6 
NUMMULARIA AND ITS ALLIES. 
the classified list in which the numbers are quoted of such as are 
to be found in the same work. 
Nummularia discincola (Schwz.), Sphceria discincola, Schw. 
Syn. Car., No. 63. Antho stoma discincolum^ Sacc. Syll., No. 1104. 
The authentic specimen examined by Currey, and the sporidia 
figured, is a Nummularia differing in no respect, as far as we can 
judge from Nummidaria discreta, to which species it was referred 
by Tulasne. What the species described by Fries (S. M. ii., 368) 
may be we do not venture to determine, but we have sufficient 
evidence that the Sphceria discincola of Schweinitz and of Currey, 
is a species of Nummularia, with sporidia from *013 X ’01 mm. 
Wherefore it should be placed in Antliostoma is one of the 
mysteries we fail to comprehend. 
5 Nummularia Baileyi (Hypoxylon Bailey i B. & Br.) 
Erumpens, orbicularis, cupulata unc. diam.), margine 
incrassato elevato, disco ostiolis prominulis asperato. Peritheciis 
elliptico-ovatis, centro immersis ; ascis cylindricis. Sporidiis 
ellipticis, fascis, variabilis ('013--02 mm. long.) 
On wood. Brisbane, Queensland {Bailey, 428.) 
14. Nummularia clypeus, {Sphceria Clypeus, Sckwz., Syn. Car., No. 42). 
Explanata, ambitu elliptico immersa, atro-nitens, ostiolis conicis 
prominulis exasperato (l-3in.) margine ligneo undulato cingitur. 
Ascis cylindraceis. Sporidiis ellipticis, utrinque attenuatis, 
amygdaleeformibus, continuis, fuscis (-02 X ‘008 mm.). 
On branches of Catalpa, &c. N. America (Dr. Curtis). 
16. Nummularia macula (Sclijvz.) Splmi'ia macula, Schw. Syn. Car., 
No. 38.

intermediis, plerumque magnis, fuscis. 
On bark. Clarence Eiver, Australia. (Miss. Thorneton). 
Sporidia very variable in form and size, larger than in N. 
rumpens, which it externally somewhat resembles. 
27. Nummularia mauritanica, Berk. Che. 
Discoidea, demum confiuens irregularisque, erumpens, convexo- 
applanata, laevis, ater. Ostiolis obsoletis. Peritheciis elongato-
