CxonprioperMa Lyauui Mass. Collected by Mr. R. E. Fries o 
dead leaves of Asplenium, 1000 metres above the sea at Avoukaltan; 
Jamtland, Sweden, ess, 7th, 1898. The specimen corresponds 
with the type in the Kew collection. 
Divymium pusium Rost. This on is in the usual abundance 
his winter on dead ivy-leaves in the ivy-covered hollow on the 
Undereliff, Lyme Regis, where it it first collected in this country, 
to my knowledge, in 1888; it is also not uncommon on dead holly- 
leaves in are parts . the district. 
D. zrrusum Link var. renvz. This slender plasmodiocarp form 
was found i in the same goer prcespepe on dead leaves in Wanstead 
Park, as in a Peet of 1896.* rag capillitium in the 
sporangia ined was pu éechas bro In February, 1898 
specimens seein > eenbineed | at Failand, near Brat, pe in general 
appearance to those from Wanstead; they g-shaped, Ped 
long plasmodiocarps with a deep central depression ; but th 
capillitium is colourless, recembling that of the type of D. effusum 
This prepa! supports the view that the form should be con- 
sidered as a variety and not as a ncn species, eapcempesinis 
the suthanicy of its characters in ag ead Park. In ‘The 
mycetes of Miami Valley,” . P. Morgan has d deadvtbed 
as a new species ‘* Didymium asada," which from the description

ave been only known hi therto from the gathering by Ab. 
Nesaes at Riva (Valsesia), N. Italy, in 1861. It was distributed 
among various collections through Rabenhorst’s Fung. Eur. Exsic. 
Mr. Fries’s gathering is a plasmodiocarp form, generally one 
h 
rope of the sa sa me species. It is pr obably Ake in from L. tigrinum 
but we require more material to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. 
8. rusca Roth. var. ruacoma. The form genuina of this species 
has grown for several years in large quantity on a fir-log in my 
garden at Leytonstone, during the summer months. In December, 
1898, a mass of white plasmodium emerged from this log, and,
