Messrs. Berkeley and Broome on British Fungi. 27 
On a Spiranthes from Trinidad. Kew, Mr. R. Irwyn 
Lynch. 
Generically distinct from Uredo confluens, var. orchidis, 
and different in habit. U. gynandrearum, Cada. iil. tab. 1. 
fig. 9, agrees in habit; but the spores are dark, and the pus- 
tules bullate. 
1707. Ustilago Kuehniana, Wolff; Fisch. de Wald. Ust. 
p- 29; Gard. Chron. July 1876. 
On Rumex acetosella from permanent meadow-land in Mr. 
Lawes’s Park at Rothhamstead, Dr. Gilbert. 
Spores ‘00045 inch long. 
1708. Protomyces Comari, B. & White. Pustulis fuscis ; 
sporis in cellulis tumidis matricis ternis vel solitariis. 
On Comarum palustre. Aug. 1877, Loch of Kinordy, 
Forfarshire, Rev. M. Anderson. 
Resembling at first sight Lsothea pustula, but a true Pro- 
tomyces. 
The pustules are far more prominent than in P. menyanthis. 
Spores °001--0012 inch long, broadly obovate. 
Miues1A, White, nov. gen. Peridium incarceratum reticu- 
latum, basi inter cellulas matricis radicans ; spore obovate 
echinulatze per ostiolum minutuin demum emissz. 
1709. M. polygoni, B. & White. Sc. Nat. 1. c. tab. 2. 
erie. 
On the underside of leaves of Polygonum viviparum. Glen 
Tilt, Dr. Buchanan White. 
Evidently allied to Endophyllum, but distinguished by its 
reticulated thoroughly incarcerated peridium, which does not 
burst irregularly, but discharges its spores by a minute pore. 
The spores closely resemble those of Uredo pteridum, White, 
0012-0017 inch long. Sc. Nat. 7. c. tab. 2. f. 6. . 
PuaTe III. fig. 3. a, pseudoperidium with its hyphe; 6, ditto, 
crushed ; c, single spore. All more or less magnified.

Syst. Mye. ili. p. 275.

Mycelium much branched. 
1711. L. tomentella, Fr. Syst. l.c. p. 276. 
On beech-leaves and mast. Creeping over the leaves, and 
at length sending up clavate fertile heads. 
Colour just that of Arcyria nutans. 
1712. Stysanus putredinis, Cda, iii. tab. 2. fig. 36. 
On decayed leaves. Glamis, Rev. J. Stevenson, no. 873.
