FUNGI NEW TO BRITAIN. 
By Annie Lorrain Smith. 

Entomophthora Pooreana A. L. Sm, Journ, Roy. Micros. Soc. 1900, 
py 440, pl. iis; fe. 1. 
Hyphz abundant, interwoven, breaking up into short lengths, 
varying in width from 5 upwards, septate ; resting spores formed in 
an intercalary manner on anastomosing hyphae, globose, varying from 
25 u to 40 p in diameter, with a thick yellowish epispore and granular 
contents. : 
Found in the tissue of a rabbit that had been buried in a garden at 
Isleworth, about 3in. beneath the surface of the soil, until almost 
disintegrated. 
Oospora coccinea Sacc. and Vogl. Syll. Fung. Vol. IV., p. 21. 
Tufts minute, separate or confluent, brick-red to vermillion, fertile 
hyphz erect or spreading, lax or intricately compact in the mass, 
sparingly and irregularly branched, straight or slightly wavy, paler 
than the conidia, 100-140 p long by 4-6 uw thick below, thicker and 
somewhat moniliform above, preparatory to the formation of conidia; 
conidia plentiful, globose, 11 to 18 in diameter, brick-red, in 
simple or branched chains.
