This is the species which Parkin compared to Torrubiella 

 fomentosa Pat. An examination of perithecia of the latter 

 species, kindly furnished by Professor Patouillard, shows that 

 it is distinct, 



Torrubiella suhlintea Petch, n. sp. Stroma circular, up to 

 3 mm. diameter, compact, pulvinate in the centre'^ with a 

 broad margin, white, margin somewhat floccose, centre 

 acquiring a matted surface which becomes a more or less 

 glabrous wrinkled sheet. 



Perithecia situated round the thickened centre, singly, or 

 more usually in groups, tomentose up to two-thirds their 

 height, or clothed with mycehum which forms a common 

 covering to two or three perithecia and acquires a glabrous 

 external layer, elongated conoid, slightly attenuated above, 

 0*75 mm. high, 0'33 mm. diameter below, brownish-yeUow, 

 darker brown at the apex, subtranslucent, by transmitted 

 light pale yellow to brownish-yellow, slightly brown towards 

 the apex ; asci long, cylindrical, capitate, eight-spored, 6-8 ^j. 

 diameter ; spores filiform, as long as the ascus, septate, 

 dividing into cylindrical part-spores, 3-6 X 1 "25 [>.. 



Conidia on the stroma or on the perithecia, arising laterally 

 from regular simple hyphse, either fusoid, three-septate, ends 

 acute, but not produced, 18-24 x 4 {x, or five-septate, ends 

 strongly attenuated and slightly curved, 36-46 X 3-4 (x, or 

 seven-septate, falcate, ends equally curved and attenuated, 

 48 X 4 (JL.

Torrubiella barda Petch, n. sp. Stroma up to 3 mm. 

 diameter, compact, pulvinate, lacunose, sometimes with 

 a broad thin hypothallus, orange-yellow, egg-yellow, or 

 becoming whitish, more or less tomentose, but with the 

 surface layer matted and tending to become membranous and 

 glabrous. 



Perithecia round the base of the pulvinate part of the 

 stroma, solitary or clustered, usually surrounded by a weft of 

 hjrphae of the same colour as the stroma, so that only the
