26. C. mutabile Schroeter, I.e., p. 123. Sporangia sessile, irre- 
g\ilar in shape, hemispherical, depressed, or curved and elongated 
1 to 3 mm. long, 1 mm. broad ; sporangium-wall shell-like, brittle, 
clear greyish-brown ; columella strongly developed, following the 
shape of the plasmodiocarp, bright red-brown ; capillitium of 
slender violet threads, with scattered knot-like thickenings; 
spores dark violet, spinulose, 11 to 14 /a diam. 
Hah. On dead wood. — Oppeln, Silesia. 
This description applies to C. niveum v. cleplanatum. 
27. C. ochraceum Schroeter, I.e., p. 124. Sporangia sessile, 
globose, or half-ring shaped, 1 to 2 mm. long, 1 mm. broad, 
crowded ; the outer sporangium- wall ochre-brown, opaque, break- 
ing up irregularly, the inner delicate, colourless ; columella 
wanting; capillitium well-developed, of smooth violet threads 
2 to 3 /X diam., branching and combined into a dense net ; spores 
dark violet, faintly warted, 9 to 11 diam. 
Hab. On liverwort. — Riesengebirge, Silesia.

Genus 10. — TRICHAMPHORA Junghuhn, Fl. Crypt. Jav., 
p. 12 (1838). Sporangia discoid or saucer- shaped, stipitate ; 
sporangium-wall membranous with evenly distributed deposits of 
innate lime-granules. Capillitium of colouiiess branching threads, 
without lime. 
1. T. pezizoidea Jungh., I.e. (1838). Plasmodium 1 Total height 
1 to 2*5 mm. Sporangia discoid or saucer-shaped, stipitate, erect 
or somewhat inclined, scattered, 0'8 to 1"3 mm. broad, 0"2 to 0*4 
mm. thick, pale grey ; sporangium-wall membranous, with thin 
innate deposits of lime equally distributed, breaking up into 
areolte and remaining attached to the capillitium after the dis- 
persion of the spores. Stalk subulate, longitudinally striate, 
orange-red, translucent. Columella none. Capillitium of branch- 
ing, anastomosing colourless thi-eads, with broad expansions at the 
axils and at the attachment to the sporangium-wall, without lime-
