 to my eye."

Xylaria brasiliensis (Theiszen) — On earth in a cornfield at Greenport in 

 September. Determined by Dr. Lloyd who says; "We con- 

 sidered and figured this (Mycol. Notes no. 61: 893, Fig. 1559. 

 Oct. 1919) from Brazil, but hardly expected it to come from 

 New York. Surely it is the same plant, the features and 

 habitat — growing in the ground with long rooting base, the 

 simple clubs, the protruding small perithecia and the small 

 spores, 4 X 6 m- The spores are smaller than the brazilian 

 plant which measures up to 4 X 8 n. Sometime ago we 

 received a lot of Xylaria from Carlos E. Chardon, Porto Rico, 

 and one that although immature, we referred to Xylaria brasi- 

 liensis. We overlooked the label. This was collected by 

 Prof. H. H. Whetzel at Ithaca, and hence Mr. Latham's col- 

 lection is the second made in the United States. It is a rare 

 find and a fine collection."
