NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN FUNGI. 107 



(2.) C. vernicosus, Tul. 



This species has previously been recorded for Queensland, 

 Victoria and Western Australia by Oooke (Handb., p. 218) 

 and for Australia by Lloyd (Nidulariacese, 1906, p. 24). 



At Goulburn, N.S.W. some specimens were collected by 

 E. J. Rutherford, in July, 1911, and recorded by one of us 

 (E. 0., Rep. Bot. Gard., Sydney, 1911 (1912), 12), and we 

 have also some specimens collected by the other of us 

 (J.B.O.) near Adelaide, S.A., (spores 12 x 8*5/*) and at 

 Bibbenluke, N.S.W., in March, 1913, attached to stems of 

 grass (mouldy smell on crushing; spores 12 to 13*8 X 8*5/*). 

 (3.) C. striatus, (Huds.) Hoffm., Cheel, Rep. Bot. Gard., 

 Sydney, 1912 (1913). 



Jellore Greek, near Mount Jellore (E. Cheel, 1912). 



Crucibulum. 

 (4.) C. vulgare, Tul. 



Specimens of this species were collected on the ground 

 near dung at Orange by one of us (J. B. O.) in November, 

 1915, and have been identified for us by Lloyd, who adds 

 that there is only one species of Crucibulum (Oooke gives 

 C. vulgare and C. simile for Australia). Spores of these 

 specimens are 8*5 to 10*4 X 3'4 to 4'8/x. We have also 

 specimens of this species collected at Ohakune, New Zea- 

 land, in March, 1909, by one of us (E.O.), which are on dead 

 wood.
