Perithecia gregarious or scattered, light yellow, about J mm. diam.. 

 globose at first, subfurfuraceous, and thinly clothed with short, erect, 

 subglandular hairs, finally collapsing so as to be easily mistaken for a 

 Peziza. Asci clavate-cylindrical, 35-45 x 6-7 //, 8-spored. Sporidia 

 either biseriate, 8-11 x 3-3 J u or obliquely uniseriate, 8-12x4-4i a. 

 elliptical or oblong-elliptical, 2-4-nucleate, with some sporidia in old 

 specimens, becoming uniseptate. 



On rotten wood of various deciduous trees, not uncommon. 



X. dispersa, ('. & E. Grev. V, p. 33. 



Perithecia widely scattered, ovate, papillate, light red, about J mm. 

 high, sparingly clothed with pale, weak, glandular hairs. Asci cylin- 

 drical, 70-80x10-12 //. Sporidia subbiseriate or obliquely uniseriate. 

 oblong-elliptical or almond-shaped, often more prominent on one side. 

 ,18-22x7-10 ft, ends subacute while lying in the asci, rounded when 

 f ree? 2-4-nucleate, becoming uniseptate. Cooke finds triseptate, curved 

 conidia 50 /JL long. We have not seen them.

Scattered, bright crimson, soft, collapsing laterally, seated on a

Scattered, superficial, pale. Perithecia globose, at length sub- 

 depressed (2 mm.), at first beset with papillose, hyaline hairs, finally 

 bare. Asci clavate, 8-spored. Sporidia lanceolate, uniseptate, not
