Perithecia gregarious, globose, |-| mm. diam., with thick cori- 

 aceous walls, buried in the wood, abruptly contracted above into a 

 short neck with an obtuse-conical, erinnpent ostiolum. Asci cylin- 

 drical, 75-80 x 7-8 IJL (p. sp.), with abundant paraphyses. Sporidia 

 uniseriatr. brown, continuous, rather acutely elliptical, 10-15x5-7 // 

 (mostly 12 x 5 a). The surface of the wood is uniformly blackened. 

 and the sporidia when mature are discharged as in Mcissaria.

Perithecia subcuticular, erinnpent, hemispherical, rough, J-| mm, 

 ffiam., with the ostiolum slightly prominent and broadly perforated. 

 Asci linear, 114x7 //, with abundant paraphyses. Sporidia uniseriate. 

 narrow-elliptical, continuous, brown. 7-1 Ox 5-G it. Some of the peri- 



thecia contain stylospores which are much like the ascospores, only a 

 little shorter. 



On cones of red pine, Utah (S. J. Harkness). Mostly on the 

 back of the scales, and covered by the overlapping point of the next 

 <cale below. 



Differs from A. conorum, Fckl., in its smaller perithecia and spo- 

 ridia and different stylospores. 



A. ostiolata, Ell. Bull. Torr. Bot. Club XI, p. 42. 



Perithecia single or 2-4 together, J-| mm. diam., nearly buried 

 in the unchanged inner bark, but with about one-third of their upper 

 part projecting and closely covered by the blackened epidermis which 

 is pierced by the short, stout ostiolum. Asci cylindrical, 80-85 x 7-8 //. 

 with filiform paraphyses. Sporidia obliquely uniseriate, oblong-ellip- 

 tical, brown, 1-2-nticleate, 10-13x4-5 //.
