Pilze. 203 



composed of a puir of cells, the antheridium proper consisting of certain basal 

 cells, two tiers of peripheral cells, which Surround (not on al sides ?) numerous 

 antheridial cells and a oavity above them, an three or four terminal cells, 

 ■which appear to Surround au opening through which the antherozoids are 

 discharge, and which subsequently grow upward, forming terminal simple 

 appendages of irregulär length." 



Poly as comy ces n. g. „Receptacle consisting of two superposed cells, 

 the npper bearing a perithecium lateraly and a appendage terminally. 

 Appeudage consisting of a series of superposed flattened cells surmounted by 

 a dorne shaped portion which is not persistent (a Compound antheridium ?). 

 Perithecium with a distinct stalk-cell and well developed basal cells, the 

 supporiing cell and the lower well cells forming a broad base the upper sur- 

 face of which forms a broad ascigerous area, the asci arising from great 

 numbers of tfscigerous cells." 



Die Gattung ist von allen anderen durch die grosse Zahl der schlauch- 

 tragenden Zellen (meist über 46) unterschieden. 



Linmaiomy ces n. g. „Receptacle consisting of two portions, a basal 

 part below the perithecium and a distal part united to ite posterior margin ; 

 the basal portion consisting of a simple basal cell, surmounted by two tiers 

 of cells (some what as in Peyritschiella), the anterior cell of the upper tier 

 giving rise to a Compound antheridium in structure similar to that of 

 Peyritschiella: the distal (marginal) portion consisting of au inner aud an 

 outher elongated cell, the inner terminating in one of the bell-shaped appendi- 

 enlata cells <haracteristis of Chitonomyces, separated from the simple appendage 

 by a broad, constricted, blackened septuni ; the outer by succesive subterminaL 

 external proliferations forming a series of cells from which a smaller secoudary 

 appendiculate cell is separed above the whole corresponding in development to 

 the external portions of the tiers of cells in Dichomyces, the profiferation taking 

 place to the right and left successively, so that the appendages appear to ans© 

 in two rows." 



Die gut begrenzte Gattung nimmt eine Mittelstellung zwischen 

 Peyritschiella und Chitonomyces ein. 



Eucorethromyc.es n. g. „General form as in Rhadinomyces, the 

 receptacle consisting of two superposed cells, the upper giving rise to the 

 perithecium and appendage. Perithecium as in Rhadinomyces, stalked. 

 Appendage consisting of several superposed cells tlie distal one bearing terminally 

 a series of branches which produce free flask shaped autheridia laterally, borne 

 on short lateral branchlets or sessile." 



Clem atomy ces n. g. „Receptacle consisting of a basal and a sub- 

 basal cell from which arises distnlly a main axis bearing a terminal perithecium 

 and formed by a double row of cells; the cells of the external row producing 

 sterile appendages, those of the inner producing ether secondary axes similar 

 in structure to the primary one, or antheridial branches; the secundary 

 axes producing antheridial or sterile branches on both sides and like the 

 primary ones bearing a simple terminal perithecium. 



The autheridia simple, borne as in Compsomyces, usually several from the 

 distal and successive cells." 



Misgomy ces n. g. „Receptacle consisting of numerous cells superposed 

 Bingly or in tiers of two to three cells each, terminating in a more or less 

 irregularly cellular base bearing appendages singly or in gronps. The solitary 

 perithecium arising beside the appendages, the two situated in relation to one 

 another as in Laloulbenia." 



Antheridien wurden in dem untersuchten Material nicht gefunden. Wahr- 

 scheinlich steht das Genus Laboulbenia nahe, während es andererseits ar* 

 Formen von Ceratomyces erinnert. 



Euzodiomy ces n. g. „Receptacle elongate, multicellular ; consisting of 

 a large and indefinite number of cells superposed above ihe Single basal cell 

 and distally becomiug didived by few or many longitudinal septa; the 

 distal portion bearing a unilateral series of perithecia and appendages. 

 Perithecia with from nine to ten cells in each row, borne on a three celled 

 stalk." 



Das Genus ist mit Zodiomyces verwandt.
