 smaller, shorter, and narrower than the middle one, consisting of from 

 thirteen to fifteen hyaline cells : distally slightly concave, bearing a pair 

 of perithecia, the appendages small, hyaline. Perithecium large aud

 are indistinguishable in the slender fork-like prolongations which extend 

 on either side higher than the middle of the upper tier, the margin broadly 

 blackened, continuous with the opaque margin of the lower tier; the 

 lower portion of the three to five median cells marked by a few large 

 scattered transversely elongated brown patches which merge on either 

 side into the opacity of the marginal cells; antheridia very large, the 

 venter slightly inflated, the neck sharply pointed, conical, brown, often 

 abruptly contrasting, three to five of the cells immediately external to 

 them bearing normal brownish appendages : distal tier very large sub- 

 triangular, distally concave, consisting of from twenty-nine to thirty-nine 

 narrow and elongated cells and bearing from four to eight perithecia 

 with some irregularity ; the appendages brownish, paired above the sub- 

 tending cell, not as long as the perithecia. Perithecia relatively small,
