fascicle of mycelial threads, pale yellow ; asci cylindric, about 300- 
350 X 20/4 with a short appendage-like stem; spores ellipsoid 
with the ends slightly narrowed, hyaline or subhyaline with one 
or two large oil-drops and granular within, 27-33 X 14-18 (i, lon- 
gitudinally marked with delicate striations ; paraphyses filiform, 
slightly enlarged above.

One new synonym is added to the list above. Geopyxis data 
Massee. I have examined the type of this species and find it 
identical in every respect with Pcziza snlcipes Berk. While the 
type of Pilocratera Englerkma P. Henn. has not been seen, the 
description fits this species very closely and it is probably the 
same. In describing this species Hennings emphasizes the pres- 
ence of the stripes about the outer margin of the cups which is 
characteristic of C. sulcipcs.

Plants deep cup-shaped, stijiitate, cup about 5-7 mm. in diam- 
eter and of about the same depth, yellow when dry (probably 
much brighter when fresh), clothed about the margin with rather 
numerous fasciculate hairs ; hairs very broad at the base, often 
nearly 400-500 /t and 1-2 mm. in length ; stem slender, 1-2 mm. 
in diameter and of variable length but often attaining i cm.; 
asci cylindric, very long, often 500X15-18/1; spores i-seriate 
or with the ends overlapping, fusiform, filled with oil-drops and 
granules, curved or unequal-sided, 40-50 X 10-12 /x, subhyaline; 
paraphyses filiform, slightly enlarged above.
