Emendations. — We would suggest the following emendations in 
respect of species with which we are acquainted, presumably on 
sufficient authority. 
All that regards arrangement will be alluded to hereafter, together 
with a proposed re-arrangement, which need not be discussed at 
length, as it would occupy a large amount of space, and there is 
no substantial difference between ourselves and Professor Saccardo 
on the principles upon which such arrangement should be based. 
Primarily, we would exclude from the genus Nos. 24, 80, and 81, 
as these were relegated to a new genus, Glaziella, by Berkeley, 
in 1879, as — 
24. Glaziella abnormis, (B.) Cke. 
80. Glaziella aurantiaca, Berk. 
81. Glaziella splendens, Berk., together with 
Glaziella vesiculosa. Berk. 
Glaziella ceramichroum, B. & Br. 
They are nearer to Hypocrea than Xylaria, and would occupy an 
analogous position in Eypocreacei to Daldinia in Xylariei. The 
diagnosis of the genus is— “ Stroma subglobose, brightly coloured, 
fleshy. Perithecia pallid, filled with hyaline gelatin.” Although 
Sphceria compuncta , Jungh., is by no means a good Xylaria , it 
could scarcely be transferred to this genus (32) and would be 
better in Hypoxylon. 
In the next place there are some species that are repeated under 
other names ; for example —
