SPECIES NOT MET WITH IN THE QUOTED COLLECTIONS. 
9. D. Mvipes Eries, Stirp. Femsj., p. 83. Stalks compressed, 
sulcata, orange-scarlet ; sporaiagia globose, grey, villous ; spores 
blackish. 
Hah. On rotten birchwood. — Sweden. 
Stalks and hypothallus, when present, as in Trichia ruhiformis, 
2 mm. or more in length; sporangia often confluent, blackish, but 
clothed with delicate grey down ; columella none, flocci brown. 
The description suggests a mouldy specimen, possibly of Trichia 
Botrytis. 
10. D. versipelle Fries, Syst. Myc, iii., p. 117. Sporangia 
lenticular, umbilicate beneath, at first whitish-pruinose, then 
shining chestnut-brown ; stalk conical, rugose, pale yellowish-red ; 
columella brown; spores black. 
Hah. On dead stalks, etc. ; rare. — Sweden. 
Stalk 2 mm. long, arising from a vein-like hypothallus ; sporangium- 
wall membranous, at first pruinose, then naked and shining, opening 
by a longitudinal fissure ; columella as in Schrader's figure of D. 
tigrinum, Nov. Gen, PI., t. 6, fig. 3. 
This description applies to Lepidoderma tigrinum Rost. 
11. D. dsedalium Berk. & Br., in Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 2, 
v., p. 366 (1850). Sporangia connate, labyrinthine-sinuous, pale 
brick-red, of the same colour as the short connate stalks, sprinkled 
with white meal ; ilocci white ; spores purple-black, smooth, 
globose. 
Hah. In great abundance in a cucumber frame. — Milton, Norths. 
Spreading far and wide in little globose masses ; stems reddish- 
brown, inclining to orange, connate, as if composed of little flat 
bran-like membranes, sporangia having a greyish tinge from the con- 
tained spores, which are purple-black ; variegated with the white 
flocci, which are frequently forked, and vaiy greatly in width, being in 
parts flat, broad, and membranous. 
This description of the connate sporangia, membranous stalks, 
and white capillitium applies to some forms of Badhamia utricidaris, 
but the colour of the sporangia is against this determination. 
12. D. angulatum Peck, in Rep. N. York Mus. Nat. His., 
xxxi,, p. 4-1. Sporangia delicate, subglobose, whitish, clothed 
with minute granules and crystals of lime; stalk short, whitish; 
columella subglobose, pale yellowish ; capillitium scanty, delicate, 
white, or slightly coloured ; spores irregular, angular, black, 9 to 
12 fx. 
Hah. On dead leaves. — Adirondack Mts., N.Y. 
This description applies to specimens of D. effusum in which the 
spores have shrunk. 
13. D. connatum Peck, in Bull. Buffalo Soc. Nat. Sc., i., p. 64 
(1874). Peridium depressed or subglobose, cinereous, furfuraceous,
