octosporis. Spondiis allantoideis, minutissimis, 3-4 x 1 p vel 
minoribus, hyalinis. 
In cortice Ailauthi. Staten Island (Mrs. Britton ) 
Pustules much more numerous than in Valsa glandulosa and 
sporidia smaller. Moreover, the elongated beaks are distinctly 
sulcate. It differs entirely in habit from Kutypella ventriosa , C. & 
E., and Eutypella ailanthi, Sacc., as well as in the very minute 
sporidia. Superficially it resembles Valsa ceratophora , Tul.

ON CAMPBELLIA, Gen. Nov. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
Two species of large stipitate Fungi have been communicated 
from Africa and Australia, which it hardly seems possible to 
include in any known genus of H} menomycetes. The hymenium 
and spores resemble Merulius rather than Laschia. The habit is 
that of Boletus , the substance gelatinous, becoming horny, and all 
the features suggesting a link between Boletus and Lascliia. From 
Merulius it differs in the deeper pores, stipitate form, and fleshy 
pileus. From Laschia in its more fleshy character, more decided 
pores, with thin membranaceous dentate dissepiments, more or less 
lacunose interior (at least when dry) and terrestrial growth. From 
Boletinus in its tremeilose, almost gelatinous substance. 
Genus CAMPBELLIA, Cke. Sf Mass. 
Fleshy, soft, tremeilose, horny when dry, pileate and stipitate ; 
hymenium inferior. Flesh more or less lacunose (especially when 
dry), spongy. Pores large, angular, usually toothed or serrate at 
the edge, rather deep, with thin flaccid dissepiments. Trama 
descending. Spores elliptical, brown. 
Name from Miss F. Campbell (Mrs. Martin), an enterprising 
Australian mycologist, who communicated one ot the species.
