tectis. Ascis clavatis, abbreviatis. Sporidüs elliptieis, con- 
tinuis, hyalinis (0075 x 003 mm.). 
On gourds. U. 8. ; ; 
The sporidia are not mature, but the endochrome is 
divided, and there is every probability that they are uni- 
septate when mature; in fact, in some instances they appear 
to be so now; but this cannot be affırmed positively, al- 
though a figure beside the specimens in Herb. Berk. repre- 
sents the sporidia as uniseptate. | -
