Auxarthron californiense ORR & KUEHN - 4805. Deer dung. Máriabesnyő, 8 April, 1964 (ascocarps globose, brown, 125—200 p in diameter, excluding appendages; peridial hyphae thick-walled asperulate, pale brown, forming a loose network; elongate appendages orangebrown, darker than peridial hyphae, smooth, uncinate apically, 110 — 180 p long, usually one or two basal knuckle joints present; asci subglobose, 6.4 — 7.5x4.8 — 6.4 p, 8-spored; ascospores subglobose, 2.8 — 5 x 2.1 — 3.6 p, pale yellow-brown, echinulate; reverse of colonies on SABOURAUD'S agar with actidion, penicillin and streptomycin yellow-brown, brown to almost black, Plate I, fig. 1 and 2). — The fungus was known to occur only from pack rat dung in South California. Its discovery in Hungary is a significant datum. L. ZELLER (Microbiological Institute, L. EÖTVÖS University of Sciences, Budapest) succeeded to bring the fungus to form fruitbodies on artificial substrate. The ascocarp, developed on natural substrate, was inoculated first to SAROURAUD agar containing also actidion, penicillin, and streptomycin. The fruitbodies evolved here were then transferred to SAROURAUD glucose-agar, and the fungus developed satisfactorily. Bombardioidea bombardioides (AUERSW.) C. MOREAU — 4728. Deer dung. „Dobogókő" near Visegrád, 14 Sept., 1964 (perithecia: cca 1200 x 640 p, spores: 21.4X 10.7 p in 8-spored asci, and 30.3 X 14 p in 4-spored asci). C. MOREAU (1953) described the new genus Bombardioidea only in French. However, he gave clear indication that he designates the only species of bis new genus Sordaria bombardioides AUERSW., with the new combination Bombardioidea bombardioides (AUERSW.) C. Moreau. Although in that place (1. s. cit., p. 135) he does not cite the data of AUERSW ALD'S original description, lie made it formerly (1. s. cit., p. 111). I believe we have every reason to regard C. MOREAU'S new combination as valid.
