Septobasidium Leprieuri, So. Amer., Montagne, as Corticium. 

 lichenicola, Ceylon, Berkeley, as Thelephora. 

 Michelianum, Italy, Calderi, as Hypochnus. 

 Mompa, Japan, Raciborski, as Helicobasidium. 

 paulense, Brazil, Hennings, as Septobasidium. 

 protractum, Sydow, as Septobasidium. 

 pteruloides, Montagne, as Hydnum. 

 radiosum, New Guinea, Hennings, as Hymenochaete. 

 rameale, Ceylon, Berkeley, as Lachnocladium. 

 retiforme, Cuba, Berkeley, as Thelephora. 

 rhabarbarinum, So. Amer., Montagne, as Daedalea. 

 rubiginosum, Java, Patouillard, as Septobasidium. 

 scopiforme, Brazil, Patouillard, as Septobasidium. 

 septobasidioides, So. America, Hennings, as Hymenochaete. 

 suffultum, Ceylon, Berkeley, as Thelephora. 

 ussanguensis, Africa, Hennings, as Hymenochaete. 

 velutinum, So. America, Patouillard, as Septobasidium. 



The foregoing list is simply copied from my notebook of specimens in the mu- 

 seums. I have not confirmed it even as to the genera under which the species were 

 originally named. 



Thelephora spongia, Cuba, classed by Patouillard and Burt as Septobasidium, 

 did not appear to me to be a fungus. I was told by a lichenologist at Kew that it is a 

 lichen belonging to the genus Dichonema. 



A NAUCORIA FROM A SCLEROTIUM 



NAUCORIA SCLEROTICOLA, FROM REV. BOUTLOU, 

 WEST VIRGINIA (Fig. 1078). We gave in Mycological Notes, 

 page 707, an account of a sclerotium found by 

 Rev. Boutlou in the ground under some 

 manure. It was of particular interest, as 

 evidently the sclerotium of some fungus, and 

 excepting some small sclerotia, we know of 

 no fungus produced from sclerotia in the 

 United States. Rev. Boutlou has just sent 

 us an Agaric with this sclerotium attached, 

 and it opens up another question as mys- 

 terious as the sclerotium \vas originally. Had 

 the Agaric been sent to us separately, we 

 should have said that it was the common 

 Naucoria semiorbicularis, and now as we 

 have them side by side we can not see any 

 difference, excepting that Rev. Boutlou's 

 plant is produced from a sclerotium. We will 

 therefore not "describe" Naucoria scleroticola 

 except to state that it is the same as Naucoria 

 semiorbicularis produced from a sclerotium. 



No more common agaric grows than 

 Naucoria semiorbicularis, and every wet 

 season it comes abundantly in the lawns and 

 pastures and manured places, and it is wide- 

 spread. We have it from Japan, Australia. 

 . Samoa, and as to Europe it is as frequent as it is 



; I mted States. We were puzzled for years as to whether Naucoria
