Roseum, gregarium ; clavulis furcato-ramosis, brevibus. Sporis ovalibus, hyalinis (.012 X .01 mm.).
Although colourless when dried, the drawing which accompanied it gives distinctly the form, and bright rose colour. It nevertheless requires better knowledge of its life-history before its affinities become certain.

On leaves of Poa foliosa. Canterbury Alps (398).
Punctiforme, atrum, gregarium, compactum. Caespitulis hemisphericis, velutinis, atris. Hyphis dense fasciculatis, brevibus, septatis, sporisque olivaceis (sporis .02-.04 x .007 mm.).

Minima. Stipite rugoso-sulcato, pallido ; capite ochraceo, depresso-globoso, laevi, glabro ; sporis minutis, linearibus.
Not more than a quarter of an inch high. It is a Coryne, as interpreted by Berkeley, and not by Tulasne.
On herbs. Maungaroa (220).
On dead wood. Waitaki, River Bealey, Little, River, Otira, Winton, Wellington (Travers).
On sticks. Wellington (Mr. Travers).
Paler than in the usual form, externally woolly. Sporangia 12 mm., brownish; sporidia shorter by nearly one-third. A very neat variety, perhaps a distinct species.

Sporangia 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 ; epiderm 1/10 mm. thick; spores .012 x .009 mm.

Greatly resembling C. vernicosus, DC., but distinct in the sporangia and spores. Probably it was this which Berkeley referred doubtfully to C. Emodense, B.

Sparsa, sessilis, pallida, villosa, 1-3 mm. diam. Cupulis excavatis, margine incurvo. Spores ellipticis, infra apiculatis (.02-024 x .015 mm.).
The dense flexuous hairs are about three to four-tenths of a millemetre long. A most distinct and notable species. I am indebted to my friend, Mr. W. Phillips, of Shrewsbury, for assistance in the examination of this and many of the Discomycetes.

Effusa, applanata, undulato-lobata, fuliginea; papillis minimis conspersa, subtus laevi. Basidiis clavatis, furcatis (?)
Very tough, much flattened, and more delicate than E. glandulosa, to which it is allied. The specimens are probably immature, no globose basidia were seen.
On the ground. Maungaroa.
Clavulis inflatis, ovatis, depressis, vel collapsis.
The clubs collapse and overhang the stem, as in Leotia, but the fruit does not differ sufficiently to warrant its separation as a distinct species.

On bark. Little River, Banks' Peninsula (305), Maungaroa (321).
The spores are larger, and more distinctly coloured than in the original typical specimen of P. fulva, but we hesitate to separate it on the faith of a single specimen.
