1302. Clavaria sjnnulosa, P. Obs. ii. tab. 3. fig. 1. 

 In pine-woods. Coed Cocli, 1866. 



Stem thick at the base, but not so thick as in Persoon's 

 figm'e. 



1303. C fumosa, P. Comm. p. 76. 

 Frome, 1866, C. E. Broome. 



1304. Pterula multifida^ Fr. 



This interesting addition to our list of Fungi was commu- 

 nicated by Sir W. C. Trevelyan, Sept. 1865. 



1305. Dacrymyces sebaceus, B. & Br. Albidus, subrotundus, 

 e filamentis varie ramosis, superne s£8pe clavatis compositus ; 

 coelo pluviali tantum conspicuus. 



Forming circular patches on twigs of ash and maple, in 

 winter. Bath, 1868, C. E. B. 



Allied to D. ccesius, Sommerf. Individual plants 2-4 lines 

 broad ; spores ovato-triangular, '0005 long,'0002-"0003 broad ; 

 filaments here and there breaking up into globose conidia. 

 Spores producing globose secondary spores. On the same 

 threads occur multiseptate, curvid, fusiform spores, 'OOl-'OOS 

 inch long. 



Plate XVIII. fig. 2. a. D. sebaceus, nat, size ; b. group of threads with 

 two kinds of fruit,, magnified ; c. spores ; d. ditto bearing secondary- 

 spores ; e. spores of difierent forms, one germinating ; /. fusarioid spores, 

 all more or less magnified ; g. conidia. 



1306. Gedster tunicatusj Vitt. Mon. p. 18, tab. 3. fig. 3. 

 Found in considerable abundance amongst Rhododendra 



at Castle Ashby by Mr. Beecii in 1869-1870. 



1307. Lycoijerdon Hoylet, B. & Br, Peridio stipitato, sub- 

 globoso, verrucis rigidis fuscis elongatis echinato ; basi ste- 

 rili parca cum capillitio sporisque lilacinis confluente. 



Reading, Mr. Hoyle, Oct. 1870. 



Stem 1 inch high, | inch thick, lacunose, olivaceous witliin ; 

 pcridia 2 inches across; warts 1^-2 lines high; capillitium 

 and spores lilac ; spores globose, echinulate, "00015 in dia- 

 meter ; mycelium thread-like, white. 



Agreeing exactly with an authentic specimen of Persoon's 

 L. eckiaatum externally, who could, however, scarcely have 

 overlooked the lilac spores. The stem is lacmiose, the cavities 

 verrucose. 



^Lyco2)erdon echinafum, P. Syn. p. 146. 



Brought to the Fungus Show at South Kensington, Oct. 

 1870, from the neighbourhood of Marlow, by Mr. Sawyer. 



As far as the present specimens go, the species seems to be 

 a form of L. atrojmrpureum. Vittadini refers it doubtfully to 

 L. hiemale. 



1308. Scleroderma geaster, Fr. Syst. iii. p. 46.
