Trametis Sepium JBerk.
This species often occurs in a resupinate form, which, when
growing in the woods, is sometimes several inches in extent. The
pileate form is generally very narrow though sometimes greatly
elongated laterally by the confluence of several individuals.
Stereum complicatum. FV.
Yar. laceratum. Margin of the pileus lacerated or multifid.
Shokan. September.
Pterula setosa Pk.
Dr. Patouillard has founded a new genus, Hirsutella, to which
he has transferred this species. He also transfers Thelephora
pedicellata Schw. to a new genus, Septobasidium.
Comatricha aqualis Ph.
Mr. Geo. Massee, in his Monograph of the Myxogastres, con-
cludes that the genus Comatricha is so intimately connected with
the genus Stemonitis that it is untenable. He therefore places
this and other species of Comatricha in Stemonitis. This species
is sometimes abundant on decaying wood of sugar maple in the
Adirondack forests. The thin fugacious walls of the sporangia
have a silvery luster.
Trichia reniformis Pk.
Bark of striped maple, Acer Pennsylvanicum. Fulton Chain.
August. A rare but well-marked and very distinct species. The
clustered or subcsespitose mode of growth, the brown color of the
peridia and the short elaters are peculiar features. It has also
occurred at Karner on bark of red maple, Acei' ruhruTn.
Didymium microcarpum. Post.
An apparent variety of this species has spores a little larger
than in the type and on smooth surfaces the stem rises from a
circular h3'pothallus, which is adorned with radiating lines as in
D. radiatum.
Chrysomyxa Pyrolae P^ostr.
Living leaves of Pyrola chlorantha. Delmar. June. The uredo
form on this host has the sori mucji more scattered than on the
leaves of Pyrola rottmdifolia.
