The color of the fresh plant is a beautiful orange, but it fades in 

 drying so that it may not inaptly be called brick red. The 

 hymenial warts or protuberances are sometimes arranged in lines 

 or series. In drying, the surface becomes more or less chinky so 

 that the protuberances appear to be collected in fascicles. 



Thelephora subochracea n. sjx 

 Kesupinate, incrusting, running over fallen leaves and twigs 

 and forming suborbicular patches one to three inches broad, thin, 

 tough, dry, pale-ochraceous, sometimes with a slight whitish 

 byssine border. 

 Woods. Shokan. September. 



The specimens have the appearance of some species of Cor- 

 ticium but the dry tough texture indicates a closer relation to 

 Thelephora. They are scarcely in perfect condition, 



Corticium Kalmiae ??. sp. 



Effused, thin, tender, inseparable from the matrix; subiculmn 

 and indeterminate margin composed of slender whitish filaments ; 

 hymenium glabrous, continuous, yellowish-ochraceous ; spores 

 smooth, elliptical, .0004 to .oOOo in. long, .00024 to .0(103 broad. 



Dead stems of mountain laurel, Kalniia latifolia. 



Shokan. September. 



This is apparently related to such species as C. deglvhens and 

 C. secedenfi^ but differing from both of these in its inseparable 

 character. 



Exobasidium Vaccinii Wor. 



Living leaves of bearljerry, ArctoUaphylos Uva-ursi. River- 

 head. July. 



Tylostoma mammosum Fr. 

 Sandy soil. Delmar, October. A rare species. 



Tylostoma campestre Mur>/. 

 Sandy soil. West Albany. November. 



Lycoperdon hirtum Jlart. 

 Brewerton and Catskill mountains. This was formerly 

 included by me with Z. atropurpureum . from which it scarcely 

 differs except in its depressed ])eridiuni ami cord-like root.
