CALOCERALES. 
“Basidia cylindrical, V)ec()ining forked with two long, pointed sterigmata. 
Hynienium fully exposed from the first. Spores always becoming septate on 
germination, and producing from each cell either one sporidiolum or a bunch of 
conidia. ’ ’ — Rea.

DACRYOMYCES Nees. 
(Gr., dalcryon, a tear; myTces, a fungus.) 
"Receptacle gelatinous or subgelatinous, homogeneous; globose, subgloboso, 
tuberculate, often becoming cup-shaped and sometimes flattened, sessile, rarely 
stipitate or substipitate. Ilymenium smooth, wrinkled or folded. Basidia with 
two long, pointed sterigmata. Spores white or yellowish ; oblong, cylindrical, 
ovoid, subelliptical or ovato-triangulai' ; simple, transversely septate or muriform. 
Receptacles pro<lucing conidia, globose, consisting of radiating, septate, monili- 
forni threads. Growing on wood.” — Rea.

55(i. Dacryomyces miltinus Berk. (Syn., (luepinia pesizacformis as identified 
by Lloyd.) ((L., miltua, a sort of red colour or vermilion). — Pezizaeform, tough- 
gelatinous, Ochraceous Orange (xv.), occasionally when old near Yellow Ochre 
(XV.), when dry or drying redder near Vinaceous Rufous (xiv.), 4 to 5 mm. 
laterally x 2 to 3 mm., consisting of a short pruinose stem passing into a flaring 
trumpet-shaped or spathulate laterally compressed liymenophore with a down- 
wards-directed, obliquely cup-shaped hymenial surface, smooth or with a few 
irregular rugae. The external surface of the hvmenopliore is less Timinose than 
the stem. Occasionally yellower with a short stem and a downward-directed 
shallow cup-shaped pez'iza-like sinooth hymenial surface. The hymenial surface 
at first appears as a small concavity sun-oundcd by a thick flat rim, later 
expanding more. Spores narrow, slightly curved, hyaline, 13 to l(i.8 x 3.7 to 5 y..

Specimens of this species were submitted to the late Di-. C. G. Lloyd who 
identified them as Guepinia pesieaeformin Berk. Recently other specimens were 
forwarded to Professor G. W. Martin who finds that the species does not belong 
to the Tremellaceous genus (luepinia and considers that it is probably the plant 
described (inadequately) by Berkeley as Dcu'-ryomyoes miltinus. He considers 
that it should probaVily be placed in the genus Guepmiopsis. 
GUEPINIOPSIS Pat. 
(Guepinia, the genus; Gr., apsis, like.,) 
"Receptacle firm-gelatinous, more or less stipitate, obliquely eupuliform (like 
the cup of an acorn) or lobed ; hymenium discoid or unilateral. Basidia forked; 
spores curyed. ’ ’ — Bourdot and Galzin.
