which, in dry weather, are waited away by the
winds from openings in Its summit. This fun
gus bears the name of Geaeter, or Star of the
Earth, from the peculiar division Of it's outer

aster bygromstricune, grows under the ground.

throw itself bodily from seven to nine inches
away from the post on In which it grew Th-rs
were several specimens of two species OF these
plants upon the table, one found BY Mr.. A w.
Longfellow in ihs sands at Hannewelrs Pr. in
this State, the others by Mr.. Fuller at Ssco
beach. Another interesting fungus upon the
table was a Sphe ia Rob-rtsii, growing from
the back of tbs neck of caterpillar three
ibches Id length. The stem of the plant was
over Eve inches in length, one aud half
inches of the extremity being occupied with
the modification or cases holding the spores or
seed. most ell forms of animal life have their
special enemies. We have often seen dead

Sphseria has done for the caterpillar, but it has
doue more II has psrvaded every part of its
body with its myeelium or roots, and replaced
every particle OF the amin al matter with vege-

the perfect form of the caterpillar preserved in
