402 Rev. M. J. Berkeley and Mr. C. E. Broome on British Fungi. 



1048. JScidium Thesii, Desv. Journ. de Bot. ii. p. 311. 



On leaves of the common Thesium. Hildersham, Cambridge, 

 Rev. J. E. Leefe, May ] 1, 1841. Near Winchester, M. C. Cooke, 

 1864. 



1049. Graphiola Phcenicis, Poiteau, Ann. des Sc. Nat. 1824, 

 p. 473. 



In the Sheffield Botanic Garden, on the Date-Palm, Sept. 5, 

 1861, Mr. J. Henderson. 



1050. Isaria felina, Fr. Syst. Myc. vol. i. p. 496. 



On cats' dung, near London, M. C. Cooke, Jan. 1864. Mixed 

 with Mucor Phycomyces. 



1051. Fusarium heteronema, n. s. Floccis deorsum septatis 

 articulis amplis, sursum inai'ticulatis ramosis ssepe furcatis gra- 

 cilibus ; sporis oblongis, curvulis, uniseptatis. 



On decaying pears. Batheaston, C. E. Broome, Oct. 12, 1863. 



Resembling somewhat Septosporium curvatum, Caspary, a spe- 

 cies which grows on the leaves of Robinia, but not really very 

 closely allied. This species is sometimes accompanied by the 

 common orange Fusarium, which is known at once by its very 

 different spores.

1052. Helminthosporium scolecoides, Cd. fasc. i. fig. 179. 

 On dead stems of some herbaceous plant. Twycross, Rev. A. 



Bloxam. 



1053. H. rhabdiferum, Berk, in Gard. Chron. 1864, p. 938. 

 On ripe peaches. Bodelwyddan, Flintshire, Sept. 1864. 

 *Triposporium elcgans, Cd. fasc. 1. fig. 220. 



This curious production sometimes occurs with globose spores 

 at the tips of one or more of the three terminal processes, as 

 seen by Mr. Broome, of which we think it well to give a figure, 

 whether the plant be considered autonomous or not.

 b b. the tips and bodies more higbly magnified. 



1054. Gonytrichum fuscum, Cd. fasc. 1. fig. 160. 

 On dead sticks. Batheaston, C. E. Broome. 



1055. Acrothecium delicatulum, n. s. Effusum, nigrum ; floccis 

 strictis ; sporis liuearibus, uni- vel pluri-septatis, hyalinis. 



On dead wood, probably beech. King's Cliffe. 



The spores are confined to the upper part of the stem, but 

 not to the apex itself. Occasionally the flocci are forked. Spores 

 •00045-0007 inch long. 



A form occurs with scattered flocci, on bramble, at Batheaston, 

 but differing in no other respect.

highly magnified.
