Under the name Tremella subochracea Peck described a species 
collected by himself on decorticated wood of Populus monilifera 
at Albany, N. Y. Study of his type shows this fungus to be a 
Dacryomyces having larger and more elongated fructifications 
than D. deliquescens and slenderer spores which curve to one 
side below the middle into a characteristic tapering, oblique 
base. Spores of similar dimensions and form occur in the type 
of D. minor Pk. but in the latter the fructifications are so deeply 
sunk in the very rotten wood that only the upper surface is 
visible and I could not come to a definite conclusion in regard 
to the species nor the wood in which growing. A collection of 
mine made at Middlebury, Vt., on Saliz, is referable to D. sub- 
ochraceus.

Ser A Oe The above is the original description which 
is of especial value in regard to the general aspect or habit of 
the species, for it was undoubtedly written, according to Peck’s
