ASTERINA GLOBIFERA E. & E. 
Epiphyllous. Perithecia scattered, ovate, becoming more or 
less depressed and collapsed, small, 100-200 p diam., astomous, 
membranaceous, overrun and surrounded by an obscure mycelium, 
consisting of yellowish-hyaline prostrate, septate, branching 
threads and erect or ascending moniliform, brown threads. Peri- 
thecia at first filled with yellowish-brown, globose cells, 6-9 7 
diam, among which, later on appear the obovate or subglobose 
asci 20-30 x 15-20 y containing 8, elliptical hyaline spordia 15— 
20 < 8-10 » composed of two globose cells with a constriction 
between them. 
On Grevillia sp. No. 1946. 
SCIRRHIA LOPHODERMIOIDES E. & E. 
Stromata narrow-elliptical or linear, 44-2 mm., long, or by con- 
fluence 4-1 cm., long, raising and splitting the epidermis, black. 
Ascigerous cells globose, 150-200 p diam., lying in a single series. 
Ostiola inconspicuous. Asci oblong, sessile, 80-90% 20-22 p, 8- 
Spored. Sporidia crowded-biseriate, cylindrical, curved at the lower 
end (with a septum where the curve begins)? greenish-hyaline, 
35-40x7-8 uw. Differs from S. striaeformis, Niessl., in its longer, 
cylindrical sporidia. 
_ On dead culms of some grass. No. 2368. 
Puccinia Oanuensis E. & E. 
II. & III. Sori mostly hypophyllus, erumpent, naked, orange- 
yellow, pulverulent, subconfluent, not margined by epidermis. 
Uredospores obovate, orange-yellow, coarsely and strongly echinu- 
late, 22-30 X 20-22 p. ce 
Teleutospores mixed with the uredospores, obovate-elliptical, 
smooth, yellow-brown, slightly constricted, darker at the apex 
and slightly thickened, but without any distinct papilla, 27-40 
* 15-20 pv. Pedicles shorter than the spores. 
Remarkable for its almost permanently yellow sori, which 
only become a little darker after the leaves become dead and dry. 
P. Windsoriae Schw., has spores on longer pedicels, more dis- 
tinctly thickened above and scarcely constricted. 
On leaves of some unknown grass (resembling Panicum or 
ffolcus). No. 1976. 
Urepo verara E, & E. 
Sori amphigenous but mostly epi hyllous, pluvinate, scat- 
_ tered, Gate 141 mm. diam., Ae pen Te by a reddish- 
Purple discoloration, covered by the epidermis which is finally 
ruptured in the center or cracks across, but still remains covering 
_ Me sori. Spores elliptical, pale, with a thick epispore, faintly 
_ aculeolate, 22-30 «x 18-20 p. Paraphyses sparingly developed.
