10. Peniophora Ravenelii. Cke. PI. 124, fig. 12. 
Metuloids obclavate (-03-035 x ‘008-01 mm.), Corticium aube- 
rianum , Rav. No. 1369, not Montagne. 
United States. 
The true Corticium auberianum, Mont., is destitute of metuloids. 
11. Peniophora carnea. ( B . Sf Cke.) PI. 124, fig. 11. 
Metuloids obtusely fusiform (-04 X '012 mm.), Corticium car- 
neum , B. & Cke., in “ Grevillea,” vii., p. 1. 
Texas ; California. 
12. Peniophora Ayresii. ( Berk .) PI. 122, fig. 1. 
Metuloids broadly fusiform, very large (*012 x *02-*025 mm.), 
Corticium Ayresii , Berk. , in Herb. 
Mauritius. 
13. Peniophora flavido-alba. Cke. PI. 125, fig. 14. 
Effused, immarginate, pale sulphury-yellow, or pale ochre, even, 
cracking transversely in drying, rather thin. Metuloids elongated 
fusiform (0T x ’015 mm.). 
On Myrica cerifera (Rav., 2529). United States. 
14. Peniophora limitata. (Fr.) PI. 123, fig. 7. 
Metuloids fusiform, small ( , 025- , 03 x '008), smooth above, 
Corticium limitatum , Fr. “ Hym. Eur.,” p. 656. 
Europe. 
15. Peniophora velutina. {Fr.) PI. 125, fig. 15. 
Metuloids scarcely rigid, fusiform (*05-‘06 X ‘01 mm.), Corti- 
cium velutinum , Fr. 11 Hym. Eur.,” 650. 
Europe. 
Rather an aberrant form. The metuloids more resemble hairs 
than the bodies met with in other species. 
16. Peniophora sparsa. {B. Sf Br .) PI. 125, fig. 16. 
Metuloids attenuated upwards, expanded, and often forked at 
the base (‘08 X ‘01 mm.), Corticium sparsum , B. & Br., “ Journ. 
Linn. Soc.,” xiv., p. 72. Ceylon. 
Another aberrant form. 
In Corticium ephebium , B. & C., and two or three other species, 
there are projecting cells or basidia on the hymenium, but these 
have quite a different character from the bodies which we have 
termed metuloids.
