SACCARDOELLA, Speg. 



Mich. I, p. 461. 



Perithecia large, immersed, coriaceo-carbonaceous. Ostiolum 

 papilliform. Asoi cylindrical, 8-spored, paraphysate. Sporidia elon- 

 u'ated-fusoid, setigerous-appendiculate, nmltiseptate, hyaline. 



8. Canadensis, E. & E. (in Herb.) 



Peritliecia solitary, ovate, f xj mm. sunk in the inner bark, of 

 light-colored, waxy consistence inside, the apex raising the epidermic 

 into slight pustules barely perforated by the papilliform ostiolum. 

 Asci cylindrical, short-stipitate, 200-280 x 10/v., with abundant filiform 

 paraphyses. Sporidia overlapping-uniseriate, fusoid-cylindrical, about 

 15-septate, 40-60 x 8 -9 r //, at first much smaller, uniseptate and setig- 

 erous at each end. 



On bark of Crateegus, London, Canada (Dearness). 



JULELLA, H. Fab. 



Spher. Vaucluse, p. 113. 



Peritliecia simple, subglobose, typically covered, but (in the 

 American species) suberumpent. Asci 1-2-spored. Sporidia large, 

 clathrate-reticulate, yellowish. 



J. monosperma, (Pk.) 



Sph&ria monosperma, Pk. 28th Rep. p. 79, pi. 2, figs. 36-39. 

 Julella monosperma, Sacc. Syll. 3874. 



Peritliecia scattered, seiniimniersed, ovate-hemispherical, l)lack ? 

 about \ mm. diam. Ostiolum tubercular-papilliform, flattened above 

 and soon pierced with a large, round opening. Asci clavate-oblong. 

 75-150x30-40 /*, with abundant, filiform paraphyses. Sporidia only 

 one in an ascus, densely clathrate-fenestrate. and nearly filling the 

 ascus, yellowish-hyaline.

On decorticated birch wood, Forestburg, N. Y. (Peck), on decor- 

 ticated bleached wood, Washington (Suksdorf). 



In the Washington specc. the perithecia are rather smaller (\ mm. 

 diam.), and the sporidia also are mostly not over lOOx 25 /jt, but other- 

 wise the}- do not seem to differ from the New York specc. sent by 

 Peck. The Washington specc., however, are rather old, and the upper 

 part of the perithecia is broken away so that the ostiolum can not be 

 ,-cen. J. Keller ma nni, mentioned in Cooke's Synopsis Pyrenomy- 

 cetum (5137 bis), is KeUermannia yuccce.gena, E. & E., which belongs* 

 in the Sphceropsidece (see Journ. Mycol. I, p. 153).
