i As the plant was overlooked by Mr. Massee when dealing 
with the Hyphomycetes in his British Fungus Flora, and has 
never been figured, it seemed worth while to note it in the 
| Transactions of the British Mycological Society, at whose meet- 
ing in Dublin in September 1898 it was shown by me.

Careful search has failed to discover any other specimens, so 
that the existing ones, so far as I know, are unique. ‘The type has 
been deposited in the British Museum. PI. 1.

Other interesting species are Papulaspora sepedonioides, Myxotri- 
chum chartarum Kze. and M. deflexum, Berk., Helicomyces roseus, 
Link, Ramularia rape Pim, &c. A curious black mould occurred 
on a decaying Sapucaya nut. It resembled Aspergillus very strongly, 
but differed in having the strings of spores, attached to very delicate 
hyphz depending from the columella. It was described in Proc. 
R. I. Acad., 1883, as Alliaspora Sapugayz, Pim.

In conclusion I may mention a remarkable plant, though not a 
Hyphomycete, that I discovered on grass in a silo at Glasnevin 
Model Farmand which was described by me inthe Gardeners’ Chronic- 
le for 22nd December 1883. Mr. Worthington G. Smith described it 
in his ‘Diseases of Field and Garden Crops,” p. 68, as Saprolegnia 
philomukes as it was parasitic on Isaria fuciformisand partook of the 
bright red color of the host.
