yards apart, and often closely associated with the Chondrioderma. 
Much of the orange-yellow plasmodium that gave promise of good

they were mostly hidden among the moss and difficult to detect, 
and the numbers Saget did not exceed one hundred, while those 
of the Chondrioderma may have reached a thousand. We m et with 
4 losing foetn like that received from Dr. Sturgis (see oy ae 
. l,¢.), in which the characters of the two genera were exhibited 
in oc same sporangium. Although the capillitium and spores were 
practically identical in the two forms, the Lepidoderma had always 
the Chondrioderma had, as constantly, sessile sporangia, with no 
noperens hypothallus; the difference i in the colour of the } plasmodium 
was easily recognized when the veins of each form approached so as 
almost to be in 1 contact on the same cushion of moss, the lemon- 
yellow of the one contrasting with the orange-yellow of the other; 
relationship by further observation. We owever, satisfied 
that the Chondrioderma found in Wales is the species given by 
Schroeter as C. ochraceum; with the abundant materi Ww 
possess, we are able to appreciate the accuracy of his description 
as applying to our gatherings. 
CuonpRIopERMA LuciDuM Cooke (Diderma lucidum Berk. & Br.). 
We obtained this species in greater abundance on our visit to 
Llan-y-Mawddwy in Sept. 1904 than on either of the previous 
occasions in 1900 and 1902. It had been observed by Mrs. 
our arrival, and we collected upwards of one thousand sporangia 
and which from its exceptional character suggested an abnormal 
development, is constant in all our specimens and in that collected 
y Mr. Barrell near Dolgelly in 1903 (see Journ. Bot. 1904, 138). 
Bapnamia Rusicinosa Rost. var. GLoposa. We have been favoured

the strongly reticulated spores, it resembles our gatherin rings in 
Wales ~ Journ, Bot. 1904, 133), inate we obtained it again in
