile, reddish or ochraceous- 
brown when moist, black or blackish when dry, the disk plane 
or slightly concave; asci clavate; spores crowded, oblong, 
obtuse, uniseptate, colorless, .0008—.001' long. 
Dead leaves of Carex utriculata. Adirondack. August. 
This is a true Helotium as is shown by the cups being open 
from the first, and yet it is apparently related to Peziza 
lacustris. 
HELOTIUM BRYOGENUM 7%. Sp. 
Cups minute, substipitate, scattered, pallid or yellowish- 
white and expanded when moist, livid-red or subviolaceous and. 
concave with a tumid margin when dry ; spores subfusiform, 
sometimes curved, .0006—.0007' long.
