Chitonomyces aethiopicus nov. sp. 



Perithecium red-brown, darker on the inner side, with faint transverse 

 Striatums, somewhat curved; the inner lip-cells producing at the left a 

 blackish brown projection directed obliquely outward across the tip and 

 resembling a canine tooth, the inner lip-cell on the left producing a much 

 smaller, blackish, inconspicuous, tooth-like projection ; one of the inner 

 wall cells abnormally developed, bulging inward against and almost over- 

 topping the Bubterminal appendiculate cell, the greater portion of the 

 margin of this outgrowth nearly horizontal and extending from the apex 

 of the perithecium to the insertion of the Bubterminal appendage which 

 is -unk in an abrupt depression between it and the base of the ter- 

 minal cell of the receptacle. Receptacle nearly hyaline, strongly curved 



throughout, Consisting of a long basal and BUbbasal Cell which appear to 



lie side by side for nearly their whole length, tin' lower marginal cell of 

 the distal portion almost obliterated by the body of the perithecium, the 

 Bubterminal cell large triangular, the terminal cell about as large, and 

 separated from it by a nearly horizontal septum; wholly free, abruptly 

 geniculate, the distal portion much narrower, erect and black (the tip 

 broken), abruptly distinguished above an external bulge of the portion 

 below it. Perithecia 128 < 40 ft, the tooth-like projection 18 ,«. Re-
