Torula fiisca (Bon.) Sacc. Syll. iv, p. 260, 1886. 



Tufts spreading, pulverulent, brown. Conidia in chains, fusi- 

 form, brown, decumbent. 



Growing on decaying Bulgaria inquinans and on rotten wood 

 [Corylus Avellana). 



A specimen, collected in Abbey Wood, has been referred to 

 this somewhat imperfectly described species. It was growing 

 over the disc of a Peziza (possibly Omhrophila clavus) as well as 

 on the damp rotten wood. Superficially it is yellowish-brown, 

 in mass under the microscope it is chestnut-brown. The sporo- 

 phores are branched, the conidia from ovoid to fusiform in rather 

 long chains, measure 7-14/A x 5/li C. H. Grinling and St John 

 Marriott, Dec. 1919. 



Hadrotrichum anceps Sacc. in Ann. Mycol. ix, p. 255, 191 1. 



Tufts usually hypophyllous, in lines, gregarious or somewhat 

 scattered, shortly linear, minute, -5 mm. long, brownish-black, 

 prominent, firm; conidiophores densely packed, cylindrical, 

 straight, rarely wider upwards, 35-40 x 5-5-6/x, smoky brown, 

 generally with one septum near the base; conidia globose, rarely 

 ellipsoid-globose, 8-9 /x diam., fuliginous, epispore thin, slightly 

 punctate. 



On fading leaves of Brachypodium. 



Collected on fading leaves oi Arrhenatherum elatius at Wisley, 

 Surrey, June 1916. 



The conidiophores of the British specimen reach a length of 

 65/x and the conidia are more persistently ellipsoid and measure 

 up to 10-12 jM X 8/x; otherwise it corresponds exactly with Sac- 

 cardo's species. 



The Arrhenatherum was attacked by Ustilago perennans.
