156 DR LAUDER LINDSAY ON THE SPERMOGONES AND PYCNIDES 
Specimen 2.—Moors on hills east of Sligachan, Isle of Skye, August 1856, W. 
L. L. Spermogones are abundant on the margins of the scyphi, as largish, distinct, 
tub-shaped or globose warts, of a deep brown colour, with distinct ostioles, some 
of them very large and gaping, round, triangular, or stellate. The spermatia are 
all curved, apparently of equal thickness throughout, and about sth long. 
Specimen 3.—Kinnoull Hill, Perth, March 1856, W. L. L. The spermogones 
fringe plentifully the sterile scyphi as small, spherical, brown cones or warts. 
Specimen 4.—Siberia, Soongarica; collected by Karetrn and Krritorr, 1840; 
in Herb. Hooker, Kew. No apothecia, but with spermogoniferous scyphi. 
Specimen 5.—Road to Wellington Falls, Van Dieman’s Land; Mossman, 1850; 
in Herb. Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. No apothecia, but with spermogoni- 
ferous scyphi. 
Specimen 6.—ScHARER exs. 52 (sub C. pyaidata, a. polyscypha, B. exigua); 
on the trunks of trees; no apothecia. This is simply a spermogoniferous state. 
There are no spermogones on the short scyphiferous podetia; but barrel-shaped 
ones are seated on the tips of simple, cylindrical, elongated podetia, which resemble 
those of gracilis or macilenta. 
Specimen 7.—ScHARER exs. 53 (sub a. polyscypha, C. simplex); on the ground 
and the trunks of trees; in abundant fructification. The spermogones are abun- 
dant on the margins of the scyphi, as small barrel-shaped or conoid bodies. 
Specimen 8.—ScHARER exs. 58 (sub +. longipes, LE. tubeeformis) ; on the ground 
in woods. This is simply a spermogoniferous state; it bears no apothecia. The 
spermogones are small pale brown cones or tubercles, sparingly fringing the very 
irregular denticulate scyphi. 
Specimen 9.—ScHARER exs. 268 (sub &. communis); in damp and shady places. 
The spermogones are large barrels on the margins of broad scyphi. 
Species 2. C. jimbriata, Fr., 
Likewise a cosmopolite ; it seems to me to be but a form of the preceding species, 
marked by toothed scyphi, the margins of which sometimes bear small secondary 
podetia. 
Specimen 1.—Bogin, County Derry, D. Moors, in Herb. Carroll; with deformed 
apothecia. This ismerely aspermogoniferous form of C. pyaidata, in my opinion, 
though it is the form which NyLanper refers to his jimbriata. The spermogones 
occur on the diaphragm, as well as the margins of the scyphi, as short, distinct, 
brown tubercles. The spermatia are all slightly curved, crescent-shaped, about 
goth long, with a breadth of smth. Thesterigmata are very ramose and delicate, 
about nth long, with a breadth of youth. 
Specimen 2.—Craigie Hill, Perth, April 1856, W. L. L. The spermogones are 
seated on small prolongations from the margins of the scyphi.
