lowish-cinereous, subcoriaceous. Asci cylindrical, rounded at the 
apex, 150-180x10-12 mic., 8-spored. I+. Spores oblong, straight or 
subcurved, rounded at the ends, glabrous, 1—celled, one large oil glo¬ 
bule, hyaline, 20—22x5—5.5 mic., monostichous. Paraphyses filiform, 
1.5 mic. thick, 2.5 at the apex, hyaline. On wood, East Madison, 1903 
(Harper). 
“Similar in form and in iodine reaction to Geopyxis perforata 
(Karst.) Sacc., but differs in color and in spore characters. Very near 
Feziza nebulosa Cooke, Mycog., pi- 73, fig. 281. Exs. Ellis N. A. F., no. 
437. The apothecia are always cyathiform and the spores are pointed at 
both ends, 30-35x5-7 mic., and according to Cooke they are slightly 
rough.” 
This species differs from Ciboria fuscocinerea mainly in the length 
of the stipe. The two forms are certainly very close together and per¬ 
haps should not be distinguished from Peziza nebulosa Cooke. As the 
number of the collections shows, this is a common and fairly abund¬ 
ant form and the material is reasonably uniform.

Otidea Harperiana Rehm (Ann. Myc., 2: 34, 1904). 
Apothecia sessile, at first subcyathoid, vertically split on one side 
from the base, sublacerate here and there on the margin, finally con¬ 
torted, more or less explanate, not elongated laterally, narrowed towards 
the base in a slightly stipe-like fashion, disk undulate, reddish brown, 
excipulum umber bay, rugulose, velutinous, the cortex parenchymatous, 
made up of yellowish tawny subglobose cells about 30 mic. broad, 4-10 
cm. in diameter, 1.5-5 cm. high, tapering into a short stipe, whitish 
at the base, and drying subcoriaceous, fragile. Asci cylindrical, 
rounded at the apex, 300x12-14 mic., 8—spored. Spores oblong, ellip¬ 
soid rounded at each end, one-celled, not guttulate, smooth, hyaline, 
15—17x5—7 mic., monostichous. Paraphyses filiform, septate, 3 mic. 
thick, toward the apex 4 mic., hyaline. I-f. On the ground. Blue
