1601. C.fulva^ var. b. intermedia^ Schrad. tab. i. fig. 2. 

 On decayed wood. Glamis, Rev. J. Stevenson. 

 Spores 'OOOSS-'OOOS inch in diameter. 



1602. Arcyria Friesii^ B. & Br. Gregaria ; peridiis stipi- 

 tatis, globoso-ovatis, cinereis; capillitio ovato-cylindrico sporis- 

 que glaucis. 



On sawdust. Glamis, Rev. J. Stevenson. 



The plant which generally passes for Arcyria cinerea, and 

 which is figured in the '■ Flora Danica,' and is common in exotic 

 as well as British collections, has not glaucous spores. The 

 specimens received above appear to be what Fries intended ; 

 and therefore the above name is assigned to them. The capil- 

 litium is coarser than that oi A. cinerea^ and the spores are 

 decidedly blue. Its habit also is different, the peridia being 

 scattered in A . cinerea. 



1603. A. ferruginea, Rtf. Mon. 

 On dead wood. Sow. Herbarium. 



Included often in A. punicea, from which it difiers not only 

 in colour, but in the comparative size of the spores. 



1604. A. (Lachnobolus) congesfa, B. & Br. Peridiis in 

 massas orbiculares congestis sessilibus, nitidis, flavo-umbrinis ; 

 floccis exasperatis sporisque concoloribus. 



On dry wood. Halse House, Somerset, October 1861, C. E. 

 Broome. 



Forming orbicular masses \ inch in diameter, consisting of 

 crowded shining umber peridia, looking at first like a Licea 

 or a heap of moth's eggs. Just the colour of gingerbread. 

 Spores globose, •0003-*0004 inch in diameter. 



Plate IX. fig. 2. a. plant, natural size ; b. portion of plant, magnified ; 

 c. capillitium ; d. spores. 



1605. Lindhladia efusa, Fr. Licea effiisa, P. & Ehrb. 

 With Crihraria argillacea. Aboyne, 1870. Forres, Rev. 



J. Keith. We have an original specimen from Fries marked 

 as probably belonging to a new genus, before it was cha- 

 racterized. 



1605 bis. Perichceiia decipiens, B. & Br. Sporis majoribus 

 minoribusque laete aureis. 



On fir-cones. Perth, Dr. Buchanan White. 



The external appearance is just the same as that of P. sfro- 

 hilina ; but the spores are bright yellow and of two kinds, the 

 larger •0009-'002 inch long, those of P. strohilina •001--0012 

 inch long, which is about the size of the smaller spores of 

 P. d,cc.ij[)iens. 



Plate IX. fig. 8. a. spore of P. sirohilina ; h. the smaller spores of 

 P. decipH')i>i ; c. tlie larger spores ; d. the capillitium. All more or less 

 masriufieil.
