Betonia trachycarpa (Curr.) 
On burned ground, McDonald’s, Algoma, September 1912 (Dodge), 
Humaria lacteo-cinerea Rehm {Ann. Myc., 3: 517, 1905). 
Apotbecia gregarious, sessile, patellate, the disk irregularly ex¬ 
panded, repandly marginate and the margin soon irregular, whitish- 
cinereous, 0.5—2 cm. in diameter, exciple glabrous, whitish, tapering 
into a very short, subcylindrical stipe, waxy. Asci cylindrical, sub¬ 
truncate at apex, 120—150x10—12 mic., 8-spored. I—. Spores ellips¬ 
oid with blunt ends, one-celled, one large central oil globule, hyaline, 
the epispore thick and warty, 12—13x7—8 mic., monostichous. Para- 
physes filiform, septate, 3—4 mic. thick, subclavate toward the apex, 
5 mic. thick, hyaline. On pine drain, greenhouse, Madison, December 
1903 (Harper). 
“Grayish throughout. This fine fungus with its white color and its 
warted spores seems to have remained unknown up to the present. 
Still the specimens kindly sent to me were old and for this reason the 
description is perhaps uncertain.” 
Specimens with the same number in the Wisconsin herbarium 
show a distinct iodine reaction, and the size of the apothecia also in¬ 
dicates that the species might be placed in the genus Piicaria. Two 
collections 'from Devils lake agree entirely with that from the green¬ 
house. In most of the specimens the spores tend to lie across the 
ascus as figured by Boudier, leones Myc., pi. 297, no 432, for Oalactin- 
ia badio-fusca , which differs from this species in having much longer 
asci Devil’s Lake, June 1905, July 1907. 
Humaria rliodoleuca Bres. 
The apothecia are 3—5 mm. broad and high, with a pink disk which 
is at first concealed by the inrolled margin. The exterior is pure 
white, furfuraceous. The spores are also characteristic, 30—40x14 
mic., with one or two large oil globules and numerous smaller ones. 
Well figured by Bresadola, Fungi Trid. p. pi. 193, fig. 2. On the ground, 
under tamarack and spruce, Perry’s swamp, August 1909 (J. Dodge). 
Humaria Wisconsinensis Rehm (Ann. Myc., 3: 517, 1905). 
Apothecia gregarious, sessile, at first globose, soon patellate, orbi¬ 
cular, the disk with a distinct margin, plane, orange-yellow, by no 
means cup-shaped, the exterior glabrous, pale, waxy, attached to 
the substratum by white hyphae, 0.5—5 mm. in diameter. Asci cla- 
vate, rounded at the apex, 40—45x5—6 mic., 8-spored. I—. Spores 
ellipsoid, one-celled, sometimes somewhat subcurved, hyaline, 6—7x3 
mic., distichous. Paraphyses filiform, septate, 2—2.5 mic., thick, not 
at all c'lavate, yellowish.. Excipulum thick, parenchymatous, context
