and the margin downy, the down consisting of slender hin. 
walled, septate hyphse, 3-4 p thick, which spring from the'certical 
cells, margin formed of slender, parallel hyphas of irregular length, 
^-§ m.m. across; asci narrowly clavate, apex rounded, 8-spored ; 
spores obliquely 1-seriate, hyaline, smooth, continuous, cylindric- 
oblong, ends obtuse, straight or very slightly curved, 4-5 X 1-1-J p\ 
paraphyses hyaline, about 1^ /x thick, tips not thickened. 
Trichopeziza earoleuca , Sacc. Syll., vm., No. 1685. 
On dead wood, branches, etc. Berkeley says also on herbaceous 
stems, but I do not find such in his herbarium. 
This species appears to be not uncommon in the United States ; 
No. 631, Ravenel, Fung. Amer. Exs., is exactly typical. 
Type specimen examined. 
Peziza (Sarcoscyphse) melanopus, Perk. $ Curt., Ftingi Cubenses , No. 
674, in Linn . Soc. Journ., Vol. X , p. 367 (1869). 
Ascophore very shortly stipitate, clavate and closed at first, then 
expanding and becoming only slightly concave; disc yellow, 
externally whitish and downy, due to the presence of numerous 
cylindrical, septate, hyaline, obtuse, straight or slightly wavy 
hairs, 40-50x4-5 p, rough with minute particles of oxalate of 
lime ; hairs of margin similar, parallel ; excipulum parenchy- 
matous, cells small, much elongated radially ( [i.e ., from base to 
margin); 2-3 m.m. across; stem-like base very short, blackish; 
asci cylindric-clavate, apex rather narrowed, 8-spored ; spores 
arranged in a parallel fascicle, hyaline, continuous, very long and 
slender, curved, ends rather pointed, 38-47 X3-3-5 p ; paraphyses 
hyaline, cylindrical, apex not thickened, about 2\ p thick. 
Sarcoscyphus melanopus , Sacc. Syll., vm., No. 634. 
On wood among Jungermannice. Cuba. (Wright, No. 365.) 
Type specimen examined. 
Peziza harmoge, J3. # Br., Fungi of Ceylon , No. 931, in Linn. Soc. 
Journ., Vol. xrv., p. 104 (1875). 
Ascophore stipitate, closed at first, then opening and becoming 
almost or quite plane, rather thin and tough, flesh white, 
c.m. across ; disc mulberry-colour, externally pale tan ; stem 
about 1 c.m, long, 2-3 m.m. thick, equal, pale greenish-yellow 
with a tinge of rose, smooth ; hypothecium and excipulum formed 
of compactly interwoven, hyaline hyphee, 3-6 p thick, running out 
at the margin into parallel, septate hyphse ; asci cylindrical, 
rather thick-walled, apex thinnest, 8-spored ; spores hyaline, 
smooth, continuous, elliptical, ends obtuse, 18-21 x 10 /x; para- 
physes septate, slightly and gradually thicker up to the tip, 
hyaline. 
Geopyxis harmoge, Sacc. Syll., vm., No. 212. 
On very rotten, fallen twigs. Ceylon. (Th waites, No. 
1061 .) 
Type specimen examined, 
I find the spores to be shorter and broader than figured by 
Cooke in Mycogr., Fig. 282.
