The above diagnosis is Irom the original specimens of Ifi/steriinn 

 yloniopsh, determined by (ierard. The specc. ol' H. hyaliinnu. 

 C. & P., determined I)y Cooke, do not dill'or apprecialtly. In the 

 diagnosis of //. hyaliniim, in Disc. P. S. the sporidia are said t<» lie 

 26-28x6-8 /i, but we can only make them as stated above. In a 

 spec, of Ilydefinm hyafosporum, (Jer., fi-om Oerard, the sporidia. 

 when mature, become brown, though they remain for a long time 

 hyaline, imt in all other respects the spec, agrees so well with the 

 characters given above that it cannot well be separated. In the 

 original description o\' Ilynferiiun /lyalinum, C tV; P., nothing is said 

 of any longitudinal septa in the sporidia, but in the mature sporidia 

 they are always present.
