Seaver: Hypocreales of North America 57 



60-80 X 13 niic, 8-spored ; spores partially 2-seriate, broad- 

 fusoid, i-septate, very slightly constricted, 17-18X7 mic, hya 

 line {pi 5-f- 9)- 



On dead foliage of Cnpressus. 



Type locality : Newfield, New Jersey. 



Distribution : Known only from type locality. 



ExsiccATi : Ellis, North Am. Fungi, /jo. Other specimens 

 examined: New Jersey, Ellis (cotype). 



Drstinguished by the size of the broad-fusoid spores as well 

 as by the habitat. 



Our own examination shows the spores to be larger than indi- 

 cated by Mr. Ellis in previous descriptions. The perithecia 

 except for the smaller size somewhat resemble those of Nectria 

 Peziza (Tode) Fries but the species is readily distinguished by 

 the difference in the form and size of the spores.

Perithecia >;cattered, globose, with a minute ostiolum, orange, 

 nearly smooth, collapsing; asci cylindrical, 70-80X10-12 mic. 

 8-spored ; spores i-seriate with the ends overlapping, subfusoid, 

 a little constricted at the septum, often slightly unsymmetrical, 

 with several oil-drops, hyaline, 18-22 X 7-10 mic. 



On bark and old fungi. 



Distinguished by the size of the spores. 



Type locality: Maine. 



Distribution: Maine to (Florida ?).

A note is enclosed with the type of this species in the 

 Ellis collection stating that the last mature perithecium had been 

 used in writing the description for the Journal of Mycology so 

 that the writer has little to draw from in the present work except 

 the description by Mr. Ellis. Accepting the spore measurements 

 given by ^Ir. Ellis this character is sufficient to distinguish the 

 species from any of the others listed in this paper. 



Nectria poliosa Ellis & Everh. corresponds with the above in
