40 Kov. M..I. lioikLk-y itMr.C.E. Brooiiu' on livitish Fungi. 



On very rotten wood. Langridgc, April 27, 1874, 0. E. B. 



Walls composed of large cells; sporidia '0015 inch long, 

 •0007 wide. 



On the same wood with this species, and probably its stylo- 

 sporous state, is a minnte Spharonema, Hask-shaped, with a 

 long slender neck and minute globose spores. 



Plate II. fiar. 0. a. plant, in situ ; b. tissue of perithecia ; c. ascus ; 

 d. sporidia. iSjl more or less highly maguitied. 



^]'enturia aMiemifhr, B. & Br. Pcrithcciis minutis in 

 maculas parvas stellatas eongestis ; ascis brevibus lanceolatis ; 

 sporidiis t'usiformibus uniseptatis. 



On leaves of Alc/temil/a, on which it apj)ears in the form of 

 little jet-black stellate spots. New Pitsligo, Rev. J. Fergus- 

 son, Dec. 31, 1873. 



Sporidia shortly fusiform, narrow, '0005 inch long, uni- 

 septate. 



This is Asteroma, Grev., Stigmatea, Cooke ; apparently 

 owing its stellate appearance to the perithecia following the 

 veins of the leaves. Fuckel's specimens have the character- 

 istic short hairs.

Pycnidia of this species have been sent from the Rev. J. 

 Stevenson, and very closely resemble those of D. iilmi, which 

 have also been received from Scotland, and are equally refer- 

 able to the genus Piggotia. 



1494. Hysterium arundinaceum, Schr., var. gramineum ; 

 H. cubnigenum, var. /3, Fr. Syst. v. 2. p. 591 ; Moug. & 

 Nest. 



On leaves of grass. Torres, Rev. J. Keith. 



This agrees exactly with //. ariindinacei(m, and is the plant 

 of Mougeot and Nestler, and not with H. cxdimgenum^ to which 

 the specimen in Cooke's ' Exsiccata ' belongs. 



1495. Mucor j^ruinosiiSj^. Sl^v. Pusillus, niveus ; vesi- 

 culis globosis, reticulatis ; sporis irregularibus. 



Covering with a thin white stratum the soil of garden-pots, 

 the plants in which in consequence perished. Sibbertoft, 

 Nov. 1873. Spores •0007-*0012 inch long. Some decayed 

 seeds of kidney-beans had been in the soil, and probably were 

 the nidus of the mould. 



1496. Tkamnidiuvi Van Tieghemi, B. & Br. T. elegans, 

 Ann. d. Sc. Nat. s6r. 5. v. xvii. p. 321. 



On cabbage-stalks. 



Clearly quite different from T. elegans [Ascophora elegans, 

 Cd.), as a comparison of Van Tieghem's figure and Corda's
