Stromata rather numerous, often thickly scattered over the leaf, visible 

 on both sides but more conspicuous on the under side, small, ranging from 1-2 

 mm. in diameter, several often confluent; perithecial cavities few to each 

 stroma, opening on the under side of the leaf; asci clavate, 8-spored; spores 

 fusiform, slightly unsymmetrical, about 6 X 25-30 /JL. 



On Duranta repens L, Type collected by F. S. Earle at Nassau. No date given 

 Specimens collected also at Rio Piedras, Porto Rico, by H. H. Whetzel and Edgar

 but differs from that species in its much longer aud narrower spores.

Epiphyllous on slightly discolored areas; stromata 1 mm. broad, confluent 

 in long anastomosing lines which often follow the principal veins, black, shin- 

 ing, prominently elevated; loculi crowded, not prominent, about 150 t*., ostiole 

 none; asci stipitate, cylindrical, about 65 X 7 /*; paraphyses abundant, thread- 

 like; ascospores obliquely mouostichous, colorless, narrowly ellipsoid, about 

 20 X 5 M. 



On leaves of Galactia rudolphioides, Soldiers' Road, New Providence, June 25,

5. Ophiodothis bahamensis Seaver, sp. nov.

 fluent, lenticular in form, smooth, shining-black, the surface slightly roughened 

 by the protruding necks of the perithecia; perithecia consisting of globose or 

 ovoid cavities; asei reaching a length of 200-400 ,u and a diameter of 20-25 /*; 

 spores filiform, nearly as long as the ascus, reaching a diameter of 2 /j..
