1135. Anthostoma conostomum {Mont.). Fiom authentic 
specimen just examined this appears to be a genuine Hypoxylon 
(No. 52a.) 
1137. Anthostoma hypophlaeum (^. ^ Rav.). This is Nummu- 
laria hypophlcea, B. & E. See “ Grevillea,” p. 8. 
1140. Anthostoma rumpens (GooZ;^). Nummularia rum- 
p)ens (Cke.). See “ Grevillea,” p. 8. 
1141. Anthostoma Massare {De Not) is, according to authentic 
specimen, a good Hypoxijlon^ and must remain as Hypoxylon Mas- 
sares, De Not. 
Additions.— The additions proposed are very few, because, not 
having this revision in view, no notes have been made, and not 
liaving “ fungus spores on the brain,” we have been content to 
classify and arrange specimens without any special reference to 
what we regarded as a specific rather than a generic character. It 
is just possible, should we find leisure to proceed any further, that 
amongst others of the old genera some species may be found which 
would be better localized in this genus, if indeed there is any valid 
reason for the genus at all. 
We may observe in passing, and acknowledge with gratitude, 
that Prof. Saccardo has, in the Appendix to his last volume, kindly 
pointed out several typographical errors (p. xlii.) in our com- 
munications. We can only regret that we ai-e unable to reciprocate, 
and return the compliment, since, were we to do so, the list would 
occupy far more of our space than we can conveniently spare for 
such a purpose. W e nevertheless thank him for his benevolent 
intentions.
