wthalia of Fuligo septica and large masses of Stemonitis splendens 
var. flaccida were conspicuous on the willow-trunk 
sh, 
and Tubulina fragiformis. Lycogala miniatum shows its pink and 
brown xthalia in all parts of the Bush.” 
Miss Hibbert-Ware collected thirty-five species of Mycetozoa, 
one of which is new to science. The following is the list of the 
Species she submitted to us :— 
Ceratiomyxa mucida Schroet. Dunedin, New Plymouth, and 
Stewart Island. 
Physarum globuliferum Pers. Stewart Island. 
P. citrinum Schum. Eltham, North Island.

purplish-grey when highly magnified, 10 to 11 » diam., closely 
reticulated with narrow dark bands; these form a net with five to

This Physarum is sharply Separated from other known species 
of the genus by the strongly reticulated spores, which recall those 
of Stemonitis trechispora Berk. Its nearest ally is perhaps P. psitta- 
cinum, which it somewhat resembles in the structure of the glossy
