Rev. M. J. Berkeley on British Fungi. 359 



158. P. Ciborioides, Fr. Syst. Myc. 2. p. 1 1 7. On oak leaves, 

 King's ClifFe, and at Speke, Lancashire. My plant is exactly 

 that of Montagne in Ann. des Sc. Nat., from whom I have 

 specimens. 



159. P. versiformis, Pers. Ic. et Descr. 1. p. 25. On old 

 stumps of ash for two successive years at Apethorpe, Norths., 

 in company with Sphceria Bombarda and Bulgaria sarcoides. 

 A very fine and distinct species, nearly allied to Patellaria. 

 Montagne informs me that Patellaria pulla, Fr., is the same 

 plant. The sporidia are elongated and obtuse at either end. 



160. P. Ledi, A. & S. t. 10. f. 7- On Arbutus Uva Ursi. 

 Found by Mr. Churchill Babington in Glen Coe, Sept. 1838. 



161. Cenangium ferruginosum, Fr. Syst. Myc» vol. ii. p. 187. 

 Found abundantly at Milton, Norths., on branches of fir, P. 

 Pinaster var. maritima, which have been accidentally broken 

 off, but never on decayed branches. 



162. Stictis Phacidioides, Fr. Syst. Myc. 2. p. 198. Found 

 by Mr. Churchill Babington on dead leaves of Arbutus Uva 

 Ursi, Lubcroy, Sutherlandshire. 



166. S. Lichenicola, Mont. Ann. des Sc. Nat. n. s. vol. v. p. 

 281. 1. 13. f. 3. This very curious production occurred abun- 

 dantly at Wareham in 1832, and Mr. C. Babington has found 

 it in the Isle of Skye. I am not at all sure that it is a true 

 Fungus. Its sporidia, as Montagne remarks, and my own ob- 

 servations confirm the fact, are exactly like those of Urceolaria 

 scruposa. 



167- S. nivea, Pers. Myc. Eur. 2. p. 337. Desm. n. 763. 

 On Pinus Pinaster, var. maritima, Milton, Norths. 



168. Sclerotium cepivorum, n. s. Dense gregarium, 1. con- 

 glomeratum, minutum, globosum, nigrum, e subiculo albo mu- 

 cedineo emergens. Very common on onions at the point from 

 which the roots spring, and often very destructive. Com- 

 mencing with a white mucedinous patch about the fibres 

 which decay, and in consequence the onion becomes loose, 

 and is said to be mildewed. In this subiculum arise minute 

 globose black bodies, either simply gregarious or conglome- 

 rated, which become at length in a greater or less degree free. 

 Far smaller than Sclerotium semen, from which it differs in 

 its mode of development, and several other points. Young 

 specimens, when dry, are much collapsed, but more advanced 

 individuals are slightly rugose. 



163. Sclerotium roseum, Kneiff. in Moug. and Nest. n. 884. 

 Found by Mr. Churchill Babington at Thringstone, Leic, 

 with Leptostroma junceum, in the pith of Juncus conglome- 



atus. 



164. Acrospermum graminum, Libert., Cord. Ic. part 3. fig.
