cells of the series, both laterally and terminally. Stalk-cell of the peri- 

 theciuni short, not distinguished from the basal cells; the body of the 

 perithecium oblong or oval, tapering abruptly distally to form the slender 

 well-distinguished tip, which tapers slightly to the blunt unmodified 

 apex. Spores 25 x 3 /*. Perithecia 55-65 x 22-28 /x. Appendage 

 including branches 75-100 it. Receptacle 25-140 X 7-12 it. Total 

 length to tip of perithecium 100-220 it. 



On the elytra and abdomen of Trichopteryx Haldemani Lee, Intervale, 

 N. II., August, 1901. 



Laboulbenia acanthophora nov. sp. 



Pale smoky brown. Perithecium relatively very large and elongate, 

 the lower wall-cells forming a well-developed stalk, slightly narrower 

 and paler than the main body, which is very long, straight, but 

 slightly inflated, tapering slightly at the relatively short, stout, more 

 deeply suffused tip ; one of the lip-cells forming a median, terminal, 

 erect, slightly curved and tapering, blunt-tipped, dark brown projection, 

 the lower half broader, the whole more than twice as long as a similar 

 second outgrowth which, arising near its base, curves outward on the 

 right side (the perithecium being considered anterior). Basal cell of 

 receptacle subhyaline, more than twice as long as broad, the subbasal 

 subisodiametric, darker brown than the other cells; cells III and VI 

 subequal, lying perpendicularly side by side, both several times longer 

 than broad ; cell IV about as long as cell III ; cell V small, obliquely 

 separated. Insertion-cell black, well defined. Outer appendage (broken) 

 simple (?) its basal cells blackened ; the branches curved outward, 

 externally blackened below, and giving rise above to several successive 

 branchlets. Spores 75 X 4.5 *,. Perithecium (main body) 220 X 50 ti ; 

 stalk 60 X 30 M ; terminal appendage 60 p. Receptacle 220 X 65 /*. 

 Appendages (broken) 150 it. Total length to tip of perithecium 580 tt.

 Indies. 



Laboulbenia Bledii nov. sp. 

 Color uniformly pale dirty yellowish. Perithecium more than two 

 thirds free, rather slender, tapering to the tip, which is more or less 

 well distinguished ; the lip-cells rather coarse and prominent, with a 

 subterminal blackish shade on the inner side. Appendages divergent 

 and free through the enlargement of cell V : the outer appendage simple, 

 short, four- to five-celled ; the basal cell of the inner appendage some-
