(3.) T. albicans. 



A Tylostoma with a very marked tubular mouth obtained 

 near Morgan, S.A., in November, differs apparently from 

 our specimens of T. McAlpinianum identified by Lloyd, and 

 is, we think, this species which Lloyd records for Australia 

 (S.A.). The tubular mouth is longer than the latter species 

 — spores tuberculosely warty, 6 to 8*5/*. 



(4.) T. poculatum. 



Lloyd has identified as T. poculatum specimens collected 

 on a sandy hillock near Forbes in August, 1915. The spores 

 were flatly verrucose or almost polyhedral, yellow-brown, 

 7 to (occasionally) 8*5 x 5*2/*. (Lloyd's measurements of 

 them were 5 to 6^). Another single specimen, collected at 

 the same place, and probably the same species though the 

 mouth is less fibrillose, has rough spores 5 X 3'4/x. 



Ohlamydopus. 

 (5.) C. Meyenianus, Berk. (Tylostoma maxima, Cooke and 

 Massee). 

 In the National Herbarium there are specimens of this 

 species collected at Wittagoona near Oobar by Mr. L. 

 Abrahams in September, 1910. Mr. Abrahams states that 

 the specimens were found on " wind swept surface of hard 

 clay." 



The specimens collected by Mr. Abrahams are of special 

 interest as previous to this collection, the only solitary 

 specimen in existence from Australia was at Kew, England. 

 It was originally collected on the Gascoyne Biver, W.A.,. 

 by Mrs. Gribble, and according to Lloyd 1 there is " but one 

 species known, originally from Peru, but found also in 

 Western United States." Our specimens may be briefly 

 described as follows : — Volva about 3 cm. long, with rather
