PATELLARIACE^E. 



CALDESIA SABINAE (De Not.) Rehm. Eug. & Prantl, i. 1. 

 213.=Karskia sabinse Rehm. Sacc. Syl. viii. 781. On 

 shredded bark of Juniperus, Hermosa, Colo., 28 March ; n. 16. 

 This has not been before reported from America. The asci 

 are 100x40/i and the spores 40x1 8/u. The asci are 8-spored 

 as figured in Eng. & Prantl. 1. c., not 4-spored as given by 

 Saccardo. 



KARSCHIA OCCIDENTALIS, n. sp. Ascocarps black, sessile, 

 discoid, the base sunken in the matrix, margin short, incon- 

 spicuous, disc black, rugose, plane or somewhat convex, 

 about Jmm.; asci crowded, cylindric, about 40-50x8-10ju,; 

 paraphyses exceeding the asci, the tips indistinguishablyj 

 blended in a dense epithecium; ascospores subdistichous, 

 oval, brown, slightly curved, uniseptate, not constricted, 

 about 12x6/A. 



On barkless weather-worn branches of Juniperus, Hermosa, 

 Colo., Apr. 3, (no number given. E. L. G.). Some minute 

 flecks of lichen thallus were observed on the same twigs 

 but they seemed to have no connection with the fungus. 



MELASPILEA EMERGENS, RHEM.? Disc. 363. Glonium 

 emergens, Duby. Hyst. i. 36. 



On decorticated, weather-worn twigs of Cercocarpus, Her- 

 mosa, Colo., March 29. On Amelanchier, Hermosa, March 

 30. On Quercus, Durango, March 23, and Hermosa, Mch. 

 28. On Fendlera rupicola, Hermosa, Apr. 4, (no numbers 

 given. E. L. G.). 



This species has not been heretofore reported from this 

 country, and we have seen no authentic specimens; but the 

 material answers well to published descriptions. 



Patinella Orandallii Sacc. On Sieversia turbinata, near 

 Pagosa Peak, 11,500 feet, 6 Aug.; n. 44.
