gether in a close fascicle which pierces the epidermis, but rises 
only slightly above it; asci (p. sp.) clavate, 15-20 X 3%-4»; 
sporidia subbiseriate, yellowish, allantoid, curved, 3-3% XI p. 
This might, perhaps, be considered a variety of £. capillata 
FE. & E., but the habit is different and the perithecia smaller. 
CALOSPHAERIA ACERINA E. & E. 
On dead limbs of maple, London, Canada, Sept., 1895. (Dear- 
ness, no. 2361.) 
Perithecia subcuticular, circinate, 4-12, depressed-globose, 
thinly clothed with a gray villosity, black and shining inside, the 
inner substance of the wall white when cut through, inner cavity 
about 200» in diameter. Ostiola convergent and united in a 
minute disk which raises and finally perforates the epidermis, but 
projects but slightly above; asci clavate, p. sp. 35-40 X 6n; 
paraphyses 2~3 times as long as the asci; sporidia biseriate, al- 
lantoid, a little narrower at one end, only slightly curved, hyaline, 
8-12 X 2-2% ». The ostiola are scarcely exserted. 
DIATRYPE LINEARIS E. & E. 
On Eucalyptus globulus, California. (McClatchie.) 
Stroma narrow, 2-6 mm. long, 1 mm. wide, sunk in the 
weather-beaten surface of the wood, erumpent but only slightly 
projecting, nearly flat above and bordered on each side by the 
raised fibers of the wood, acute at the ends and bearing consider- 
able resemblance to Glonium lineare; perithecia 6-15, sunk in 
the stroma, globose, with rather thick coriaceous walls, 400-500 » 
in diameter, dull white inside, roughened above by the slightly 
projecting papilliform or subconical ostiola; asci (p. sp.) about 
60 X 7 » or, including the filiform stipe, 120 long, paraphysate, 8- 
spored, sporidia subbiseriate above, allantoid, brownish, slightly 
curved, 7-10 X 2-2% », mostly about 8 X 2% p. 
Differing from D. hochelagae E, & E. in its narrower sunken 
stroma. 
MELOGRAMMA HORRIDUM E. & E. 
On dead beech, London, Canada. (Dearness, no. 2369.) 
Stromata elongated, % cm. high, 2-3 mm. broad, densely 
caespitose-crowded and subconfluent, the surface colliculose, and 
roughened by the quadrisulcate stout spine-like ostiola like those 
of Eutypa spinosa, to which this bears outwardly a striking re- 
semblance; perithecia ovate-globose, 4-4 mm. in diameter, __ 
with rather thin coriaceous walls, black and shining inside, sunk 
in the surface of the wood-colored stroma; asci cylindrical, 100-
