Gilbert—Tremellce of Wisconsin. 1143 
is simply due to tlie first bulging out of the stout bases of the 
four sterigmata. This off-hand and careless method of disput¬ 
ing facts, established by so many earlier authors and which as I 
have myself observed can be confirmed with the greatest readi¬ 
ness, is very surprising. 
My collections were made in the region of Madison, Blair and 
Lake Superior, from 1906 to 1909. Considerable material, al¬ 
ready in the herbarium of the University of Wisconsin was also 
available. 
With the list of the species, I have included rather copious 
notes since the forms are so variable and evanescent that their 
identification is a matter of great difficulty. The technical 
descriptions of genera and species are largely those of Fries as 
modified by Winter. 
Lists of Species by States. 
I find the number of Tremeliineae reported from the United 
States is small and from a number of states I do not find any at 
all in the literature that I have examined. 
The following lists are the most complete I have found: 
Farlow (80) Mass. 
Dacrymyces stillatus Fr. 
Calocera cornea Fr. 
Exidia glandulosa Fr. 
Guepinia spatliularia Fr. 
Tremella aurantia Schw. 
Tremella foliacea Pers. 
Farlow (86) Yt. 
Tremella aurantia Schw. 
Calocera, viscosa (S) Peck. 
Hirneola auricula-Judae (L.) Berk. 
Bundy (67) Y/is. 
Tremella albida Huds. 
Tremella fimbriata Pers. 
Tremella lutescens Fr. 
Tremella mesenterica Retz. 
Dacrymyces stillatus Nee'S. 
Exidia glandulosa Fr. 
Auricularia mesenterica Bull.
