with S. duplex, Fr. on Sparganium, &c. and is remarkable for its 
coloured jelly, and, if the character be constant, for the oily globules 
contained in it.

29. Physarum metallicum, n. s. On a decorticated stick at Clifton 
Notts, November 1835. 
Peridium subglobose, slightly depressed, a line or more in breadth, 
sessile, (not adnate) quite smooth, very delicate, of a most beautiful 
metallic appearance, bursting irregularly. Sporidia and flocci pink- 
grey. This most beautiful plant connects Lycogala with Physarum, 
in consequence of its bright coloured sporidia. The peridium is, how- 
ever, perfectly simple.

34. Stilbum anomalum, n. s. On the dead leafless shoot of some 
hypnum on a loose stump, King's ClifFe. 
About half a line high, stem black, yellow above, generally smooth but 
sometimes furnished with a few short flocci towards the base, head 
subglobose, yellow, when placed in water falling away into subfusi- 
form sporidia, which rest upon a flat disc-like expansion of the upper 
part of the stem. Exceedingly like Stilbum xanthocephalum, but 
agreeing with S. atractium in its subfusiform sporidia. Its consistence 
is not, however, at all gelatinous. Is the character of fusiform spo- 
ridia of sufficient importance to separate this species from S. xantho- 
cephalum ? I have a plant with fusiform sporidia resembling in 
every other respect Stilbum rigidum.
