•IYCOLOGICAL NOTES 
pale, smooth, thin, peeling away from the enclopericliurn, not forming 
a cup, Endoperidium thin, pale with somewhat glaucous surface, 
Gleba when young bright yellow, at length olive with no tint of 
purple, Capillitium pale, short pieces with abrupt ends, unbranched, 
about 4 mic. in diameter. Spores globose, 5-6 mic., pale, smooth 
with minute apiculus. 
This first reached me from T* S. Brandegee, Galiacan, Mexico, 
in 1905, I have since received specimens from P. B. Kennedy, Reno, 
Nevada, 17. A, Archer, Columbus i New Mexico and I, M. Johnston, San 
Antonio Mts., southern California, 
The species differs from most Catastomas in its smooth, 
spores, and from Catastoma ievispora in having no purplish tint to 
the gleba, and from Catastoma Johnstonii in pale (sometimes gl ancon?) 
endoperidium, shape and nature of the exoperidium. 
CATASTOMA JOIINSTONII PROM DR. I, M. JOHNSTON, CALIFORNIA, 
Depressed, globose, Exoperidium thich, rough. Endoperidium thin, 
darli brown, becoming crached when old. Gleba darh reddish brown but 
no shade of purple. Capillitium of short, pale, unbranched pieces, 
about 4 mic. in diameter. Spores globose, 5-6 mic., smooth with a 
very small apiculus. 
Mr. Johnston sends five collections, each a single^ specimen. 
To the eye it is very similar to the common species, Catastoma cir- 
cumscissum but readily distinct in its smooth spores. I can not so 
state but I thinli it grows in the same way with its "mouth down .

TTere we to determine this from boohs we should call it 
Exidia saccliarina but we Know this in Europe and it is not that 
species. The color might be compared to brown sugar but better 
a raisin. Me do not find it in Ridgway, but- pecan brown is not 
away, Ehile it has no papillae we put it in Exidia on the^spores. 
As previously stated the line between Tremella and Exidia is nor a 
to draw. In general appearance this is rather^ a Tremelxa, Tie co o' 
is somewhat like that of Naematelia nucleata when old* 1 j due

POLYSTICTUS SUBCONGENER FROM DR. J. B. CLELAND, NEM SOUTH 
MALES (Fig. 1578).- Me can not consider.this as other than o form 
of the common Polystictus occidentalis with scabrous r a oh-, , 
hirsute surface and larger pores. It was one ox Berkeley iH' 
overs", dug up by Coolie and named Daeda3.ea subcongener, - Li -^ ^^ 
if the type are somewhat daedaloid which is not unusual m 
rrvictus occidentalis. The surface, however, as snovn oy oa 0 
graph of the type, is short and sub-scabrous_(noi velL-uix...o c,a 
described ) and this is the important factor to us. ^he^pores c 
also much larger than in Polystictus occidentalis buo ' c 
j len are round, not daedaloid.
