 and Br.; Peziza cinereo-nigra, B. and Br. : Linn. Trans., i., 

 404, t. 46, f. 16-18; Lloyd also mentions as synonyms 

 Rhizina reticulata and Peziza rhytidia, and quotes Massee for 

 a figure (Jour. Linn. Soc, xxxi., pi. 16, f. 17); as Urnula 

 campylospora in Cooke, Handb. Austr. Fungi, No. 1453, f. 

 165 (Q'land), and in Lloyd, Mycol. Notes, No. 49, 1917, p.

 wood, Lisarow, August, 1916 (asci 350 x 17 fi, sporidia curved 

 26 x 8'5 (j,). On fallen wood, National Park, New South 

 Wales, July, 1916 (under-surface and stalk black, finely

 1508 (Q'land). — Lloyd has identified a specimen for us, found 

 on old Poly porn s Berkeleyi at Lisarow in June, 1916. He 

 thinks this is probably also H. rosellus (Cooke, No. 1506, 

 W. Austr.). Asci about 100 x 5 /x ; sporidia constricted in -the 

 centre, pointed at the ends, 17*5 x 3 '4 y, (Lloyd found them

243. Xylaria anisopleura, Mont.: Syll., 688; Cooke: 

 Handb. Austr. Fungi, No. 1535 (Q'land) ; as X. tuberiformis, 

 Berk., in Lloyd, Mcyol. Notes, No. 48, 1917, p. 678, fig. 1011 

 only, later in Xylaria Notes, ii., 1918, p. 24, on the advice of 

 Petch referred to X. anisopleura. — Our specimens, identified 

 by Lloyd (No. 228), and referred to and figured in the above 

 Notes, were gathered on a fallen trunk at Mount Irvine in 

 June, 1915 — asci about 100 jix long; spores black, often 

 slightly curved, 12*5 x 7 /a. 



244. Xylaria phosphor ea, Berk.( ?): Linn. J., xiii., 177; 

 Grev.: xi., t. 168, f. 75; Cooke: Handb. Austr. Fungi, No.

 104 x 8'5 [x; spores black, 12 to 13*8 x 6'6 /a, one side slightly
