Dasyscypha tuberculiformis E. & E. 



On dead stems of Aqtiilcgia coendea, Red Mt, Colorado, June, 



1899, 12,000 ft. alt. (Bethel, no. 490). 



Gregarious, erumpent, tuberculiform, 0.5 mm. in diameter, sub- 

 tremelloid when fresh, clothed with long, white, mostly appressed 

 hairs, immarginate, with a small, round opening at the top, the orifice 

 surrounded by reflexed, straight, white, continuous hairs : asci cla- 

 vate-cylindrical, short-stipitate, 75 x 10 /*, with straight, linear 

 paraphyses about as long as the asci : sporidia biseriate, oblong, 

 hyaline, continuous, 10—12 x 2.5-3//. 



The specimens were not well matured so that the form and 

 size of the sporidia will have to be more accurately ascertained 

 hereafter. 



Pyrenopeziza Coloradensis E. & E. 



On dead stems of Potentilla, Red Mountain, Colorado, June, 



1899, alt. 12,000 ft. (Bethel, no. 492). 



Ascomata scattered, superficial, black, with a narrow, slightly 

 incurved margin, disk concave or plane, -j2~i mm. across : asci 

 clavate-oblong, 100-110 x 1 5 //, with simple stout paraphyses: 

 sporidia biseriate, elliptical, with two large nuclei, hyaline, 20 x 10 ft. 



Haematomyxa ascoboloides E. & E. 



On dead herbaceous stems, Takoma Park, Maryland, Feb- 

 ruary 26, 1899 (C L. Shear). 



Erumpent-superficial, orbicular, carnose-tremellose, convex- 

 discoid and wine-color when fresh, concave and nearly black when 



dry> °-5-°-75 mm - in diameter with a slight, dark-colored margin. 

 The surface of the disk when fresh is distinctly roughened by the 

 projecting tips of the asci as in Ascobolus : asci clavate-cylindrical, 

 80-100 x 12—15/1, yellowish in the mass, paraphyses filiform, 

 branched above, sporidia uniseriate, oblong-elliptical, 3 -septate and 

 more or less constricted at the septa, rounded at the ends, some of 



them slightly curved, submuriform, yellowish-hyaline, 18-22 x 

 8-10/i. * 



Also on weather-beaten oak post, Kansas (Bartholomew).
