Uev. M.J. Berkeley on British Funr/i. 355 



There is scarcely ever the slightest indication of a papilla, and 

 they are obovate with a single globose nucleus. The sincll re- 

 sembles that of M. umbiguus. The walls of the cells are yellow- 

 ish, and are red in the dry specimens. 



*303. Batarrea j)hallovks, P. Sent to Sir W. J. Hooker in 

 1843 from Dropmore. 



301. Clathi-us cancellatus, L. Isle of Wight, Dr. Broomfield 

 and ]\Ir. Kippist. 



*305. Vihrissea truncorum, Fr. Llyn Howel, Rev. T. Salwey. 



Asci lineari-clavate, giving out a quantity of veiy slender, long, 

 curved, linear sporidia. 



*306. Pezisa hadia, P. Milton, Mr. J. Henderson, by the side 

 of a pond. The specimens were of a rich dark brown. This spe- 

 cies also occurred abundantly on rubbish in the Botanic Garden, 

 Regent's Park, towards the end of 1842. The specimens in this 

 instance, found by Mr. J. D, C. Sowerby, were of a beautiful 

 vinous purple. 



307. P. jmstullata, P. Milton, Mr. J. Henderson. The spe- 

 cimens grew in abundance on the bare soil, and were far more 

 strongly fui'furaceous than any specimen I ever saw of P. vesi- 

 culosa. There is besides no tendency as in that species to become 

 expanded, the margin, as far as I have seen, being always in- 

 flected. 



*308. P. cupularis, P. Bristol, H. O. Stephens, Esq. ; Bungay, 

 Mr. D. Stock ; Caistor, Norths, Mr. J. Henderson. 



The specimens sent by Mr. Stephens are perfectly stemless. 

 Those of Mr, Henderson have a very distinct stem, are dark ex- 

 ternally and yellow within, and come near to P. carhonaria, which 

 appears to be but a variety. Mr. Stock's specimens have a stem 

 like those of Mr. Henderson, but are of a far paler colour. 



*309. P. h-unnea, A, and S. Rudloe, C. E. Broome, Esq. 



M. Desmazieres's plant (of which 1 have a specimen) appears 

 to me the same with Mr. Broome's, and both to accord with Mr. 

 Sowerby's. My friend however — see Ann. d. Sc. Nat. vol. xix. 

 p. 367 — has come to a different conclusion. 



310. P. caulicola, Fr. On stems of herbaceous plants. Not 

 uncommon. 



311. P. corticalis, P. Bristol, H. 0. Stephens, Esq. ; Thame, 

 Dr. Ayres ; Rudloe, Wilts, C. E. Broome, Esq. 



312. P. eriobasis, n. s. Gregaria nivea sessilis, cupulis ut plu- 

 rimum distinctis tomentosis planis rotundis siccitate flexuosis 

 tomento basi affixis, hymenio albo, sicco ochraceo. On the smooth 

 inner sm'face of bark, Sherwood Forest, Notts. 



Gregarious but generally distinct ; cups half a line broad, flat, 

 orbicular, tomcntose, fixed to little, round, snow-white, cottony 

 spots, which sometimes, though rarely, become confluent, but do
