J. B. CLELAND AND E. CHEEL. 



There are specimens of this in the National Herbarium 

 from Melbourne, collected by McAlpine in July, 1900. We 

 have also specimens from Flinders Island, Bass Straits, 

 November (spores smooth or under oil-immersion lens 

 slightly rough, 3*5 to 4/x); Adelaide (spores smooth, 3*5/*, 

 small pedicels). 



(30.) L. gemmatum, Batch, -Lloyd, Lycoperdacese (1905) 



32, and Mycol. Notes, No. 21 (1906) 249. 



We have fine clusters of this species taken by one of us 

 (J.B.O.), growing in red clay at Lismore, N.S.W., in October 

 1913, and others from Port Hacking (E.G.) in August, 1915. 

 The spores of the Lismore specimens are spherical, 3*5 to 4/x, 

 appearing as very finely waited under an oil immersion lens. 

 The spines have fallen off and the surface is minutely pitted. 

 We also refer, to this species, specimens collected at Wilson's 

 Creek, Helensburgh, W. Oaigie, August, 1909; Dorrigo, 

 J. L. Boorman, May, 1909 ; St. Mary's A. A. Hamilton, 

 August, 1910; Leura, B. Carney, 1915. The spores of these 

 collections are practically identical, being globose, smooth 

 or very faintly warted, 3-4/* diam. 



(31.) L. pyriforme, Schaeff., Lloyd, Lycoperdacese (1905) 



33, and Mycol. Notes, No. 25 (1907) 318, and Letter 

 No. 13 (1906); R. T. Baker, Proc. Linn. Soc. (1906) 720. 



This species was found to be common at Mount Wilson, 

 Blue Mountains, in June, 1915, growing on fallen rotten 

 logs, spores smooth, 3*8/*. The shape of the plant is rather 

 pyriform. The peridium is dark brown from fine spines, 

 becoming brownish-white and slightly areolate as these 

 fall off. We have also specimens collected in the Botanic 

 Gardens. L. pyriformc (spelt piriforme) var. flavum* 

 Lloyd, Letter No. 60, pp. 4 and 11 (1915). Type probably 

 from Botanic Gardens, Sydney.
