Hab. Conception; on the dead leaves of Quadria heterophylla. — This curious plant, of a yellow colour, 
sometimes tinged with green, covers old leaves of the Quadria ( Gevuia avellana, Mol.) with dense csespi- 
tose but radiated jointless filaments. Fructifications are frequent on the upper sides of the prostrate lateral 
filaments. — We must confess that we ai-e doubtful respecting the genus.

1. D. granulosa; nuda suborbicularis planiuscida atra opaca rugosa intus concolor, 
celhdis immersis, ostiolis niinutis nunierosissimis prominulis granidiformibus. 
Hab. Valparaiso ; on the lower side of the leaves of Eugenia Temu. — This httle plant foians uregular 
black spots on the epidermis, and has a neai’ affinity with the Dothidea of the Betula nana, in Eiwope : but 
there the surface is shimng, the cells are white, .and the ostiola are larger and more prominent. 
The following additional species appear to have been detected by the Expedition on its return to Chili, 
probably at Valparaiso, and were placed in the same packet with the Mexican Collection : on which account 
they were previously overlooked by us.
