EXCLUDED GENERA AND SPECIES. 
PAUROCOTYLIS PILA.—This plant which was included by Berkeley in 
the Gastromycetes has been shown by Patouillard (Bull. Myc. 03-339) to belong 
to the Tuberaceae, having its spores in asci. We have received from Robert Brown, 
New Zealand some fine specimens 
of which we are enabled to pre¬ 
sent an enlarged photograph (fig. 
47) that will give a correct view of 
the internal structure. The cuts 
heretofore issued have been very 
inaccurate. (Fig. 48) plant natural 
size, fig. 49 section.

PROTOGLOSSUM EUTEUM.—We would class this plant as 
a Hymenogaster. We have never made a close study of this order, 
but the genus appears to us to be strongly distinct. The figure in 
Cooke’s Handbook does not belong to the species, having been made 
from a misdetermined plant of quite a different nature and spores. 
Cycloderma platysporum, Diploderma suberosum, Diploderma 
album, Diploderma fumosum and Diploderma melaspermum are all er¬ 
roneous (cfr. Myc. Notes p. 181).
