ELOBA 01 NEW ZEALAND.

much, more likely to be the normal condition of the fruit. The specimens form a dense coat on either side of the 

 leaves, which easily peels off. The base consists of a closely interwoven, almost gelatinous web, traversed by a net- 

 work of moniliform threads, from which rise erect, shortly-branched fibres, bearing either lateral or subterminal spo- 

 rangia. — A subsequent examination of what is evidently the same species, but on the leaves of some Myrtad from 

 the same locality, has exhibited precisely the same chastophoroid masses as figured by Dr. Montagne, so that there 

 is no doubt about the species. There is a curious connection between the genera Capnodium and Antennaria ; the 

 one seems frequently to follow the other. In the last-mentioned specimens I find a single sporangium of Capno- 

 dium, with uniseptate spores. 



2. Antennaria scoriadea, Berk, in Hook. Fl. Ant. i. 67. (Zasmidium, Fr., Sect, Dendropogon.) 

 Hab. On various trees, extremely common, Colenso. 



To be added to the Genus Ubomyces. 

 * Uromyces citriformis, Berk. ; maculis obliteratis, soris sparsis epidermide persistenter cinctis, sporis 

 magnis citriformibus breviter pedicellatis fuscis. 



Hab. On leaves of some Orchid, apparently a Thelemytra, Colenso. 



Spots obliterated. Sori scattered over the whole frond. Epidermis persistent. Spores lemon-shaped, brown, 

 shortly pedicellate, -f|o~5^o of an inch long. 



Since the analysis of New Zealand Fungi was drawn up, which appears at the commencement of this article, 

 35 additional species have come under notice. Of these 



23 are European or Sikkim species from high altitudes. 



12 subtropical or tropical. 

 Of the first :— 



11 are common British species. 



2 European. 



1 Sikkim. 



8 New. 

 Of the second: — ■ 



1 is a cosmopolite. 



2 Indian. 



1 Otaheite, 



8 New species of subtropical types. 

 The whole list will give, therefore, 70 subtropical or tropical forms, and 123 European, instead of 58 subtro- 

 pical or tropical, and 100 European; so that, on the whole, the European type prevails in the proportion of nearly 

 two to one. As amongst the Pheenogams, the number of genera is very large in proportion to the species.
