3- A. lecideella, Nyl. Willey, op. cit.. n. 96. On trees. 1866. 
Rare. 
4. A. (lidyma, Kbr.r A very scanty specimen on white pine, 
1S84, with 2-locular brown spores .010-14 by .006-8 mm , may belong 
here. 
5. A. glaucescens, Nyl. On oak, 1867. 
6. A. biforillis, (Flk.) Schser., f. develata , Nyl. Willey, op. 
cit., n. 114. (A. velata, Nyl.) On trees, 1867. Very rare. 
**Apothecia black. 
f Spores bilocular. 
7. A. patelllllata, Nyl. On trees; the best form on poplar, but 
rare. Spermatia .003-4 mm - long. 
b. subpallidiuscula , Nyl., Flora , 1885, p. 448. Willey, op. cit., 
n. 154, (the first syllable accidentally omitted.) On trees. 
8. A. exilis, (Flk.) Anz. A solitary and scanty specimen on 
dead wood, 1875. 
9. A. dispersa, (Schrad.) Nyl. On trees, Quincy, 1870, and N. 
B.; the best state on witch hazel. 
10. A. subminutula, Nyl., Flora. 1885, p. 311. Willey, op. cit.. 
n. 187. On white pine. 1884. Very rare. 
11. A. subminntissima, Nyl., Flora, 1S85, p. 448. Willey, op. 
cit., n. 191. On small branches of pitch pine, 1882. 
12. A. terrigena, Willey, Op. cit., n. 153. Nyl., Flora, 1885, p. 
488. On naked earth in woods south of Allen street, 1881. and occa¬ 
sionally elsewhere. 
13. A. Hibernica, Nyl.. Flora , 1876, p. 237? On oak, Quincy, 
and on witch hazel and barberry, N. B. Thallus very thin, whitish. 
Apoth. minute, black, numerous, scattered, rounded or oblong or ir¬ 
regular. Spores bilocular, ovoid, without color, .014-22 by .006-11 
mm. Perhaps a plant on smooth bark of hemlock spruce. 1875, with 
similar apoth., and spores .013-18 by .007-9 mm., which I had dis¬ 
tinguished in herb, as A. abietina, does not differ. Nylander’s de¬ 
scription of his plant is: “perhaps a subspecies of A. excipioida, 
from which it chiefly and constantly differs in its larger spores, .016- 
21 bv .006-8 mm.” Our plants were referred here provisionally by 
Nvl., but I am inclined to think they are not the same. 
[A. Austinii , Willey, op. cit., n. 15, is the same as A. dispersula , 
Nyl., ibid, n. 183. See Nyl. .Japan, p. 108.]
