It has previously been recorded for this State under the 

 name S. aurantiacum, Bull., by Mr. R. T. Baker, in Proc. 

 Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxxi, (1906), 720. 



(13.) S. vertucosum. 



This species is also common in the Sydney district. The 

 spores are shaggy, 8*5 to 11*5/*. We have the following 

 collections: — Sydney (J. B. C); Hawkesbury River (J.B.O., 

 June) ; Bulli Pass (J. B. 0., April) ; Mount Lofty, S.A. 

 (J. B. 0., July). 



Geaster. 

 The Geasters have been dealt with in No. II of this series 

 of papers. 1 



Mycenastrum. 



(14.) M. corium (Guersent), Desv. Syn. M. olivaceum; 

 M. phceotrichum. 



Lloyd points out (Lycoperdacese, p. 24) that the two 

 synonyms above, given to Australian specimens, are based 

 on the colour of the gleba which depends on the stage at 

 which the plant is collected. In Cooke's Handbook, p. 241,. 

 it is recorded for Victoria and Queensland only, but one of 

 us (E.G.) has recorded it for this State in Rep. Bot. Gard. 

 Syd., 1908 (1909), 12, and 1909 (1910), 10. Specimens have 

 also been identified by Lloyd in Letters No. 17, p. 2, and 

 No. 31, p. 1, as this species, from specimens collected in 

 this State by one of us (E.G.) and by Mr. W. W. Froggatt. 



We have also additional specimens from the following 

 localities: — Sydney district, several collections (Jan. and 

 May); Goulburn (E. Oheel, April, 1908); Susan Island,. 

 Clarence River (T. McDonough, June, 1909); Wollongong 

 (A. A. Hamilton, October, 1909); Wittagoona near Oobar 

 (L. Abrahams, September, 1910, spores globose, warty* 

 8 — 11/* diam., capillitium 5 — 10/* thick, spiny at the tips);.
