Peziza dinemasporioides, K, & E. — Attached 

 by a central point, black, bristly, minute, consisting of a 

 basal membrane of cellulose -fibrose structure, with a 

 subfimbriate margin and subtended by long (300 — 400 ,w), 

 black, spreading, bristle-like hairs, the whole much resembling 

 a minute Dinemasporium. Asci 90— 100 x 8 — 10 /i, 

 gradually narrowed to the base. Parapbyses filiform; sporidia 

 also illitbrm , multinucleate , yellowish or nearly hyaline, 

 Va — % ^s long as the asci. 



On basal sheaths of dead Andropoijon, Newficld, 



N. J„ Oct. 1884. 



Hypocrea dij^itata, E. & E. — Stroma yellowish, 

 digitate, radiating from a central point and dividing into 

 numerous (2 mm in diam,)^ serai-cylindrical, finger-like lobes 

 closely appressed to and surrounding the branch and exten- 

 ding longitudinally about 5 cm. Pcrithecia numerous, 

 globose, small, with hyaline contents and black, slightly pro- 

 jecting ostiola. Asci cylindrical, 80—90 fi long. Sporidia 

 crowded or overlapping, oblong, subhyaline, 1-septate gra- 

 nular, slightly curved, 20—26 x 6 — 8 ^u. 



On a dead limb, at the ^jNotch^ in the White Mountains, 

 N. H., Sept. 1884. Miss S. Minns. 



In tlie single specimen seen, the central part of the 

 stroma was partially decayed while the digitate extremities 

 were still fresh. Belongs in subgenus Clintoniella, Sacc,

Lcptosphaeria Spartinae, E. & E. — Perithecia 



gregarious (about ^j^ mm), covered by the blackened cuticle 

 whicli is raised into little prominences over them and pierced 

 by the papllliform and at length broadly perforated ostiolum. 

 Asci 115— 120 X 12—15 f«, surrounded by abundant para- 

 pbyses and containing eight two-ranked, broadly fusiform, 

 pale-yellowish, 5 septate, 35—45 x 8-10 ,n sporidia. 



Lcptosphaeria sticta, E. & E. — Perithecia 



scattered, subovate, membranaceous, buried under the blackened 

 epidermis, which is pierced but not raised by the puncti- 

 form ostiola. Asci 100 — 125 x 15 — 20 /«, with abundant 

 paraphyses. Sporidia 1 or 2-seriate; fusiform, pale yellow, 

 5-septate, very slightly constricted at the septa, ends obtuse, 



30—40 x 7-^9 fA. 



Distinguished by its punctitorm ostiola, which are 

 the only outward indication of the buried perithecia. The 



ostiola are much the same as in Ilypoxylon punctu-
