ON FUNGI FROM QUEENSLAND, ETC. 223 
It forms black, shining patches from 44 to js inch in length. Asci clavate; 
sporidia fusiform, curved, arranged in one ог two rows, about 0:0007 inch long. Col- 
lected by Mr. C. Burton, at Northcote, Queensland. On some species of Fimbristylis 
(Е. М. Bailey, по. 453). 
854. Брин якта ($ SuBTECTA) Macrozamia, Berk. & Broome. (Plate XXIX. figs. 31-35.) 
Perithecia immersa primo sparsa, denique conferta, nigra; ostiolis brevibus erum- 
pentibus. 
Seated beneath the cuticle, at first scattered, at length aggregated into a black 
mass, the perithecia surrounded by a subiculum of coarse, dark brown, branched threads. 
In the early stage the perithecia are conidiiferous, but later on asci occur, the conidia 
and sporidia being very similar. Perithecia at length collapsed and cup-shaped. On 
the fruit of а new species of Macrozamia from the Daintree River. Sporidia distinct, 
fusiform, about 0:0008 inch long. Brisbane (F. M. Bailey, no. 459). 
855. SPHÆRIA ($ Suprecra) SACCHARI, Berk. & Broome. (Plate XXIX. figs. 36-39.) 
S. peritheciis sparsis vel aggregatis minutis, nigris, erumpentibus ; ostiolis sublongis, 
acutis. 
The perithecia occupy chiefly the spaces between the nerves of the leaves and are 
surrounded by dark-brown septate threads, the acute ostiola piercing the cuticle. 
Asci linear; sporidia 8, oblong, continuous, with a nucleus at either end, 0:0015 inch 
long. Apparently immature. On sugar-cane. Woodlands, Queensland (William 
Broome). 
356. SpH#RELLA Litsex, Berk. & Broome, п. sp. (Plate XXIX. figs. 40-42.) Peri- 
thecia sparsa, nigra, ad maculas brunneas margine nigro circumdata. 
The perithecia are rather prominent, black, seated on a pale brown spot, which is 4 
to 12 line across, they vary from 4 to 15 on each spot; asci clavate, containing 8 
elliptic or fusiform, hyaline, continuous, 0°0018 inch long sporidia, sometimes in a 
double row. Brisbane (Е. М. Bailey, sent without a number). 
357. SPHHRELLA Паммавж, Berk. & Broome, n. sp. (Plate XXIX. figs. 43-45.) 
_ Perithecia nigra, innata denique erumpentia ; ostiolis brevibus, obtusis, ad maculas 
pallidas, margine elevato, brunneo ; ascis clavatis, sporidiis fusiformibus. | 
Spots very pale brown or yellowish, surrounded by a dark brown, raised margin, 
resin-coloured at first; perithecia black, at length piercing the cuticle with the short, 
black, obtuse ostiola; asci clavate; sporidia 8, fusiform, 0007 inch long, apparently 
continuous, but perhaps immature. On leaves of Dammara robusta, C. Moore. Bris- 
bane (F. М. Bailey, no. 482).
