278 DESOEIPTIVB CATALOCtUE 



Host. — Leaves of Dewcilquea coriacea, Aralia daphiiopJiyllam, 

 Iledera primordialis, and many others. 



Horizon. — Upper Cretaceous (Perueer Beds). 



Locality. — V)'serovio and Kounic, Bohemia. Very plentiful. 



These markings on the dicotyledonous leaves of the Bohemian 

 Perueer Beds are uudouhtedly very characteristic and easy to 

 recognise. I have seen them in other collections of Bohemian 

 plants, and think it very probable that they do truly represent 

 fungal remains, though the nature of the impressions does not 

 allow of microscopic esamiuation or of exact determination. 



Order BASIDIOMYCETES ? 



Genus TRAMETITES, Meschinelli. 



[In Saocardo, Sylloge Fungorum, x, p. 747.] 



Presumably with the characters of the living genus Trametes 

 but incompletely known. 



Trametites Pini (Conwentz), Meschinelli. 



1892. Trametes Pini, Ooii-wentz^ Untei'S. foss. Hblz. Schwed., 



pp. 13, 21,pl. vii,fig. 1. 

 1892. Trametites Pini, Meschinelli, Sjll. Fung, foss., p. 747. 

 1902. Trametites Pini, Meschinelli, Fungor. foss. omnium Icouog., 



p. 6, pi. iv, fig. 5. 



Meschinelli defines the species as follows : — CI. doct. Con- 

 wentz innumeras mycelii reliquias, lignum illud dum viveret a 

 parassitis vexatum ostendentes, in speciminibns suecicis invenit. 

 Hyphse tenues, jalinae, cinerese, brunneie et quandoque atro- 

 cinerese ad nigritudinem, ligni in directionem verticalem 

 discurrunt." 



In describing some Gymnospermic petrified woods from 

 Sweden, Conwentz (1892) mentioned the frequent occurrence 

 in them of fungal hypha). He gives a figure and short descrip- 

 tion of them and associates the name Trametes Pini with the 

 fungus, though ho does not absolutely identify it as such. 



Host. — Wood of Pinus Fathorsti. 



HoKizoN. — Senonian. 



Locality. — Sweden.
