broad but longer than the asci, acutely pointed. Whole plant 
about 5 mm. high. 
On fallen twigs of Myrica gale. Capel Curig, North Wales;

132. Feziza (Dasyscyphae) Rhytismae. Phil. 
Minute, gregarious, stipitate, white ; cups at first globose, then 
expanded, clothed with short, white hairs bearing on their 
summits globular crystalline beads ; stem rather long, villous to 
the base ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia 8, oblong-fusiform, *003-*005 
X *001 mm. ; paraphyses as broad but longer than the asci, acutely 
pointed. 
Parasitic on Rhytisma acerinum. Fr. Scotland. The Rev. James 
Keith. 
This is distinguished from its allies by its habitat, size of 
sporidia, and the rough globose beads on the points of the hairs. 
133. Feziza (Dasyscyphae) aranea. D. Ntrs. Micr. It. Dec. I., n. 1. 
Tricho-peziza , Sacc. Michelia, 1878, p. 253. 
Cups minute, sessile, scattered, closed, then open, white, clothed 
with long white flexuous hairs ; disc, when dry, pale yellow ; asci

*0015 mm. ; paraphyses filiform. 
On the inside of the husks of the Spanish chestnut. Holme 
Lacy. Oct., 1879. 
The cups are about *l-*3 mm. across. They are at first mere

•002 mm. 
It is a pleasure to bear our testimony to the extreme accuracy 
of the late M. Desmaziere, whose diagnosis given above of this 
interesting addition to our flora has required from us but few 
additions.

gelly, North Wales, and Scotland. Rev. J. Keith.

On the ground amongst moss in fir woods. Scotland. Rev. J. 
Keith.
