On Sclerotium rosewm in dead juncus. 
The Sclerottwm is found in the pith of rushes, from 
which Mr. Currey found the Peziza freely developed 
(see “ Jour. Linn. Soe.,” vol. 1, p. 147). 
“The cup was of a bright brown colour, varying 
somewhat in shape; in most it was hemispherical, in 
some infundibuliform. In one the edge of the cup was 
erect, extending beyond the equator of the hemisphere; 
in others the édge of the cup was recurved and sinuous. 
The number growing from one Sclerotiwm varied from 
2 to 13, and the greater the number the less was the size 
of the individual. The diameter of the largest cup was 
rather more than one-half, and of the smallest about +4 
of an inch. The stalk was well developed, being gene- 
rally about the length of the diameter of the cup, of a 
darker colour, and tapering somewhat from above down- 
wards. In one specimen the base of the stem at its point 
of junction with the Sclerotvwm was thickly covered with 
hairs” (F. Currey).
