FUNGI OF CALIFORNIA. 
21 
Dr. Harkness directed his attention especially to the fungi found 
growing on the bark and wood of the above-named trees, and, as 
might have been anticipated, he has found several species new to 
science, besides a large number of already described species. 
Didymium [clavus. A. Sf S . — No. 504. 
Comatricha Friesiana. D’By. — No. 647. 
Comatricha typhina. Both. — No. 968. 
Dictydium cernuum. (Pers.)— Immature. No. 606. 
Trichia varia. Pers.— Nos. 590, 997, 1039 ? 
Arcyria nutans. Bull— No. 469. 
Lycogala epidendrum. Bux. — Nos. 447, 524, 895. 
Cyathus striatus. Boffm . — No. 477. 
Fusisporium sp. ?— On fruit of Oreodaphne Californica. No. 505. 
Stilbum fimetarium. B. Sf Br. — No. 550. 
Reissia semiophora. Fresen. — No. 605. 
Myxotrichum ochraceum. B. Br. — No. 884. 
Chaetomium elatum. Kze. — No. 554. 
Peziza fulgens. Pcrs. — Nos. 611, 658. 
Peziza bufonia. Pers. — No. 932. 
Peziza (Cupulares) secreta, n. s. — Gregarious, sessile or sub- 
stipitate, medium sized, salmon-coloured, concave, sulcate towards 
the base ; margin thin, crenulate ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia 8, 
elliptical, smooth, hyaline, *016- , 018 X '009--01 mm. ; paraphyses 
filiform. 
On the earth in dense forests. No. 994. 
This differs from Peziza crenulata , B. & Br., in colour, the para- 
physes not being thickened upwards, the smaller sporidia, and 
growing on the earth. 
Peziza (Cupulares.) sub-urceolata, n. s. — Gregarious, stipitate, 
small, at first urceolato campanulate, then concave, smooth, pale 
orange, or pale tan-coloured ; margin thin, crenulate ; stipes short, 
rather thick ; asci cylindrical; sporidia 8, oblong-ovate, *019 x '008 
mm., smooth, hyaline ; paraphyses filiform, numerous. 
On the earth attached to buried fragments of wood by an abun- 
dant mycelium. In very young specimens the mouth of the cup is 
merely a minute pore, around which the edge forms a thin mem- 
brane or veil. No. 914. 
Peziza carbonaria. A. Sf S. — No. 637. * 
Peziza hinnulea. B. Sf Br. — No. 978. 
Peziza macrocystis. Coolce . — No. 922. 
Peziza (Humaria) gemmea, n. s. — Gregarious, small, sessile, 
fleshy, at first sub- turbinate, then expanded ; dis<! blood-fech; ex- 
ternally pale-red, smooth ; asci cvlindrical ; sporidia 8, sph&~>
