 Bridge. (Coll. J. Needham, November 1898.) 



Previous distribution, Sweden and Germany. 

 Coryne aquatica Mass. et Crossl. (sp. nov.). 



Greg-aria, carnosa-gelatinosa, obconica vel substipitata, 

 plano-convexa, pallide lilacina, 4-10 mm. diam. ; ascis cylin- 

 draceis ad basim subattenuatis, octosporis, 57-60 x 6 /x ; sporis 

 monostichis hyalinis, 2-guttatis, ellipsoideo-oblongis, dein 2-3 

 septatis, 5-5*5 x 3'5 ; paraphysibus gracilibus. 



A very distinct species, approaching nearest to C. sarcoides 

 in general appearance, but differing widely in structure, spore 

 measurement, and in aquatic habitat. 



Gregarious, among moss on a boulder in a stream. The 

 fungus was growing at the water-level when the stream was 

 low, and must oflen have been submerged.
