This species is closely related to Coryne sarcoides (Jacq,) but is dis- 
tinguished by the larger size of the plants and spores. The two species 
seem to grade into each other. 
119. Barlaea miniata Crouan. Plants small, 2 to 5 mm. in diameter, 
at first concave then nearly plane, orange-red; asci long, 150 by 16 to 18 
mic.; sporidia globose, with 1 large guttula, epispore delicately reticulated, 
reticulations regular, 15 mic. in diameter; paraphyses slender, enlarged, 
upwards, filled with orange granules. 
On rather sandy soil, among moss. Iowa City, Iowa. May 22, 1905. 
120. Hysteroyatella prostii (Duby) Rehm. Plants small, 1 mm. ia 
length or less, black lips spreading, asci about 50 by 10 mic.; sporidia, 
slightly curved, brownish, 3-septate, about 15 by 4 mic. 
On old bark (elm?). May 5, 1905. Iowa City, Iowa. 
121. Hysteropatella elliptica (Fr.) Rehm. Plants scattered or col- 
lected in little groups, rather larger than the preceding, black, lips spread-, 
ing sporidia straight or slightly curved, 3-septate, brownish, 23 by 8 mic., 
On old bark (crab apple?) ..August 1905. Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. 
This and the preceding species are rather closely related. The two, 
have been included with the pyrenomycetes but belong more properly 
with the discomycetes.
