one or both the inner cells divided by a longitudinal septum, 

 15-20x6-8//. 



Differs from T. muricata E. & E. in its shorter and narrower asci 

 and narrower sporidia. 



Closely allied to T. emilii Fabre. 



Teichosporella montanae E. & E. 



On drift wood, in Mill Creek, Sheridan, Montana. June, 1892. 

 (Mrs. L. A. Fitch.) 



Perithecia scattered, ovate-conical, i-J mm., diam., at length 

 partially collapsing above, emergent-superficial among the loosened 

 fibres of the wood, membranaceous, black, perforated above. Asci 

 clavate, short-stipitate, 8-spored, with abundant paraphyses, 80-85- 

 x 12-15//, (p. sp. 65-70//). Sporidia biseriate, oblong-clavate or 

 oblong-elliptical, 3-5-septate, with 1-2 of the cells divided by a 

 longitudinal septum, hyaline, 22-30 x 8-12//, mostly a little curved 

 and finally more or less constricted at the septa. 



Lophiosphaera hysterioides E. & E. 



On a rotten log of Carya, St. Martinville, La. Jan., 1890. 

 (Langlois, 2,215.) 



Perithecia densely gregarious, hemispherical, subelliptical on a 

 transverse section, about f mm. diam., with their bases slightly sunk 

 in the wood, black, subcarbonaceous. Ostiolum linear, compressed, 

 extending nearly or quite across, open, and often with a parallel 

 groove on each side of the base ; sometimes the ostiolum is only 

 slightly prominent, then resembling Hysterium. Asci slender- 

 clavate-cylindrical, 55-60 x 8//., (p. sp.) or, including the slender 

 base, 80-90//- long, with abundant paraphyses. Sporidia subbiseri- 

 ate above, fusoid, uniseptate and constricted at the septum, slightly 

 curved, pale yellowish-brown, 16-18 x 4-4 £//. 



Lophiosphaera gloniospora E. & E. 



On decorticated willow limbs, among driftwood, in Mill Creek, 

 Sheridan, Montana. June, 1892. (Mrs. L. A. Fitch.) 



Perithecia scattered or gregarious, erumpent, convex-hemispherical, 

 about f mm. diam., of carbonaceo-coriaceous texture, becoming prom- 

 inent but not superficial, remaining more or less covered by the 

 fibers of the wood. Ostiolum narrow, compressed, not apparent in 

 the young specimens. Asci cylindrical, short-stipitate, 100-110 x 10- 

 12//, 8-spored, with abundant paraphyses. Sporidia uniseriate, 

 obovate, hyaline, uniseptate, constricted at the septum, 12-16 x 6-7//,
