  fresh

  take 
  another 
  look 
  at 
  it. 
  The

  There 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  to' 
  be 
  but 
  a 
  single 
  

   species; 
  with 
  moist 
  weather 
  it 
  grows 
  throughout 
  the 
  year; 
  

   It 
  IS 
  a 
  very 
  interesting 
  object 
  under 
  low 
  power 
  ; 
  the 
  spores 
  

   are 
  extremely 
  large 
  and 
  in 
  a 
  drop 
  of 
  water 
  tumble 
  down 
  like 
  

   nmepms. 
  They 
  are 
  most 
  commonly 
  4-septate, 
  as 
  I 
  observe 
  

   them, 
  with 
  the
