Mas see and Salmon.— Researches on 
three transverse septa, and at a later stage a few vertical septa appear. 
This species has only previously been recorded as occurring on rotten 
wood. 
Stemphylium asperosporum, Cke. and Mass. ; Sacc. Syll. Fung, 
x, 672 (1892); Mass. Brit. Fung. FI. iii, 43"b (1893). 
Hab . — On the dung of Burrhel Wild Sheep ( Ovis burrhel), Kew, 
Feb. 1901. 
An interesting occurrence, as the species has hitherto been met with 
only on damp wall-paper. 
Hyalosjilbeae. 
Amerosporae. Stilbum erythrocephalum, Ditm.

The present species is not the -S'. Stemonitis of Karsten (Symb. Myc. 
Fenn. xix, 93 (1887)), which, according to the description given, is 
distinct in the slightly shorter, differently shaped, asperous spores. In 
S. Stemonitis (Pers.), Corda, the spores are quite smooth.
