cyo bat said to bo minutely spinulosc. Paraphyscs slender, hyaline, 
o mic. thick, flexucus, moniXifbrm. 
This is rather frequent both in Europe and the States. The 
specimen we photograph is from G. U. Hay, Not; Brunswick. Wo also 
present (Pig. 1667) an enlargement, sixfold, of a single cup. 
ALBURCDISCUS GRANTII (Pig. 1668).- Formed of little convex 
sporophores with free but not raised margin, growing caospitoso on 
Lark, Microscopic characters as in A. nmorphus. This, by those who 
roly on the microscope, would probably bo referred to Alourocliscus 
amrephus but the fruiting bodies are entirely different in shape. Our 
jigurcs 1669 mid 1667 enlarged in contrast will show this. Based on 
two collections, 970 and 529, from J. M. Grant, Washington state, 
rlso John Macoim, Canada. 
ALEURODISOUS FARLOWII (Fig. 1670).*- Forming little disc 
shaped sporcphorcs with free, upturned margin, dark on under side. 
Spores elliptical, hyaline, 12 X 20. Paraphysos with spiny processes, 
u brush shape” m called. Growing on the small branches of the hem¬ 
lock. I have three collections from Stewart II. Burnham, New York. 
Section 2. Fruiting bodies broadly attached, resupinate with 
free, upturned margin. 
ALEUROBISCUS OAKESII (Fig. 1671).- Forming irregular, con¬ 
fluent patches with free, strongly incurved margins. Color Isabel- 
line. Spores 12 X 20, hyaline, smooth. Paraphyscs very numerous, 
some smooth and constricted, others with spiny processes. A frequent 
species in the United States on frondoso wood with preference for 
the hornbeam. 
ALEUROBISCUS JAPONIOUS (Fig. 1672).- Thin, soft, of the 
general nature of Alenrodiscus Oakesii but smaller and pure white. 
At first little, flat, white cups with erect, tomentoso edges. Spores 
14 X 28, pale, smooth. Piraphyses very numerous, “bottle brush” with 
slender spines, well shown in Hchnol's T. 4, fig. 5. 
This was received so mined from A. Yasuda, Japan (No.440). 
It is very close to Alourodiscus Oakesii, but differs in pure white 
color, larger spores and different paraphysps. 
E fills od, r u sup in ate, 
ALEUROBISCUS APICULATUS (Fig.1652).- 
with .a narrow, upturned mof&An. Color ochracoous or pinkish buff. 
Spores hyaline, unequilateral, lemon shape with acute ends, minutely 
tubercular (under my Ions) but Burt states cchinulai-e when highly 
magnified. Paraphyscs cylindrical, floxuous, aculeate at base or 
entirely covered with aculeate prongs. 1 have a. collection (Fig. 
1652) from C. N. Forbes, Hawaii, that I refer here with some mis¬ 
givings. 
ALEUROBISCUS ORIENTALIS (Fig.1675).- Forming largo 
placques with upeurvod margins, thin, effused. Color cream-buff. 
Spores globoso, 16-18, smooth, hyaline. Basidi* hyaline, wavy, 
cylindrical, 10 mic. thick. Paraphyscs filiform, hyaline, branched. 
The elements of the hynonium are easily seen ~s there arc 
no incrustod granules. Based on a collection from A. Ycisuda, Japan,
