BURT—THELEPHORACEAE OF NORTH AMERICA. VIII 251 
The northern specimens cited below have the approximate 
spore characters of C. sistotremoides but an even hymenium, 
hence they are all referred with doubt to this species for the 
present. Possibly the granular condition of this species may 
be confined to the vicinity of North Carolina. 
Specimens examined: 
Vermont: Grand View Mt., E. A. Burt. 
Massachusetts: Magnolia, W. G. Farlow; Manchester, W. G. 
Farlow, 3. 
New York: Alcove, C. L. Shear, 1130. 
North Carolina: Schweinitz, type (in Herb. Schweinitz). 
8. С. vaga Burt, n. sp. C (> 
Type: in Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb. O 
Fructification effused, spongy, hypochnoid, 
tomentose, drying between pinkish buff and 
cinnamon-buff, the margin thinning out and 
concolorous; in structure 300 р thick, com- 
posed of loosely interwoven, short-celled, 
suberect hyphae 6-7 шіп diameter, not in- 
crusted, not nodose-septate, slightly colored 
and giving their color to the fructification; Fig. 8 
no cystidia; spores slightly colored, con- С. vaga. | 
3 Е Basidium with 
eolorous with the hyphae, even, apiculate,  sterigmata, sporcs, 
714-9 415—6 и. һурһа. Х 665. 
Fructifications 8 em. or more long, 3 em. broad. 
On bark of old log of Ulmus americana. Hudson Falls, New 
York. September. 
In its general appearance C. vaga somewhat resembles Cor- 
ticium vagum but the former is more compact and darker 
colored, and its spores are colored, shorter, broader, and 
almost mucronate-pointed. 
Specimens examined: 
New York: Hudson Falls, S. H. Burnham, 20, type (in Mo. 
Bot. Gard. Herb., 54498). 
9. C. avellanea Burt, n. sp. 
Type: in Burt Herb.
