NEW AND RARE BRITISH FUNGI. 
75 
On decayed stems of Equisetum . Shelton Rough, n. Shrews- 
bury, April. 
271. Cenangium urceoliformis (Karst). 
Scattered, commonly solitary, erumpent, sessile or subsessile, 
subspherical, nigricant, fusco-furfuraceous, becoming concentrically 
sulcate and naked, at first closed, then opening with a connivent 
mouth ; disc pallid-cinereous ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia filiform 
septate, '065 x '002 mk. Paraphyses filiform slender, often furcate. 
Peziza urceoliformis, Karst. Mongr. Pez., 172 ; Crumenula 
urceoli formis, Karst., Myc., Fenn., 213. 
On stems of Vaccinium vitis idcea. Grantown. N.B. Rev. Dr. 
Keith. 
The sporidia in our specimens are very much larger than those 
in Dr. Karsten’s, and it occurs on a different species of Vaccinium 
but otherwise it answers to the description. 
272 Phacidium striatum, n. s. 
Scattered, orbicular, rugoso-striate, splitting into 5-6 lacinise ; 
disc fuliginous ; asci clavate, attenuated towards the summit, 
sporidia 8, lanceolate, simple or 1 septate, '025-'03 X *002-'004 
mk. Paraphyses filiform, curved at the apices, numerous. 
On dead stems of Pubus. Dinmore, Herefordshire. 
This bears some resemblance externally to Phacidium rugosum 
Fr., but has totally different sporidia. 
273. Stictis pteridina, Phil. 8f Puck. 
Scattered, slightly immersed, circular or elongated, irregular, 
open ; disc pallid-brown, not deeply depressed ; margin mem- 
branaceous ; asci broadly clavate ; sporidia 8, biseriate, clavate or 
clavato-fusiform," six or seven times pseudo-septate, or muriform, 
•028-*044 x '005-*009 mk. Paraphyses adherent. Stictis Pteridina , 
Phil, and Buck,, in Fungi of the Bristol District pt. vi. 
On Pteris aquilina. Leigh Wood near Bristol. Mr. Cedric 
Bucknall. 
274. Capnodium Juniperi, n. op. 
Perithecia globoso-cylindrical, contracted at the base, about 200 
mik. high by 100 mk. wide, seated upon a thick dense felt of black 
mycelium, of which numerous black septate hyphse are attached to 
the base of the perithecia ; asci ovate 50 X 20, sporidia oval with 
pointed extremities, brown triseptate, biseriate 25 X 10 mk. 
On Juniper twigs. Forres. Rev. Dr. Keith. 
The mycelium envelops the twigs in a thick woolly black mass, 
in. which are often entangled the fallen leaves of the juniper. The 
antennaroid threads of which this mass is composed are possibly A. 
pithyophila, Nees. 
275. Eutypa velutina (Wallr.) } Sacc., Fungi., Venet., Ser. iv., p. 16. 
Fungi Ital., t. 472., Wall/r., FI. Crpt., No. 4066. 
Stroma widely extended, perithecia globose, black, sunk in the 
wood, shortly attenuated in the neck, ostiola conico-rounded 
smooth, shining, just emerging ; asci fusiform, stipitate, sporiferous 
part 35 x 4-5 : spores sausage shaped, pale olivaceous, 7-9 X 2.
