Clilorospleniiiin chlora (Schw.) Massee 
Probably belongs to another genus. The species is known to me on¬ 
ly by the specimens identified by Rehm. Blue Mounds, October 1902; 
Blue Mounds, September 1903 Rehm vid. 
Cholorosplenium versiforme (Pers.) De Not. 
The color of the apothecium distinguishes this species from the two 
preceding. It varies considerably, being purplish-brown, rusty-yellow, 
very dark-olivaceous, or deep bottle-green. It is generally larger. 
The disk may be as much as four centimeters broad, and like the othersi 
it is either cup-shaped or irregularly developed, often ear-shaped, and 
tapers downward, forming a much wrinkled, depressed, stem-like por¬ 
tion 1-2 cm. long. In drying the dark lustrous olive colors are much 
more evident, or they may dry rusty-yellow, while the others are gen¬ 
erally brilliantly colored when dry. Persoon, leones et Descr., PI., fig. 7 
figures the dark-olive forms. The color of the exterior of fresh speci¬ 
mens is wen shown by Berkeley, Out., pi. 2, fig. 6*„ but the interior is too 
bright green for our forms. Mature spores often show a fine clear-cut 
septum not mentioned in descriptions. Logs on which some specimens 
were found had been recently cut across and it was noticed that portions 
of the wood were colored blue-green. As the mycelium of this species 
is said by preceding authors not to possess this characteristic, careful 
examination was made of other logs from which specimens had been col¬ 
lected. In a few cases the color in the wood could be traced directly 
to the fruiting bodies, but in general the colored portions were rather 
deep seated. I have also collected fine specimens from Fort Lee, N. J., 
where the more decayed parts of an ash log were deeply colored yet 
only slight traces of the color were found in contact with the apothe- 
cia; still I am convinced that it was due to this species rather than 
to either of the others accidentally present. Homewood, August 1903;

Ciboria fuscocinerea Rehm (Ann. Myc., 7: 525, 1909). 
Apothecia gregarious, sessile, at first globose and closed, then cyathi- 
form, finally the disk more or less explanate, orbicular, with a very 
thin margin, sometimes umbilicate in the middle, 0.3-1 cm. in diame¬ 
ter, with a cylindrical stipe, glabrous without, attenuated and tawny 
towards the base, 0.5-0.7 mm. thick, 1-5 cm. long, context hyaline 
ashy, finally alutaceous-fuscous, waxy, and prosenchymatous. Ascl 
cylindrical, rounded and thickened at the apex, 150x10-12 mic., 8- 
spored. I-f. Spores oblong-clavate, obtuse at the upper apex, often
