number of curved, opake; sporidia, which are far larger than 
in the neighbouring species. 
Resembling S. lata, but distinguished by the much larger, 
opake sporidia, which are contained in clavate asci. In 
Spheria lata the asci are much more slender, and the sporidia 
minute and pellucid. |

72. S. (Villosæ) pulvinulus, n. sp; sparsa, subglobosa de- 
mum collabenti-depressa astoma hirsutiuscula atra ; sporidiis 
irregulari-subellipticis pluriseptatis ; ostiolo obsoleto. — 
Drumm. n. 225 (in part). 
On dead wood. 
Scattered, black, subglobose, at length collapsing and de- 
pressed, clothed with short pubescence. Sporidia irregular, 
subelliptic, divided by transverse and longitudinal septa. 
This species differs from all the species of the tribe with 
which I am acquainted in its sporidia. It resembles most 
Spheria hirsuta. The sporidia are just like those of SpA. 
Laburni. 
* S. sanguinea, Sibth.—Drumm. n. 225 (in part). 
* B media.— Drumm. 212 (in part). 
73. S. (Denudatæ) inspersa, n. sp.; conferta et sparsa, 
minor, atra; peritheciis subglobosis rugulosis rigidiusculis ; 
ostiolo obsoleto.— Drumm. n. 212 (in part). 
On dead wood. 
Kither scattered or forming crowded patches on bleached 
wood. Perithecia minute, globose, jet black, slightly rugose 
astomous. Asci linear; sporidia elliptic, brown. 
Nearly allied to Sph. pulveracea, but differing very much 
in the spores, which in that species are fusiform, and divided 
into four distinct cells. 
* Hysterium elongatum, Wahl.—Drumm. n. 225 (in part.)
