_ Name— Hysterium, a genus of fungi, e?doc, likeness ; 
like a Hysterium. 
Thame (Dr. Ayres). Rudloe, Wiltshire (Mr. C. E, 
Broome). 
6. Stictis seriata. Lib. 
Innate, punctiform, orbicular, plane or but slightly 
concave, disposed in approximate series, rubro-fuscous ; 
asci linear-fusiform or subclavate; sporidia minute, 
oblong or fusiform (?); paraphyses filiform, slender, ad- 
herent. 
Stictis seriata—Lib., “Crypt. Ard.,” fase. iii. No. 233; 
Phil. and Plow., “Grevillea,” iv. p. 283. Mevia seriata 
—Fckl., “Symb. Myco.,” p. 249. 
Exs.—Lib., l. ¢.; Fekl., “F. Rh.,” 1841; Phil. “ Elv. 
Brit.,” No. 100; Rabh., “ Fung. Eur.,” 1710 and 1909. 
On Carex ampullacea. 
Receptacles about 150 to 200u, covering the leaves 
on the under side. This species is easily recognized, 
but after repeated searches I am not able to detect the 
sporidia. Fuckel says, “ sporidia 6 to 8, globosa, minuta, 
hyalina includentibus.” The asci are about 250 x 6. 
I am not sure that it should remain amongst the Stictes ; 
it is very near Phacidiwm. 
Name—Series, a row ; from growing in a row. 
Forres, N.B.! (Rev. Dr. Keith). 
7. Stictis Fagicola (nov. sp.). 
Gregarious or scattered, immersed, urceolate, yellow ; 
mouth connivent, nearly round or somewhat elliptic, 
surrounded by a spurious border of the same colour; 
asci cylindrical, slender; sporidia 8, fusiform, straight, 
simple, 8 x 2u; paraphyses filiform, globose at the apices. 
On beech—fallen, dead, decorticated branches. 
About + to 4 a line broad. Exactly resembling ex- 
ternally the next species, but having different asci, 
sporidia, and paraphyses. 
Name—Fagus, the beech, colo, to inhabit.
