Hennings from New Guinea, seems from
the crude figure to be Xylaria carpophila.
Xylaria luzonensis, named from Philippines by Hennings, seems from
crude figure to be Xylaria multiplex in original sense of Fries (not
Thiessen).

THE GENUS ENGLEROMYCES.
Plants large, subglobose, with alveolate, sinuate carbonous exterior.
Stroma white, fleshy, 1½-2 cm. thick. Perithecia carbonous, forming
several stratose layers, imbedded in the stroma in the depressions.
Spores 12-15×18-24, dark, smooth, curved, agreeing with Xylaria
spores.
ENGLEROMYCES GOETZEI (Figs. 856 and 857).--This is the largest
Pyrenomycete, and as far as known only occurs in Eastern, tropical
Africa. In 1900 Hennings described and named it, and there are several
specimens on exhibition in the museum at Berlin. Some years later
(1906) a specimen reached Paris from the same region. It was sent to
the anthropological museum at Paris, the collector taking it for a
fossilized skull. The reference to a skull is not inappropriate as will be
noted from our photograph (Fig. 857) from the specimen at Paris.
Patouillard, not knowing of course what Hennings had done at Berlin,
renamed it Colletomanginia paradoxa. Our figure 856 shows a section,

and the arrangement of the perithecia. Practically nothing is known as
to its habits. Patouillard states it occurs on the trunk of Abies, Hennings
on Bamboo. We feel that on publication of our photograph there will be
no occasion for further names for it.

FOOTNOTES:
[1] Thus there is no doubt whatever in my mind that Camillea turbinata
is Sphaeria caelata of Fries, but not knowing the Friesian species from
specimens, I take the only sure name I know. Montagne refers it to
Camillea poculiformis, but I do not think he knew more about it than I
do, and I do not know anything excepting the "description."
[2] So shown in one specimen on Fig. 848, but doubtful if it is a
character of the plant.
