NEW LABOULBENIALES. 685 



town, Jamaica, is long and slender and evenly curved throughout; 

 the receptacle relatively slender and tapering below, the peritheciuni 

 long; the outer wall-cells more conspicuously shorter than the inner, 

 the neck slender and longer than the venter, from which it is not very 

 abruptly distinguished, characteristically and slightly geniculate at 

 its junction with the tip; the apex not at all distinguished, the termi- 

 nation unlike either of the preceding forms, the outer lips broad and 

 rounded, the inner forming a minute papilla placed somewhat lower. 

 Unlike other individuals from the legs, this variety attains a consider- 

 able length, measuring up to 315 /jl in length. 



Var. e. A single specimen. No. 2643, from Kamerun, West Africa, 

 is very long and slender, the venter short and inflated, with indications 

 of distal elevations which alone serve to distinguish the elongate, 

 slender distal portion, the base of which tapers gradually, becoming 

 then nearly uniform in width to the very apex, which is modified 

 much as in var. a and b. 



Var. f. No. 2043b from Clarkstown, Jamaica and occurring on 

 the legs, is a shorter stouter form, measuring about 260 X 45 ju; the 

 peritheciuni and receptacle of about equal length, the latter but 

 slightly smaller than the former, both tapering more or less uniformly 

 to the pointed base and apex, the outer and inner lips equally broad, 

 not prominent, the inner slightly lower. 



Var. g. No. 2132, from Sarawak, Borneo, a still smaller and more 

 compact form, the longest measuring 150 X 25 ijl, growing at the tip 

 of the abdomen, the perithecium tapering throughout to the rather 

 blunt extremity, the lips slightly prominent and more or less similar; 

 the appendage four-celled, a condition which is occasionally found, 

 especially in more depauperate forms of the other varieties. 



Var. h. No. 1305, on Ilythca spilota Curtis, collected at Kittery 

 Point, Maine, is similar in general form to Var. f, measuring from 190- 

 200 n, the perithecium about 120 X 35 fj,, and longer than the recepta- 

 cle. The appendage is apparently always four-celled, and the color 

 slightly different, but otherwise it possesses no distinctive characters. 



Stigmatomyces Chilensis nov. sp. 



Receptacle rather stout, nearly uniform, hyaline, becoming faintly 

 suffused; the basal cell very slightly inflated distally; the subbasal 

 distinctly longer, slightly broader distally than the stalk-cell region 

 of the perithecium. Stalk-cell of the appendage amber-brown, con-
