sm-cfflos Maque marcida myceHo fioccoso affixus. Lamdlæ latiusculæ, horizontales, dente obsciu-o adnatæ, subdistantes,
quandoque ftncatæ. Sforæ obHque eUipticæ, sub lente am-eo-fuscæ. nucleo parvo globoso. Margo püei inter-

This species is aUied to Ag. imomvs, Tasch, and Ag. oerodes, Fr. From the latter it differs in its soHd stem ;
from the former, in its decidedly carnose umbonate pileus.

This species was not met with dm-ing the visit of the Erebus and Terror. Ag. G k la nm could not have been
considered as belongmg to the subdivision of Cogrmi. The pUens is said by Persoon to be broader, and the stem
shorter than in BuUiard’s figure.
2. COPRINUS, Fers.
1. ComiNus Flosculus, Berk.; minimus, tenerrimus, pdeo glabro ovato demum expanso hemispherico fisso
sulcato vertice depressmsculo, stipite brevi, lamellis hberis paucis hnearibus remotis. ('Ta b . C LX II. E g . II.)

A minute Coprinm, belonging to the same section ivith Coprini,s He,nerobius, but differing from it and from the
Other species of the section in various characters. I t resembles in habit C. Hendersonu, Berk., but wants the rinu
which is characteristic of that species.

This can scarcely be considered indigenous. The mycelium in aU probahiUty existed on the timber when imported.
4. COETICIÜM, Fries.
I . COETICIÜM tremellinum. Berk.; conflnenti-effusum, gelatinosum, pellueidum, candidum, quandocue
opacum, subtiliter prmnosum, siccum non i-imosum decoloratum.
H a b . Hermite Island, Cape H o rn ; ou bark of the Deciduous Beecli in damp woods.
Falklands, e tc ] F L O llA ANTARCT ICA. 449
Primum maculas oi'biculares exbibens, quæ demum confluendo areolas tenues longe effusas omnes matricis
inæqualitates observantes efficiunt ; album, ut plm-imum pcUucidum, quandoque opacum, tenue gelatmosum, subtiliter
pi'uinosum atque cxindc nitidulum, inodorum, iiisipidum ; cxsiccatum sordide umbrimmi. Margo tenuis,
nequaquam fimbriatus, hie illic exsiccatione liber. Sporm elliptic®, majores.
Nearly allied to Corticiim viscosum, but uot in tbe least cracked when dry. I have found the same species,
apparently, in Sherwood Forest, which I had refen-ed to C. viseosum ; but the characters given by Fries, in bis
‘ Epicrisis,’ indicate a distmct species.*

winters’ snow, 1,200 feet above the sea, in an exposed place.
The only specimen seen.

The specimens collected in the latter locality are small and less tomentose th an the more usual state of the

H a b . Hermite Island, Cape H o rn ; on moss near th e sea, always solitary.
The specimens differ from the ordinai-y form, which occurs in the southern as well as in the northern hemisphere,
in then- solitary habit, more conical peridia, wbicb are ot a semi-transparent dirty orange-yellow, and in the
more ¡rregular sporangia. In structure I find no difference.
8. LYCOPEEDON, Tourn.
1. L ycopeedon cælatum. Bull. Champ, vol.i. p. 156. t . 430.
H a b . Falkland Islan d s; on a tu ft ot Bolax.
One specunen only was met with.
I t is not possible to speak very positively of a single old specimen and which had been evidently much exposed
to the weather. It is, however, certaiuly neither L. germmtum, nor L. pyriforme, and appears to me to be a state
of L. coeltttum. L. areuarium, Pers., will be found under tbe geuus Bulgaria.
9. LB PTOTHYEIUM, Kze.
I . L e p to th y u idm decipiens. Berk.; suborbiculare, atrum, nitidum, sporis tenerrimis iri-egulari-subfusi-
foi'inibus quandoque curvatis. (T a b . C L X III. Fig. I I I .)
Y An authentic specbuen, however, received from Mens. Liiidblad, since the above was printed, is not more cracked
than the Antarctic plant, Corticiwn trcnellmum must be considered, therefore, merely a highly developed form of
C. viscosnm. ^
