Dacryomyces (?) vermicularis, B. and Br., Ann. Nat. Hist., 

 no. 1700. 



On rotten wood. No specimen exists in Berkeley's her- 

 barium, hence it remains doubtful as to the correct posi- 

 tion of the present species, which does not appear from the 

 brief description to agree with Dacryomyces as at present 

 understood. 



DACEYOPSIS. Massee. (figs. 5, 6, p. 56.) 



Small, subgelatinous, stipitate, fertile portion capitate, at 

 first covered with conidiophores ; conidia terminal at apex of

 hyaline, continuous, forming a dense stratum ; basidia cylin- 

 drical, bifurcate, aseptate, springing from the interlaced 

 hyphae at the apex of the stem, either contemporaneous with 

 or later than the conidia. Spores elongated, colourless, con-
