On dead twigs of Coffee. February. Sporidia *0006 inch 

 long. Appendage short, obtuse. Differs from the last in its 

 erumpent habit and shorter spores. It is curious to find two 

 species so closely allied on the same matrix.

 On dead wood. Unfortunately this very distinct species is 

 without fruit ; but the shining extremely obtuse perithecia sepa- 

 rate it from others of the section. It is just intermediate be- 

 tween Perttjs.^ and DENrnAx^a;.

 tiseptatis. (196.) 



On dead bark. The substance of the stroma under the micro- 

 scope has a reddish tinge and sends out threads, which are 

 crowned with conidia.
