tate Myxomycete. Since the older genus Dacryomitra is so 
broadly defined that it includes Massee's genus Dacryopsis— 
which has always been superfluous—I transfer E. pedunculata 
to Dacryomitra:

f. 15; pl. 41. f. 4; pl. 62. f. 4, 5. 1920. 
Type: in Curtis Herb. and probably in Kew Herb. 
About 4 mm. high, horn color; stem erect, sulcate, bearing 
at the apex the expanded, lobed, and at length deflexed hy- 
menium, about 2 mm. across; at first tuberculiform and attached 
by a white, floccose mycelium, which at length 
entirely vanishes; basidia 40-50 x 3 u, bearing 
2 divergent, obtuse sterigmata up to 15 x3y; 
spores hyaline under the microscope, thick- 
walled, becoming 3-septate, 13-18 x 6-8 y. 
Dried fructifications of the Curtis Herb. 
specimens have heads 1 mm. in diameter, and ES 
stems 1-2 mm. long, 4% mm. in diameter. O

D. pedunculata is distinct from D. stipitata Fig. 5. D. pedun-

it agrees with D. dubia as understood by Coker, with dried speci- 
mens of which it should be compared.

Under the above name Massee published as a Basidiomycete 
an erroneous account of the structure of Coryne Ellisiit Berk., a 
synonym of Stilbium giganteum Pk. and the imperfect stage of 
Holwaya gigantea (Pk.) Durand. The material which Massee 
studied was collected by Ellis at Potsdam, N. Y. I made 
abundant gatherings of the species on a basswood log at Middle-
