quite characteristic; the dark spores traversed by a projecting ridge 
were precisely similar to those of our English gatherings. M,. 
Hariot has kindly divided his specimen with us; it is the only 
f. 
Bapuamia panicea Rost. Although this is properly described as 
a sessile species, there are sometimes exceptions to the rule; the 
taining the two genera cannot be questioned. e have recently 
received from Dr. turgis a specimen of B. panicea gathered by Mr. 
red stalks. This is the first example of the species we have seen 
from America, é 
Bapuamia nitens Berk. We have received two interesting 
gatherings of this species, showing variation in the amount of lime 
sits. One was found by Miss Dent on dead wood near Churt, 
Surrey, in the winter of 1903-4; many of the sporangia are brick-red; 
in these the walls are densely charged with lime in rufous patches, 
Furieo ocuracea Peck. The occurrence of this species in Wales 
was recorded in this Journal for 1901, p. 84; a second British 
specimen was in by Mrs. Montague on Noy. 8 of the same 
year ; she found it on dead bracken in the Horner Valley, Porlock, 
JougnaL or Borany.—Von. 43. (May, 1905.] M
