Kaiser In climbing Wittenburg (3,802 ft.) in the Southern Catskill Mountains of New York on the nth of August, 1912, my attention was arrested by mats of Dicranum fulvum Hook, upon whose leaves were growing clusters of what ap- peared to be glossy brown ovoid capsules. Upon further investigation these clusters were found to be the fructifications of a Myxomycete, which was later determined by Frank J. Keeley as Leocarpus fragilis (Dicks.) Rost.—a synonym of Leocarpus vernicosus Link. This slime mould rather frequently occurs on dead leaves, but seems to grow rarely on mosses.
