119 
On damp paper. Notts (W. Jenkinson). 
Quite distinct from Sporocyhe alternata and Stachyhotrys atra, 
both of which occur on paper. Spores globose, -OOS-'OOG mm. 
diam., pale brown. 
Macrospoxium nobile. Vize. 
Flocci fasciculate, short, erect, septate, brownish, simple, about 
as long as the spores ; spores large, subpyriform or irregular, mul- 
tiseptate (4-10), unequally vertically septate (2 6), brown, con- 
stricted at the septa. 
On dead stems, leaves, &c., of Carnation. Forden (J. E. Vize). 
Spores very large, ‘OG-’OS x '04 mm. ; flocci in tufts. A dis- 
tinct and characteristic species. 
Feziza (Cupulares) mellea. C. & Plow. 
Solitary, hemispherical, then flattened, with a slightly recurved 
margin ; disc honey-coloured, externally darker, orchraceous, 
granular ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia elliptical ; paraphyses fili- 
form. 
On putrid ash. King’s Lynn (C. B. Plowright). 
Cups about ^ of an inch broad ; sporidia *02 x ’Oil mm. 
Ascobolus (Ascophanus) lacteus. C.^ Ph. 
Scattered, milk white; disc flattened; asci narrowly clavate ; 
sporidia mostly biseriate, elliptical, hyaline ; paraphyses filiform. 
On cow dung. Shrewsbury. 
Cups 1-1^ mm. broad ; sporidia *01 X ‘005 mm. In external 
appearance it certainly resembles an Helotium, but here the resem- 
blance ceases. In size as well as sporidia it differs from the pale 
forms of Asc. ochraceus.

Sparsa. Peritheciis immersis ; ostiolis in tuberculo erumpente ; 
ascis cylindraceis ; sporidiis uniseriatis, elongato-ellipticis, trisep-

Sphaeria refracta. Cooke. 
Perithecia scattered, covered by the discoloured cuticle, some- 
what flattened; asci cylindrical; sporidia uniseriate, obtusely 
biconical, uniseptate, each cell with one or two nuclei. 
On Scirpus. N. Wootton. 
Perithecia small, scattered ; sporidia hyaline, highly refractive, 
uniseptate, each obtusely conical cell, with one or two nuclei, '035 
X ‘015 mm.
