Bulgaria xnicrospora, Berk. 
Crowded or scattered ; sessile, at first sub-turbinate, then ex- 
panded ; hymenium plane or concave, umbilicate, wrinkled, 
shining, purplish-brown, black when dry ; flesh gelatinous, 
wrinkled ; asci cylindraceo-clavate ; sporidia elliptic, narrowed at

Venezuela. (Herb. Berk .) 
Ombrophila aurata {Berk, fy Rav.), Phil. Peziza aurata, Berk, fy Rav. 
in RaveneVs JExs. Fasc. III., No. 37. 
In clusters or single, at first closed, then concave, at length 
expanded, convex, with undulate margin, half an inch wide ; 
young plants greenish yellow without, with the disc dark green ; 
in age becoming fuscous, underside venose ; asci clavate ; 
sporidia 6 or 8, fusiform, hyaline, 5x2; paraphyses scarce. 
On dead wood of Acer. South Carolina. 
The thin flexuous cups (1 to 3 lines broad), the short tapering 
stem, and the yellowish green colour are marked characters. The 
asci are slender in the lowest third of their length, 30 x 4 /x. 
Ryparobius tenacellus, Phil. 
Scattered, minute ; at first cylindrical, then hemispherical, im- 
marginate, white, glabrous, with a tough membranaceous epidermis ; 
hymenium plane, or slightly convex ; asci broadly clavate ; sporidia 
36, elliptic, hyaline, 12 X 8 fi ; paraphyses stout, enlarged at the 
apices, at first filled with large guttas, then pseudo-septate. 
On rabbits’ dung. The Wrekin, Shropshire, Britain. 
The asci are 70-80 x 27-30 p; the cells of the epidermis are 
10 jx in diameter, and are strongly adherent, as indeed is the whole 
of the pseudo-parenchyma ; the paraphyses at the apices are 6 p 
thick. This species approaches Ryparobius albidus , Boud, but has 
largerasci and sporidia, and is quite white.
