Eucantharomyces Callidae nov. sp. 

 Perithecium rather narrow, Blightly inflated, tapering from about the 

 middle to the blunt tip which is rather abruptly distinguished externally, 

 sometimes bent outward, its distal margin outwardly oblique; the rela- 

 tively small trichophoric cell simulating :i lip-cell, projecting slightly be- 

 yond the latter externally, l>ut not abruptly distinguished on it- iuner 

 side; the outline of the perithecium becoming inconspicuously corrugated 

 through the presence <>f sometime - as many as eleven successive eleva- 

 tions; the basal cells elongated, the base of one of the outer external to 

 the stalk-cell from which it is separated by an oblique septum Ioi 

 than tin- width of the Btalk-cell, which is narrower below and about equal 

 to the basal cells in length or somewhat shorter. Receptacle symmetri- 

 cally Bulcate distally, rather long, the two cells nearly equal. Appen- 

 dage rather long, its basal cell extending downward and lying exterual 



to the upper half of the subbasal cell of the receptacle; the sul.basal cell 



more than twice as long as broad, the marginal cell reaching to its base 

 and distally prominent. Antheridium relatively small, the antheridial 

 cells in three rows of live, four, and three cells respectively, thedischai 

 tube rather short and stout, erect or bent but slightly. Spores in X

Eucantharomyces Africanus nov. sp. 

 Very similar to E. Callida. Amber brown. Perithecium large sub- 

 fusiform, the margins generally indistinctly corrugated, sometimes marked 

 by line transverse striations which may be whollj absent, the tip rela- 

 tively small and rather abruptly distinguished, the trichophoric cell well 

 defined, projecting beyond the lip-cells so that the apex usually appears 

 oblique asymmetrical and Blightly Bulcate; the basal cells somewhat
