rough. Asci clavate, spores hyaline, spindle shaped 

 with obtuse ends, slightly curved, 12 x 2 yu 

 On dead eucalypt. 



The hymenium in the typical European form is 

 described as cinnamon, while ours is at least very dark 

 brown, but otherwise there appears no distinction. 



Paurocotylis nivetis, n.s. In the defiiiition of the 

 genus, Berkeley gives no description of the spore forma- 

 tion, but under P. ^J?^^ he refers to the spores being 

 formed on pellucid peduncles. In the Tasmanian plant 

 the spores are born singly in globose asci. 



Subterranean or emerging, globose, pure white- 

 mostly 3-6 mm. diameter; dense and tough, canals- 

 very irregular. Asci globose 30-50 ^., numerous, en- 

 tirely filling the canals, each on a long slender 

 peduncle, and containing a single globose strongly 

 echinulate spore 16 ^. diameter, epispore very thick. 



On the ground Cascade estate, Hobart. 



Splicerosonia tasmanica, n.s. Subterranean, then 

 partially emerging, globose-convolute, ochre to nearly 

 white 1 cm. diameter, fleshy-cartilaginous, hollow,, 

 closed or opening on one side towards the base; 

 hymenium covering the internal surface, wall 1.5 mm. 

 thick. Asci linear, spores 8 uniseriate, elliptic, obtuse,. 

 coarsely echinulate 24 x 16 fx. Paraphyses filiform,, 

 with a globose tip. 



Oascade estate, Hobart. 



Very like Hydnocystis cydospura, only very differ- 

 ent spores, and not opening above. 



Aidograijhum eucalypti, C. ef M. Linear black 

 apothecia, many on livid spots. 



On leaves of Euc. ohiiqua, and other Eucalypts. 



Microthyriuni. amygdalinum, G. et M. A shield 

 shaped flat iDeritliecium, superficial. 



On the surface of leaves of Euc. amygdalina and' 

 others. 



Erysiphe j)olygoni, B.C., also known as Erysiphe 

 romm.u?iis, Grev., is a mildew that is making its presence 

 felt a.mongst garden flowers, especially Sweet Peas. 



Hypocrea sulfur /a, Schw. C. G. Lloyd writes 

 that our plant, commonly referred to //. citrina, Pers.^ 

 is erroneously determined ; should be as above.
