Since the above was published Mr. E. S. Salmon has drawn my 
attention to the description and figures of Arthroderma Curreyi Berk. 
published by Currey in the Quart. Journ. Micrs. Sci. II. (1854), 
p. 241, and again described by himself in the Journ. Quek. Micrs. 
Club, Nov., 1900. Mr. Salmon kindly allowed me to see a prepar- 
ation of his fungus, and also a specimen from the Kew Herbarium 
determined by Cooke as A. Curreyi. Though on both occasions 
the fungus was described and published as a Hyphomycete; it is 
identical with the Ascomycete Ctenomyces serratus Eidam, Currey’s 
genus and Berkeley’s species have many years’ priority, and the 
original name, 4rthroderma Curreyit, must take precedence according 
to rule. 
Tichothecium Flotow (in Koerber Krypt-Kunde 1848, p. 199). 
Perithecia more or less immersed, emerging later, of a somewhat 
firm horny-carbonaceous substance, black, with a simple open pore ; 
spores 8 or more in the ascus, 2 or 4-celled, brown ; paraphyses co- 
herent in a mucilaginous mass or wanting. 
T. pygmaeum Korb. Parerga Lichenol., p. 467. 
Perithecia scattered, entirely—or to a large extent—immersed, 
usually only the ostiole emerging, globose, shining, O°l mm. in 
diameter, asci broadly clavate, tapering downwards to the stalk, many- 
spored, about 47-52 uw long x 12-14 pm broad, spores irregularly 
massed, elliptical, slightly constricted, 2-celled, brown, 6-8 MX 3-3°5 lu.

apothecium of Lecanora sp. on sandstone by the banks of the river
