J. B. CLELAND AND E. CHEEL. 



Bot. Gard., Sydney, 1910 (1911), 11. We have also ad- 

 ditional specimens to record from Nyngan, collected by E. 

 Mackinnon in February, 1911, and B. Breakwell, in May, 

 1914. It is recorded for Australia by Lloyd (Lycoperdacese 

 (1905), 5, pi. 25, figs. 1, 2 and 3), who says that "at Kew, 

 England, there is a poor specimen from Suttor River, on 

 which the record of P. indica, Spreng. in Cooke's Handbook 

 is based." The spores in our specimens are sub-globose, 

 12 x 9/x. 



Tribe Tylostomeae. 



Tylostoma. 



{2.) T. MoAlpinianum, Lloyd, Tylostomeae, p. 15, (1906), 

 pi. 78, and Letter No. 31. 



Specimens collected in Meadow-land at Penshurst in 

 June, 1907, were recorded by one of us (E.G.) in Proc. Linn. 

 Soc. N.S.W., xxxii, (1907), 840, under the name T. mam- 

 mosum, Pr. Duplicates were sent to Mr. Lloyd who has 

 determined them as the above. Specimens collected at 

 Reynella near Adelaide in July, 1914 (J.B.O.), have been 

 identified by Lloyd also as this species. Spores of this 

 latter collection are pale yellow, finely warted, 5*2 to 5*5/* 

 in size. Another collection made at Dubbo, N.S.W., in 

 July, 1915, has likewise been identified by Lloyd as T. 

 McAlplnianum. In these specimens, however, there is a 

 thick, warty yellow-brown epispore which is elliptical (12 

 x 10'4/x) or spherical (10*4 to 12/^) surrounding a spherical 

 spore of 7 to 8*5/^ in size. The capillitium is hyaline, 2*5/x 

 thick. In addition to the above we have other specimens 

 which appear to belong to this species from the following 

 localities: — Goulburn (E. Oheel, April, 1908); South Head 

 near Sydney (W. Oraigie, August); Botanic Gardens, 

 under pine-tree (E. Cheel, June); Nyngan (E. Mackinnon, 

 August 1913).
