NEW BRITISH FUNGI. 
Cl 
Boletus spadiceus, Schcejf., Grev. yiii. 4. 
This species, heretofore recorded only for Scotland, has been 
figured by Mr. Worthington Smith from specimens found at Stoke 
Pogis in 1872. 
Folyporus (Hispidi) Herbergii, Rostk. Poly. t. 18, Grev. VIII. 5. 
This species, recorded hitherto only for Scotland, was found by 
the late Mr. F. Currey in Kent. Has since been found by Mr. 
Howse, near Guildford, and by ourselves last year at Langley, 
Herts. It can hardly be considered a form of P. spongia , to which 
Fries has referred it, but is related rather to P. cuticularis. 
SYNOPSIS PYRENOMYCETUM. 
( Continued frcm p. 45.) 
We prefer to regard the Dothideacece as including three sub- 
families, viz. : — 
1. Dothideoidei = the more typical subfamily. 
2. Rhytismoidei = embracing the six or seven genera into which 
it is probable that the old genus Rhytisma will be divided, but 
which some authors relegate to the Discomycetes. 
3. Stigmateoidei == with the perithecia more or less discrete. 
Through this latter the Dothideacece are united in one direction 
with the Perisporiacece, and in another with the Sphceriacece (in a 
broad sense). 
The affinities of Rhytismoidei, are, to our mind, stronger in the 
direction of Dothidea than in that of Phacidium. Although this 
may be very much a matter of opinion. 
The following species require correction : — 
4270. Dothidea iridis, Schwein. Herb. Berk. 9300. 
According to this specimen is Darluca filum. 
4261. Sphaeria constellatio, Berk, in Herb. 9071, is the same 
species with Micropeltis orbicularis. Cooke, Myiocopron orbiculare , 
Sacc. Syll. No. 5360. 
5171. Dothidea subcuticularis, Schwein. No, 1940. 
Is most probably an Asteroma. 
5176. Dothidea Polygalae, Schwein. 
Should be transferred to the neighbourhood of Asteroma. 
5211. Dothidea Phytolaccae, Schwein. Herb. Berk. 9209. 
Appears to be a Phoma. 
Dothidea maculaeformis ( Desm .) Feld. Fun. Rhen. No. 1023. 
This is Venturia Johnstoni (B. & Br,) 
5247. Sphaeria examinans, Perk, Mont.'] 
5395. Sphaeria morbosa, Schwein. j 
We cannot accept these two species amongst Dothideacece. The 
former is allied to Melogramma and the latter to Gibbera.
