“ Licea macrospora Schw. in peponibus putridis. Herb. 
Schw.” 
An examination of this specimen confirms Miss Lister’s refer- 
ence of the species to Didymium difforme (Pers.) Duby. 
“ Licea microsperma B. & C. (4695) in trunc. cavo. Aug. 1853. 
Nova Cesarea : Laning (56).” 
Through a clerical error the label reads " mtcroscopica.” Miss 
Lister refers the species to Tubifera ferruginosa (Batsch) Gmel., 
but the stipitate habit and the smaller spores (4. 3-4.7 /x diam.) 
bring it plainly under T. stipitata (B. & R.) Macbr. 
“ Licea rubiformis Berk. & Curt. Japan U. S. Pac. Ex. Ex. 
(315)-” 
This is a poorly developed specimen of Tubifera ferruginosa 
(Batsch) Gmel. 
“Licea spermoides B. & C. (4867) ad fol. deject, putresc. 
Alabama: Beaumont (349)-” 
This specimen is certainly referable to var. simplex of Lind- 
bladia effusa (Ehr.) Rost, rather than to Cribraria argillacea 
Pers. (cf. Lister, Monog., Ed. 2, p. 175). 
“ Licea stipitata B. & R.” 
The herbarium contains three specimens under this name, la- 
belled respectively : 
I. “ Rotten logs. Oct. 1854. Bonin. U. S. Pac. Ex. Ex. 
(314)” 
II. “Ad lign. cariosum. Cuba. C. Wright (678). B. & C. 
Fung: Cub. 551.” 
III. “Autumno. Santee Canal. H. W. Ravenei (1305).” 
These specimens correspond respectively with three published 
descriptions, i. e. : 
I. Berkeley & Curtis, Proc. Am. Acad. Arts & Sc., 4: 125, 
1858. 
II. Berkeley, Journ. Linn. Soc., 10: 350, 1868. 
III. Berkeley, Grevillea, 2 : 68, 1873. 
The Cuban specimen is so crushed as not to show the true habit, 
but the others are typical in this respect and all are characterized 
by small spores (4.7-5 /x diam.).
