quite rankly developed rather definitely limited plants with a 
tendency to a narrowed base. 
Naematelia —Firm, fleshy nucleus enclosed by a thick gela¬ 
tinous stratum, fibrous floceose within, the whole surface covered 
with hymenium. 
13. Naematelia encephala (Wild) Fr. (Syst. Myc. II p. 227.) 
Subsessile, pulvinate, variously plicate and contorted, firm; 
pale flesh color; nucleus large, white; spores pear shaped, 
15-18/a. Fungus 1 to 3 cm in diameter and 1 cm high. 
Hare. The only typical specimen that I have seen was found 
by E. 0. Dodge of Algoma, Wis. ' It is much larger than the 
one described by Fries and not so distinctly flesh colored, hut 
there seems to he no question as to its identity. Hot reported 
before for this country. 
14. Naematelia nucleata Schw: Fig. 27. 
This form I have found on dead branches of oak, poplar and 
elm. At first it forms a clear transparent body sessile or al¬ 
most so as the stipe is hidden by the mass of the fungus which is 
much flattened out on the sub-stratum. As soon as the fungus 
begins to dry the so-called nucleus or central body is plainly 
seen and the fungus takes on a reddish tinge and dries down in¬ 
to a reddish brown film in the center of which is the hard white 
nucleus which does not seem to have been affected by the drying 
out of the fungus. 
Specimens of a Naematelia were found on birch which dif¬ 
fered from the one just described in that they had a slight pink- 
ish color from the first and formed a darker brownish crust 
when completely dried out. The nuclei were the same in both 
cases. 
Common. Apparently not before reported for this country.
