1601. C.fidva, var. b. {ntennedia, Schrad. tab. i. fig. 2. 

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

 Spores 'OOOSS-'OOOo 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 differs not only 

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



1604. A. (Lachnobolus) congesta^ 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 effiisa, Fr. Licea effusa, 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. Perichoina decipiens, B. & Br. Sporis majoribus 

 minoribusque Itete aureis. 



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



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

 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. decipiens. 



Plate IX. fig. 3. a. spore of P. strohilina ; b. the smaller spores of 

 P. decipipiix ; c. the larger spores ; d. the capillitium. All more or less 

 uiacroitied.
