 lat. obvolutis. 



In foliis dejectis Pini excelsae. 



Collected by Dr G. Pethybridge at Wexford, Ireland, Oct. 

 1 919. The specimen agrees in several respects with L. hrachy- 

 sporum Rostr. but the spores of the latter are of different dimen- 

 sions, being shorter and wider. 



DISCOMYCETES. 



Sepultaria sepiUta (Fr.) Mass. 



Collected by W. G. Travis on sand-hills S. Lancashire in 

 June, 1920. In this specimen both the exterior and the disc 

 of the ascocarp are a dull black. In section the paraphyses are 

 a light shade of dull brown towards the clavate tips, but col- 

 lectively they form a thick brown epithecium, much darker 

 than might be inferred from the usual descriptions. Paraphyses 

 in Sepultaria are generally described as "hyaline."
