From Marasmius Herr A. Scherffel * * * § separates those species which 
have coloured, especially brown, spores, constituting them into a new 
genus with tbe name Phseomarasmius , g. n. 
Eungi inhabiting Excrement. | — Prof. E. C. Hansen describes tbe 
structure and biology of several species of Coprinus found on the dung of 
Mammalia, viz. C. stercorarius, niveus, and Bostrupianus sp. n. Tbe latter 
species and C. stercorarius form types for two different modes of develop- 
ment, tbe one with obligatory, tbe other with facultative, formation of 
sclerotes. Tbe fungus previously described by tbe author as Eurotium 
stercorarium be now constitutes as tbe type of a new genus under tbe 
name Anixiopsis stercorarius , distinguished from Anixia by tbe absence 
of parapbyees, and by tbe spores being united into a more or less 
spherical group. 
Enngi Parasitic on Lichens. — In further investigation of this sub- 
ject, Prof. W. Zopf J describes a fungus parasitic on Pertusaria sulphurella , 
a Pyrenomycete with groups of peritbeces, wbicb be describes as a new 
species, Bosellinia Groedensis. It has tbe property of forming gemmae. 
Tbe fungus described as Bhymbocarpus punctiformis , parasitic on BJiizo- 
carpon geographicum, is tbe type of a new genus belonging to tbe Artko- 
nieae. Another new genus is represented by Dicothecium stigma , parasitic 
on several lichens, but effecting no injury in tbe gonids. Many other 
examples of parasitism are described. 
Prof. E. Kernstock§ makes a number of additions to Zopf’s list of 
Fungi parasitic or epiphytic on Lichens.
