H. raelalehca, E. & E. Proc, Phila. A cad. July, 1890. 



Subiculum membranaceous, thin, white, covered except the mar- 

 gin with a single layer of .minute (110-130 //), slate-colored perithecia 

 filled with globose sporidia ? (or perhaps stylospores. as no asci were 

 seen). 



This seems to he a distinct species, but requires further observa- 

 tion with more perfectly developed specimens. Seems different from 

 //. oUrdcra, C. <k E. 



H. corticiicola, E. & E. Journ. Mycol. 1, p. 140, (Plate 11) 



Perithecia globose, pale. 75-100 tt diam., buried in tlie stroma 

 and visible under the lens as horn-colored specks. Asci clavate* 

 cylindrical. 20-22 x3| p. sessile, without paraphyses. Sporidia hi- 

 seriate, eight in an ascus. each consisting of two o-lobose, hvaline cells. 



/ 



easily separating and 1-1J // diam. (mostly 1 p or a little over). This is 

 closely allied to H. hypomycella, Sacc. Mich. I, p. 302, Syll. II, p. 529, 

 but differ? in its asci and sporidia being only about half as large as in 

 that species. 



Parasitic on Corticium scutellare, B. A: C.,or some closely allied 

 species, on dead limbs of Magnolia and oak. Newfield, N. J. 



H. subcarnea, E. & E. Journ. Mycol, III, p. 114. 



Perithecia carnose. pale, minute (80 //), buried and barely visible 

 under the lens as minute specks, giving the surface of the Corfichun 

 a punctate appearance. Asci subcylindrical, sessile, without paraph- 

 yses. 30-35x5-7 ft. Sporidia uniseriate or partly biseriate above, 

 suhhyaline (with a yellowish tint), oblong-elliptical, 1-2-nucleate. 

 3|^Jx2-2| a. Outwardly this scarcely differs from H. corticiicola, 

 K. iV E., but the sporidia are very different, much like those of//, con- 

 similis, Ell., from which, however, it is quite distinct. 



Parasitic on some thin Corticiinn, on dead limbs of Lonicera 

 lying on the ground, Newneld. N. J 



H. lactea, Fr. Summa. Veg. Scand. p. 383. 



;t Carnose, broadly effused, ba.re. milk white, ostiola punetiforin. 

 Asci cylindrical, 56x4 /JL, suhecjual cells of the didymous, hyaline 

 sporidia, globose, 3 /^ diam." In Sacc. Syll. II, p. 529, the species is 

 credited to North America. We have seen no specimens. The habitat 

 is given as on rotten wood, on Polyporus medulla-panis and on the 

 ground.
