Appendages concoloroua with the receptacle, the outer Bimple, straight, 

 rigid, mostly somewhat divergent; the inner consisting of a basal cell 

 often as large as that of the outer, and giving rise on either si-It; 

 distally to a branch similar to the outer appendage which bears several 

 lateral antheridia uear the base. Perithecium i including outgrowth 1 3

Laboulbenia barbata nov. sp. 



Perithecium large, pale yellowish or brownish becoming slightly tinged 

 with amber-brown, often symmetrically inflated and tapering gradually 

 to the tip, which is brownish below becoming black on the inner Bide, the 



lips subhyaline, turned Blightly outward. Receptacle concol us with 



the perithecium, normal except that cell V is greatly enlarged and 

 extends upward covering nearly one half of the inner margin of the 

 perithecium, bulging strongly outward and carrying out the insertion- 

 cell which is thus made lateral in position. Insertion-cell externally con- 

 cave or indented. The outer appendage consisting of a small roundish 

 basal cell giving rise to two, rarely more, branches antero-posteriorly, 

 which are usually once branched near the base, the branchlets very 

 elongate, Blender, attenuated, curved outward and downward : the inner 

 appendage consisting of a similar basal cell from which arise usually two 

 branches, one on either side, similar to those of the outer appendage, the 

 whole forming a hanging beard-like tuft. Perithecia 190-200 ■ 55-60 /t. 

 Total length to tip of perithecium, average 400 /i; to insertion-cell, aver- 

 age 190 200 p. Appendages, longest 450-650 p. Spores 100 • 6 it.

Laboulbenia bicornis nov. sp. 

 Perithecium wholly free, dark brown tinged with olive becoming 

 opaque, lighter at the base; very elongate, nearly Btraight, Blightly and 

 gradually inflated from the neck-like base to about the middle, thence 

 tapering very Blightly to the tip, which is distinctly though not abruptly 

 differentiated: the two inner lip-cells symmetrical each terminating in a 

 small rounded prominence which bears a Becond smaller rounded terminal
