f. 880, 881. 1917. 
Fructifications effused, somewhat pulvinate, with the surface 
tubereulate and having irregular folds, white or grayish, dis- 
coloring to bister in the herbarium when dry, and cracking and 
curling up from the substratum; basidia 12-15 x10 w; spores 
hyaline, even, 12-13 x4-415 u, stated by Lloyd to be 16x8 wu; 
no gloeocystidia. 
Fructification 2-5 mm. thick, spread out over areas 10 cm. 
and more in diameter. 
On rotten Corylus. Washington. August. 
This species is noteworthy by its broadly effused and relatively 
thin fructifications and spores at least twice as long as broad. 
Specimens examined:

In December, 1899, I studied the specimen of Tremella 
aurantia Schw. in Herb. Schweinitz in Philadelphia, before it 
had been examined by either Lloyd or Coker. I noted that it 
was on an oak limb which was also bearing Sterewm rameale. 
The preparation which I have of a bit of the hymenium of this 
authentic specimen still shows the longitudinally cruciately 
septate basidia and subglobose, hyaline, even spores about 
10x8 u. These dimensions do not exclude Tremella mesenterica, 
but the form and general aspect of the fructification and its 
less brittle structure made me regard T. aurantia as a species 
distinct from the latter. In the following March I received 
from Professor P. H. Rolfs, then of Clemson College, South 
Carolina, a fine specimen from that region which measured 414 
x3x2L6 em. high when fresh. This specimen agreed in all 
respects with my notes, preparations, and remembrance of the
