lapping, broad-fusoid, rarely subelliptical, i-septate and not con- 

 stricted at the septum, hyaline, 14-16 X S~7 "lie. (mostly 15X7 

 mic). 



On bark of Pinus, Abies and Larix. 



Type locality : Europe.

II. Creonectria diploa (Berk. & Curtis) 



Ncctria diploa Berk. & Curtis, Jour. Linn. Soc. 10: 378. 1869. 



Perithecia in dense erumpent clusters about .5 mm. in diameter, 

 individual perithecia minute, ovate, nearly smooth, bright red, 

 finally collapsing ; asci cylindrical, 8-spored ; spores vertically 2- 

 seriate, very large, fusoid, i -septate, hyaline, with 2-4 oil-drops, 

 20-25 X 7-10 mic. 



On bark of Alnus sp. 



Type locality: S. Carolina. 



Distribution : Known only from type locality. 



ExsiccATi : Ravenel, Fungi Car. Exsicc. ^5. 



Individual perithecia resemble those of Nectria episphaeria 

 (Tode) Fries but dififer in the very large size of the spores. The 

 dense clusters of perithecia seem to indicate the presence of a 

 stroma although the specimens are too old to show any definite 

 stroma.
