through the epidermis of the bark in little pustules, which soon 
become confluent, surrounding the branch, circumferential pustules 
discrete, spores at length falling out and leaving cup-shaped depres- 
sions, surrounded by cuticle ; spores 15 mk., long, oval, in short 
chains of two or three, terminal upon the lerial hyplue. 
On Myrica Gale. North Wootton. When it occurs upon the 
smaller branches it is in the manner of an encircling zone, 1 to 3 
centemeters wide, which quickly causes loss of vitality of the parts 
beyond, very much in the same manner that Rhytisma maximum 
does. It also occurs on the under surfaces of living leaves, upon 
reddish brown spots. 
t. 94 f. 1. Ramularia destructiva on leaves and branch of 
Myrica Gale, with spores and hyphse magnified. 
66. Fusidium (?) astexis. n. sp. 
Spores emerging from the leaves in minute heaps, which are col- 
lected into clusters ; the central portions confluent, the circumfer- 
ential discrete. Spores cylindrical, about 25 mk. long, mixed with 
mycelial threads. Kings Lynn, on both surfaces of the fading 
leaves of Aster tripolium. Sept., 1876. 
67. Verticicladiumtxifidum. Preuss. 
Our specimens accord perfectly with the figure in Sturm. Deut. 
Flora., part iii., t. 56. 
On pine leaves. Near Shrewsbury. 
* Feziza (Maczopodes) Coxium. Weher. 
North Wootton Heath, from April to November, 1876. 
* Feziza (Saxcoscyphae) pygmoea. Fr. 
This curious little species occurred on gorse at Pulborough, 
Kent, Spring, 1877, and was sent us by Cecil H. Sp. Perceval, 
Esq. 
* Feziza (Hymenoscyphae) caucus. Rebent. 
On catkins of poplar. Perth. Dr. Buchanan White. 
68. Feziza (Hymensoscyphae) amentacea. Ball. Phillips El. Brit 
No. 116. 
Sporidia •012x’0055m. m. 
This is hardly distinguishable from the preceding species. 
Fuckel says (Symbol. Mycol., p. 311), that it is separated by the 
darker colour, thicker stem, and flatter cup ; he also finds the 
sporidia smaller. These differences were not perceptible in our 
specimens. 
Spring. On catkins of willow. Perth. Dr. Buchanan White. 
* Feziza (Tapesia) domestica. So7i\ Pez. pluvialis. Cooke in My co- 
graphia. Fig, 90. Ph. El. Brit. No. 113. 
This occurred in considerable quantity on a damp plaster wall at 
the Hereford Asylum in 1876, and was sent by Dr. Chapman. It 
has also appeared on damp wall paper in Shrewsbury. These 
specimens have been carefully compared with Sowerby’s original 
specimens figured in“British Fungi,” t. 351, in the possession of the 
Rev. M, J. Berkeley, and there can be no doubt of their identity.
