Patouillard. We Lave little doubt this is the plant Moeller has as 
Cordyceps rubra, but vre adopt Patouillard's name, not that ue love 
Patouillard more or Moeller less, but ue are sure about Patouillard’s 
and there is more or less doubt as to Moeller's. 
COBDYCEPS BOMBI FROM REV. J. RICK, BRAZIL (Fig.1026).- As 
named by Rev. Rich. Clubs simple, a feu branched, long, slender, 
tapering to slender, filiform tip, broun, tough. The surface appears 
powdery but under the microscope is resolved into thick (0 mic.) 
pale colored, septate hyphae, no doubt conidial. Perithecia dark, 
free, borne on upper portion of the club, but only one of my speci¬ 
mens is fertile. Spores v/ith but feu septa and long, secondary 
spores but they may not bo mature. This greu on a larva in a cocoon, 
a" species of Bomba (teste Rich). Our photograph is characteristic 
and no similar species has been illustrated. Figure 1G27 is a por¬ 
tion of the fertile club enlarged sixfold. There are but very few 
species of Cordyceps v/ith free perithecia and none hnonn to me at 
all lihe this. 
CORDYCEPS RICKII FROM REV. J* RICK, BRAZIL (Fig. 1628).- We 
are very much pleased to record a fine collection of Cordyceps from 
Father Rich growing from the head of some larva. Simple or compound, 
the clubs which in the dried specimen were Mars yellow were probably 
more orange uhen fresh. They are about 2 cm. long and strongly dis¬ 
tinct from the pale stipe. Perithecia (as shoun in our section, Fig. 
1629 enlarged) are very minute and entirely imbedded. Secondary 
spores 2 mic. long. 
We tried to fit this to Cordyceps submilitaris as illustrated 
by Moeller, and v/hich has the same general appearance but tho discrep¬ 
ancies are too great. The shape of the club, complete imbedding of 
the perithecia so that the surface (Fig. 1630 enlarged) is smooth, 
the mouths not protruding at all and the very small spores, 2 mic. 
instead of "8-9'', all forbid. I Jo have a feeling that it is Cordyceps 
hormospora of Moeller but if so Moeller f s specimen uas imperfect and 
his illustration not characteristic of the plant. 
CORDYCEPS FLAVELLA FROM REV. J. RICK, BRAZIL (Fig. 1631, right 
enlarged).- There are but feu Cordyceps v/ith globose heads. This Oxie 
uas named from Cuba about fifty years ago. I believe Moeller also 
found a single specimen in Brazil and called it Cordyceps incarnata. 
The specimen at Kcv/ v/hich originally had five clubs is mostly gone, 
but v/e found a nice specimen v/ith tv/o clubs at Paris (Fig.1631, left 
enlarged) that Berkeley had sent to Montague. Rev. Rick's collection 
is the third one made and consists of a single head v/hich v/e photo¬ 
graph (enlarged sixfold. Fig. 1631, right). Fig. 1632 is natural 
size. The stem is about half broken off and tho host is a Geomotrid 
(teste Rick). The color both of the head and the stem is pale yellow, 
ostiolos slightly protruding, secondary spores I did not examine 
owing to scantiness of material. 
While there is little doubt in my mind but that the three 
collections arc all the sane there are discrepancies in tho records. 
Originally greu on a bug, secondary spores 3 mic. (teste Massee). 
Moeller collection on a "Raupc", secondary spores 12-15 nic 6 long. 
Rick collection on a Geomotrid, secondary spores not examined.
