angular body within, which looks like a cystolith. After a time 

 each spore becomes ellipticj and now measures '0012 inch in 

 length, produces about eight elliptic echinulate sporidia in its 

 cavity, which are from -OOO-l- -0005 inch long — a circumstance 

 without parallel as far as we know in Hymenomycetes. All 

 these points have been observed by each of us independently.

Epping, Mr. James English. Numerous specimens have 

 been received from the Rev. J. Stevenson, Rev. M. Anderson, 

 and others from Scotland. 



A very curious species, some specimens approaching, if not 

 identical with, Hydmim 'pa:j}yraceum. The aculei are mostly 

 very distant, either entire or plumose at the tips, with the inter- 

 stices just like the hymenium of a true Corticium. Sometimes 

 they are radiato-floccose ; but there are intermediate states.

 scattered towards the margin of the patches, composed of com-

 in a dense stratum.
