Mortola, by Miss Constance Pim, in Jan. 1903. Although the 
specimen is immature, the dark parallel lines on the orange-brown 
sporangium-wall leave no doubt that it is the same species as the 
mature peal —. at La Mortola in Jan. 1902. 
C. Lyan Dr. Jahn has sent us part of a gathering OF 
this species oto “Bouth Tyrol. It was collected by Herr Retsdorf 
at an altitude of 6000 feet, close to melting snow. € specimen 
obtained by Dr. Bockhart on Carex sempervirens near me in 
1908, at an altitude of 5800 feet. The bulk of the spec con 
sists of sessile globose sporangia, with the white, Wedecly aaloateotie 
they would have been difficult to determine. In other species of 
the Calcarinee it is by no means exceptional to meet with sporangia 
in which the lime is absent, but that the deficiency of lime should 
be attended by so great a difference in the structure of the capilli- 
tium is remarkable. All our specimens of C. Lyalliit where the 
place of gathering has been known are from high altitudes, and

in the Devsy Valley, N. Wales, Mace we obtained this species in 
1900, it found it again in considerable abundance. There had 
been heavy rain, an nd the orange-yellow plasmodium and young 
sporangia were conspicuous on t € moss covering the slaty rocks.
