My specimens are on birch leaves, and stems of Fpilobium. 
The hairs of the cup are attenuated to an acute point and clothed 
with minute prickle-like bodies, which Desmasieres supposed to 
be the spores.* The latter are found with difficulty, and are 
ovate with an apiculus, like those of allied species. The minute 
prickles are easily rubbed off, leaving the hairs smooth and even. 
By the kindness of Mr. Murray, I have examined specimens at the 
South Kensington Museum of Natural History, of Cyphella faginea 
in Libert’s exsiccati, and C. punctiformis inKarsten’s Fung. Fenn., 
and find that the structure under the microscope is identical. The 
former is on beech and the latter on birch leaves.

* “ Nous n’avons pu obtenir que tres imparfaitement les sporules 
de cette espece : les corps que nous avons pris pour elles etaient 
prodigieusement petits, et la plupart entouraient les poils, sans 
doute par I’effect de la dissemination.”
