The specimens are not in a sufficiently good state to enable us to draw up a 

 specific character. They exhibit abundant orbicular brown spots on either side of 

 the leaf, covered more or less with the stellate hairs. On the upper side only we 

 observe a few immature peridia. 



37. M. CIRCUMSCRIPTUM, Schwein. MSS., hypophyllum; maculis pallidis orbicularibus utrinque fusco- 

 cinctis ; peridiis congestis epidermide rufo connexis. 



On the leaves of some unknown plant; Surinam. 



Hypophyllous, forming regular orbicular rufous patches, with the peridia crowded 

 in the centre of pale spots, which are 1^ to 2 lines broad, and surrounded by a 

 distinctly defined brownish border. 



88. M. DECOLORATUM, Schwein. MSS., hypopyhllum ; maeulis fuscis orbicularibus margine indefinlto, 

 oppositis obscurioribus : peridiis brevibus subcongestis. 



On the leaves of some unknown plant ; Surinam. 



Hypophyllous, forming orbicular umber-brown patches, darker beneath, covered 

 with short peridia with a toothed rotate margin. Spores suborbicular or slightly 

 angular, l-1750th of an inch in diameter, very minutely granulated.

We find no fructification. The whole consists of brown matted threads, here and 

 there rising into tufts, and easily separating from the matrix. 



* 5". Surinamense, Schwein. MSS., is a mere mycelium after the fashion of 

 Himantia Candida, Auctt.

This very singular production, which unfortunately does not exhibit any fruit, 

 consists of little tufts of cups, free above but connate below, and calling to mind, by 

 its peculiar appearance, and the thick flexuous hyaline threads of which it is 

 composed, the genus Cijttaria. We have no doubt that it will ultimately compose 

 a distinct genus, but in the mean time we are glad to notice it under the name 

 assigned by Schweinitz. The tufts are about one line high and two thick, and 

 consist of about five cups, which individually resemble large specimens of Feziza 

 cyathoidea.
