his own handwriting : " Corynelia nberata Fr. on Podocarpus 

 macro phylla Don., Japan." A portion of this specimen was later 

 sent to the New York Botanical Garden and is in the herbarium 

 there. The writer has studied the specimen in the New York 

 Botanical Garden, and has received also for comparison a por- 

 tion of the material deposited at Kew. The two specimens are 

 clearly the same thing. The fungus is not, however, Corynelia 

 uberata. The perithecia are of greater diameter than those of C. 

 nber at a, and differ from them in shape and general appearance. 

 It is unfortunate that more material showing the fungus in all 

 stages of development is not available for examination, but there 

 can be no doubt that this represents a hitherto undescribed 

 species. It is of interest to note that C. uberata also occurs in 

 Japan.

Type : The type material of Alboffia oreophila has been lost. 

 Professor Spegazzini, in whose herbarium it was originally de- 

 posited, has, however, mailed to the writer material of another 

 collection which he regards as the same. This material though 

 young is unquestionably Corynelia oreophila. The original ma-' 

 terial on which C. oreophila was based is No. 301 Herb. Robt. 

 Fries in the Riksmuseets Vetenskapsakademien, Stockholm, 

 Sweden. A portion of the latter was communicated to the writer 

 by L. Romell and is No. 1577 Fitzpatrick Herb.
