 leaf of Diospyrus Toposia. 



v. -ry similar to 5, but the hypothallus not so wide, about 

 0*32 mm. 



7. — On a pale Aleurodes, sp., on the lower surface of the 

 of Filicium decipiett8. 



Stroma olivaceous, without hypothallus; pyonidial orifices 

 arranged more or less in a circle. 



Most likely old stromata, similar to the old ones men- 

 tioned under 5. 



The presence or absence of a hypntliallus appears to me 



of doubtful taxonomic value. Stromata on the same leal 



may or may not have it markedly developed. Atmospheric 



conditions perhaps have something fcodo with its develop- 



at. 



<M course such a character at tb whether the fungus is 

 epi-or hypo-pliylloiis is of no value, as naturally the position 

 varies with thai of the insect. Cdccids usually frequent 

 th' lower Burface of leaves, no doubt for protection.
