the pore mouths covered. The pores open, but the exact manner is 

 not stated in any of the accounts. \Ve present also a photograph that 

 we made in the Museum at Paris, of a cluster of young fruit, as they 

 grow on the branch. These were brought from Cape Horn by Mon- 

 sieur Hariot. 



CYTTARIA GUXNII (Fig. 994). This is the Australasian 

 species, named by Berkeley in 1848. It is the only species known 

 except from South America, and it is only known from New Zealand 

 and Tasmania. It is quite similar to the above two species, hard and 

 heavy when dry, but the pores are closer and still separated by thick 

 walls. The color of the dried plant is white, but when soaked is pale

yellow, which is the color when fresh. When fresh it is evidently 

 much paler color than the preceding species. The spores are globose, 

 10-12 mic. hyaline, smooth. We gave an account of the species in 

 Mycological Notes, page 578. We have specimens from W. A. Scarfe, 

 H. W. Laing, R. S. Robinson and one unknown contributor, all from 

 New Zealand.
