Sypocrealea with the exception of Globulina. The species 

 so Ear discovered we see are entomogenous or rather 

 restricted to spiders and coccids. The species for which 

 ili-- genua was originally founded possessed peculiar sterile 

 byphae mixed with the asci, known as paraphyses. These 

 are absent in the three species since added as well as in the 

 on forms. The presence of paraphyses is given in " Die 

 Pflanzenfamilien "• as a distinguishing character, separating 

 it from Globulina. This now requires alteration.

The Ceylon specimens found on three occasions may 

 perhaps be separated into two distinct species.

The fungus forms over and around the insect a compact 

 brown circular mat or pustule of hvpha- almost deserving 

 the name of stroma. It is thickest in the middle and 



iually thins out towards the periphery where it is 

 succeeded \>\ ;i fine white hyphal fringe extending for some 

 distance over the leaf-surface. The brow r n pustules have a 

 diameter of L*5 2 mm. and the white part a breadth of about 

 1 !•."< mm. The long somewhat flask-shaped or conical 

 perithecia are borne erect on the hyphal fringe and art 1 

 conspico lUfllj coloured objects. The lower bulbous part is 



in pink; this colour then gradually deepens upwards.

 stand separately i :i few, such us five, around each pustule. 

 The perithecium fig. 2) measures 825^ long; its lower
