The sclerotium is plentiful in autumn near Aberdeen, 

 and also near Inveraray ; its presence is shown by the 

 pale colour of the stems, which are also marked with 

 scattered small spots of the type of Sp/iacelia. 



83. H. (S.) ciborioides (Fr.). (? M.S. 165 1, as Peziza cibo- 

 rioides Fr., Ph. 1 1 7). 



On beech-leaves. August. 

 Tay (Glamis). 



Mr. Phillips {I.e.) admits this species on Berkeley's autho- 

 rity as British, but with much doubt, in absence of 

 authentic specimens. 

 *84. H. (S.) baccarum. 



Sclerotium in berries of Vaccinium Myrtillus, which it fills 

 up and converts into a white mass. Auiumn. 

 * Tay ! *Dee ! 



The sclerotia are not rare up to 1500 feet; but I am not 

 aware of the apothecia having been detected in Britain. 

 Mr. Phillips does not mention the species as British. 

 Other species of this genus of fungi have been 

 described by Woronin from the fruits of the other 

 species of Vaccinium ; and should be sought for in 

 Scotland.
