Hypocrella marginalis P. Henn., Engl. Bot. Jahrb. (1903), 

 p. 49. 



The type is a Discomycete, apparently co-generio with 

 the foregoing, but a different species. On the other hand, 

 the specimen from Rio Jurua in Herb. Berol. (det. 

 Hennings) is identical with Hypocrella semen Bres. 



Hypocrella obconica P. Henn., Fmigi goyazenses, p. 106. 

 The type is a Discomycete. 



Hypocrella juruana. P. Henn., Hedwigia, 44, p. 61. 



Specimens in Herb. Berol., Ule 2831, 2832. Hennings, 

 after the description {loc. cit.), writes : "Die Stromata sind 

 meist voUig unreif und konnten nur vereinzelt sporen- 

 fahrende Asken aufgefunden werden." The specimens 

 consist of circular, flattened, or lenticular bodies, which 

 do not show any perithecia. They are composed of thin 

 walled hyphae, and thus differ from Hypocrella in general, 

 and they do not exhibit the characteristic Hypocrella scar. 



Moelleriella nutans Rick, Ann. Myc, II., p. 405. 



Hypocrella nutans (Rick.) Theiss. 



The type species of Moelleriella is M. sulphur ea Bres., 

 which is Hypocrella phyllogena (Mont.) Speg. The speci- 

 men of Moelleriella nutans in Herb. Berol. (Rick., Fungi 

 Austro-Americani, No. 89) is not, in my opinion, Hypo- 

 crella. I was not able to find perithecia or pycnidia in it. 



Hypocrella rubiginosa A. L. Smith, Jour. Linn. Soc, 

 XXXV., p. 18. 



This was described as occurring on the stroma of a 

 Hypoxylon. The basal part, however, is not Hypoxylon, 

 but Munkia, and the section of the fungus, which is well 

 illustrated by Miss A. L. Smith {loc. cit.), shows details 

 which suggest that the supposed Hypocrella stroma is not 

 a foreign fungus growing on the Munkia, but an ascigerous 

 stage of the latter. 



Ordinary Munkia stromata at my disposal exhibit, 

 when dry, an outer " rind," about 1 mm. thick, in which 

 the " pycnidia " are embedded, and this rind is continuous 

 all over the stroma. But in the specimens on which 

 Hypocrella rubiginosa grows, the outer rind is interrupted
