73. King’s Cliffe. Found by Mr. Churchill Babington and 
myself, July 1840. Corda has admirably illustrated the ge- 
nus Acrospermum, and shown its affinity to Spheronema. His 
analysis exactly accords with one sent by myself to Fries in 
1837. The contents of the perithecia, which consist of very 
long linear bodies, are at length discharged at the apex. The 
structure is not at all that of Sclerotium. Dr. Greville’s figure 
is correct enough as far as it goes, but he has not used glasses 
of sufficient power to show the structure accurately. 
*165. Coryne turbinata, Schum., Corda Ic. Fasc. 2. t. 14. 
My Tubercularia albida, Eng. FI. vol. v. part 2. p. 354, ap- 
pears to be this species, with the figure of which it accords. At 
any rate I committed an error in referring the plant to the 
genus Tubercularia. 
169. Spheria argillacea, Fr., Obs. 1. t. 2. f. 5. On fallen 
ash branches. King’s Cliffe, Norths., Speke, Lane. There 
can be no doubt that the plant originally intended by Persoon 
in his ‘ Icones’ is the present species. The perithecia are im- 
mersed and almost free on the same stick, and even in the 
same specimen. 
170. S. lutea, A. & S. t. 1. f. 1. On very decayed branches. 
Clifton, Notts. A most interesting addition to the British 
Flora. At present I have found only a few specimens. 
171. S. scabrosa, Dec., Fr. Syst. Myc. 2. p. 360. On the 
trunk of a maple. Morehay Lawn in Rockingham Forest. 
172. S. quercina, Pers., Fr. Syst. Myc. 2. p. 362. King’s 
Cliffe. This species, for which various plants, especially S. 
leiphemia, are substituted in collections, has occurred once 
only. 
173. S. dissepta, Fr. Syst. Myc. p. 392. On willow and 
ash. King’s Cliffe and at Coleorton, by Mr. Churchill Ba- 
bington. 
174. S. cucurbitula, Tode. Fr. Syst. Myc. 2. p. 415. On 
small dead shoots of ash. King’s Cliffe. 
175. S. pulicaris, Fr. Syst. Myc. 2. p. 417. Common on 
dead branches of fig, elder, &c.; also on decayed cabbage 
stalks. 
176. S. scoriadea, Fr., El. 2. p. 87.. Ombirch twigs, Rose 
Hall, Sutherlandshire. Mr. Churchill Babington. I believe 
this production to be a Verrucaria. The contents of the pe- 
rithecia are grumous, containing biseriate fusiform sporidia. I 
have seen only a single British specimen, and the fructifica- 
tion was not quite perfect enough to authorize me in removing 
the species at once to Verrucaria. )

leaves of Vaccinium uliginosum, Glen Coe. Mr. Churchill Ba- -
