Rev. M. J. Berkeley and Mr. C. E. Broome on British Fungi. 365 



Immersed in the brown inner bark^ casting off the cuticle ; 

 perithecia globose; ostiola conical, elongated; asci clavate; 

 sporidia '0005 inch long, biseriate, oblong, pointed at either 

 extremity, constricted in the centre, uniseptate, quadrinucleate. 



Fruit exactly like that represented by Currey under /S>. entero- 

 leuca, 



' 843. D. (Concrescentes) stipata, Curr. in Linn. Trans, vol. xxii. 

 p. 274. On elm. F. Currey, Esq. 



Allied more nearly to D. elevata than to Z). stellulata. Spo- 

 ridia sausage-shaped, -OOOT-'OOOQ inch long. Mr. Currey finds 

 them sometimes reaching -001. 



844. D. (Concrescentes) elevata, Berk. & Br. ; Sphceria elevata, 

 Berk. Decades, no. 71. 



On dead twigs of Euonymus, Batheaston, Jan. 1852, C. E. B. 



Asci clavate; sporidia numerous, sausage-shaped, 0*0003- 

 0-00035 long. Our measurement does not accord with Mr. 

 Currey's, though our figure of the fruit does in other respects. 



845. D, (Circumscriptse) corniculata, B. & B. ; Spharia cor- 

 niculata, Ehr. Cr. Exs. no. 300. On dead branches. Lucknam, 

 Wilts., C. E. B., March 26, 1850. 



Asci clavate, containing eight sausage-shaped sporidia, '0004- 

 •0005 inch long. 



846. D. (Circumscriptse) cincta, B. & B. ; Valsacincta, Curr. 

 /. c. fig. 135 (not 185, as in text). 



On twigs. Blackheath, F. Currey, Esq. 



Sporidia dark, obtuse, constricted in the middle, uniseptate, 

 •0007 inch long. 



This is certainly not a true Valsa. In fruit it approaches 5. 

 Notarisii, Mont. & Dur., but not in the ostiola. It appears to 

 grow on some Rohinia. 



847. Valsa (Circumscriptse) syngenesia, Fr. Summ. p. 411 ; 

 Sphceria syngenesia, Fr. Obs. ii. t. 7. f. 1. On elder. Elmhurst, 

 March 1852, C. E. B. ; Clifton, Notts., M. J. B. 



Our plant is exactly what is figured by Fries. In Mr. Cur- 

 rey's plant the sporidia are elUptic-acuminate, with a quadri- 

 partite endochrome; in ours they are minute and sausage- 

 shaped.

 p. 278. On dead hawthorn twigs. Blackheath, &c., F. Currey, 

 Esq. 



The figure of the spores, as given by Mr. Currey, accords with 

 what we have seen in the early stage of growth ; but at length 

 they are strongly constricted, uniseptate, with two distinct nu- 

 clei in each articulation, and '0006 inch long, which accords 

 with his measurement. It cannot, then, be any form of Valsa 

 stilbostoma.
