CONFIRMATION OF DOUBTFUL RECORD. 

 Geaster rufescens. 



When the ' Y. F. Flo.' was compiled, the record of this 

 species for Pond Wood, near Boynton (' Nat.', July 1889, p. 

 192) was considered doubtful, and so bracketed. In October 

 1907, a fine species of undoubted G. rufescens was found on 

 bare soil under a sycamore tree, by the gardener in the grounds 

 ■of Mr. Whitley Thompson, Skircoat, Hahfax. V.C.S.W. 



Naucoria nucea (Bolton) Sacc. (' Nat.', '08, p. 385). 



NOTES ON A HUMARIA AND A GORGONICEPS. 



On December loth, 1908, Mr. Wilfred Robinson, Hull, sent 

 me a few ascophores of a discomycete, gathered on soil in the 

 Hull Dock Reservation. They come near Humaria Chateri 

 in general appearance, but differ in the spores being much 

 larger and more coarsely tuberculate than one would be given 

 to understand by the English descriptions. ' Phillip's Brit. 

 Disc.', p. 89, gives the spores of Chateri as ' higuttalate, asperate, 

 12x5 /A,' and quotes ' Gard. Chron.', 1872, p. 9, with figure; 

 ' Jour. Bot.', 1872, p. 86 ; ' Grevillea I.', p. 120, p. 8, figs, i and 

 2 (reproduced from ' Gard. Chron.). Massee Vol. IV., p. 405, 

 says : — ' epispore minutely reticulated, 13-16 x 7-8 /x. The spores 

 of the Hull ascophores are 20-21 X 9 (no guttae were observed) ; 

 Boudier, to whom specimens were submitted, considers them 

 even larger still (22-25 x 11-13 rt, ^.nd remarks, 'very near
