  the 
  pileus 
  narrowly 
  conical 
  and 
  darker 
  colored 
  than 
  the 
  

   stem, 
  which 
  is 
  frequently 
  equal 
  to 
  the 
  pileus 
  in 
  diameter. 
  

   This 
  is 
  nearest 
  the 
  variety 
  conica. 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  at 
  

   Albany, 
  Prof. 
  J. 
  Hall, 
  and 
  near 
  Utica, 
  Hon. 
  H 
  Seymour. 
  

   A 
  third 
  form 
  has 
  the 
  stem 
  quite 
  long, 
  even 
  exceeding 
  the 
  

   pileus 
  in 
  length. 
  It 
  merits 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  variety 
  longipes. 
  

   I 
  have 
  seen 
  dried 
  specimens 
  only 
  and 
  do 
  not 
  know 
  the 
  

   color 
  of 
  the 
  fresh 
  specimens. 
  They 
  were 
  collected 
  near 
  

   Oneida 
  by

  Warne. 
  

  

  Spathtjlaria 
  flavida 
  Pers. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  two 
  varieties 
  of 
  this, 
  one 
  having 
  a 
  pale 
  or 
  whit- 
  

   ish 
  stem, 
  the 
  other 
  having 
  a 
  reddish-brown 
  or 
  bay 
  stem. 
  I 
  

   do 
  not 
  find 
  the 
  pileus 
  hollow, 
  though 
  it 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  so 
  in 
  

  

  some 
  descriptions. 
  

  

  Geoglossum

  Our 
  specimens 
  were 
  erroneously 
  referred 
  to 
  this 
  species, 
  

   the 
  description 
  on 
  which 
  we 
  relied 
  making 
  no 
  mention 
  of 
  

   the 
  fruit. 
  Our 
  plant 
  has 
  been 
  separated 
  by 
  reason 
  of 
  the 
  

   different 
  spores 
  and 
  is

  A 
  variety 
  occurs 
  with 
  the 
  club 
  irregular 
  and 
  much 
  flat- 
  

   tened 
  or 
  compressed. 
  It 
  might 
  be 
  called 
  variety

  There 
  is 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  this 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  stroma 
  is 
  confluent 
  

   in 
  patches 
  an 
  inch 
  or 
  more 
  in 
  diameter. 
  It 
  is 
  found 
  on 
  dead

  Mrs. 
  Milliugton 
  sends 
  an 
  early 
  state 
  of 
  this 
  plant 
  in 
  which 
  

   there 
  are 
  no 
  asci 
  but 
  numerous 
  spore-like 
  bodies 
  (sperma- 
  

   tia 
  ?) 
  oblong, 
  colorless, 
  .0004'-.0005' 
  in 
  length. 
  When 
  moist 
  

   they 
  ooze 
  out 
  and 
  form 
  a 
  whitish 
  or 
  pale 
  amber-colored 
  

   globule. 
  

  

  Melanconis 
  elliptica

  Further 
  observation 
  induces 
  me 
  to 
  place 
  this 
  species 
  in 
  

   the 
  genus 
  Diatrype. 
  The 
  spores 
  are 
  sometimes 
  .0018' 
  long. 
  

   When 
  young 
  they 
  are 
  six 
  nucleate.
