thin. 
On trunks, etc. Kumuburra, Victoria. ( Martin , 1026, 1037.)

Hydnum (Resup) calcareum, C. Sf M. 
Chalky white, opaque, broadly effused. Subiculum adnate, 
crustose, smooth, mealy, indeterminate, extreme margin naked.

On bark. Victoria. ( Martin , 1027.) 
Stereum pannosum, CTce. Sf Mass. 
Caespitose, connate, sessile. Pilei soft, spongy, flexible, reflexed 
(2 c.m. or more), pale umber, velvety, concentrically zoned with 
elevated bands of the same colour, becoming pallid behind with 
age. Hymenium creamy -white, smooth, compact, at length 
cracking. Spores small (3x2 /x), hyaline. 
Amongst moss and on the ground. Victoria. (Mrs. Martin, 
1067, 1071.) 
Something like Stereum Micheneri , B. & C., superficially, but 
evidently quite distinct, with the appearance of a Thelephora. 
Cyphella longipes, Cke. Sf Mass. 
Gregarious, membranaceous, white. Pileus narrowly infundi- 
buliform, 2 m.m. broad, 4 m.m. long, attenuated downward into a 
long thin curved stem, 5 m.m. to 1 c.m. long, wholly smooth, 
thickest above, as it passes imperceptibly into the pileus. Spores 
pip-shaped, 7x6//. 
On bark in wet scrubs. Queensland. ( Bailey , 938.) 
Stephensia arenivaga, Cke. Sf Mass. 
Subglobose, irregular, or at length collapsed and cerebriform 
(4-6 c.m. diam.), pale, soft, becoming indurated, accumulating 
particles of sand, which become closely adherent ; gleba soft, 
dirty white, shrinking, and becoming irregularly lacunose ; asci 
clavate, sporidia 8, irregularly clustered, globose, smooth, hyaline 
(10 p diam,). 
In sandy soil. Elder Exploring Expedition. (Mueller.) 
Diploderma sabulosum, Cke. Sf Mass. 
Subglobose (2-3 c.m. diam.), pallid. External peridium thick, 
subgelatinous, collecting grains of sand, and becoming consolidated 
into a firm subglobose ball. Inner peridium membranaceous, 
persistent, soon free within the outer hard shell, silvery white. 
Capillitium radiating, consisting of parallel fibres. Gleba dirty 
white. Spores elliptical, smooth (14x7 /(), pallid, with a faint 
tinge of ochre.

Sphs&rella Goodisefolia, Cke. 
Epiphyllous. Spots orbicular, definite, brown, with a circum-

the spots, scarcely visible. Asci clavate, octosporous. Sporidia
